Its a long story. Astory that started in 1992 when I was discharged from the Army- general Under Honorable conditions. My time in was all Infantry. In those days the military didnt have aclasses and such to prepare people about to leave the mioitary. You were literally cut out and on your own the same day. Culture shock was setting in. I was homeless for about 6 months. I found work were I could, an odd job here and there. All told, over 65 jobs from 92′ – 06′. My mental health was not the best. Tried suicide twice. I finally got tired of all the BS I was getting for being on the “REG” in Michigan. So I thought I could start anew in Arizona. For the most part, not bad. But some things just dont change. Once a job finds oiut about your background, all the BS starts. And it dont stop there. Here in the AZ, realtors are TRAINED not to rent or sell to SO’s!!! So you can see my frustration here.
Also, Im a disabled vet, hence the title. Im 100%, the highest you can get. But as I found out a few days ago, that means NOTHING. I tried to gain entry to Luke AFB. I went to the visitors center to register there as a disabled vet visitor. They came back and told me that the SO charges will not allow me on base, PERMINATELY !!! So even thogh I served, did my time, paid all my fines, still means NOTHING !!!! So to all you vets on the SO REG, be ware……
