I knew I had PTSD as soon
as I got back to Rochester.
Being back in a normal environment,
I felt vulnerable all the time
because the thing about
getting shot by a sniper,
it was as normal of a
day as it could have been
for me in Iraq.
And then with the sound
of the crack of a rifle,
my whole life changed.
And I had this scenario in my mind,
that even though I knew
this wasn't gonna happen,
that there would be another
DC sniper type of copycat
who would be drilling holes
in the back of car trunks
and shooting people at gas stations.
So I had a big fear of
going to the gas station
and standing there and pumping my gas
and thought to myself,
"This isn't normal."
