Just because this might be the right place to share: I started my new assignment this month as a Platoon Sergeant at the Wounded Warrior Battalion here. It's keeping me busy as hell, but I'm really beginning to think I made the right choice in seeking out and accepting the billet.
There's a lot of guys who are hurt pretty bad physically, and I think we are all, to varying degrees, a little different mentally - not always for the best. I include myself, though I'm not combat wounded and managed to zig when I should have zigged.
There's also a good number of just plain injured Marines, not combat-related, who are either trying to recover in time to get back to their unit prior to deploying, or get fit enough to stay in and carry on their careers. It's pretty inspirational at times.
I'll admit outright I have no real point to this post, but I do want to say that if anyone has any questions at all about how we're taking care of our Wounded Warriors - whether you're military or not, or just curious about how your tax dollars are spent - you can feel free to PM or email me anytime. It might take me a bit to reply, but I'll likely answer any questions you have and more.
It's just something I'm proud of, because we're doing it RIGHT. I like to share that whenever I can.
