I started having issues
with leadership.

I started gettin' into it
with some higher-ranking

marines that I was
working with

and I didn't really have
any other marines around me

that understood what I
had been through,

because it was a
training command,

so I couldn't really
go to anybody.

So, one day they just say,
"Hey, go to mental health

"and we think you got
some issues or somethin',"

so sent me over to
sick call,

went into the mental
health clinic,

and they pretty much
after a couple of meetings

with them, they
diagnosed me with PTSD

and that was new to me.
