My name is Andrew my is rank TSgt retired Security Forces Air National Guard. When I returned from my first deployment to Iraq in the fall of 2007, I was told I was a bad NCO and not promoted and that I should not be retained in the Guard. They then asked would I go on the next deployment in four months. I did go I felt I had a duty to go with my Airman. This caused some serious problems with my employer the County Sheriff’s Office. I had also been a County Sheriff Deputy for about 9 years at that time. while on the second deployment I was having trouble sleeping so I went to EMEDS on Sather Air Base on the VBC. They doctor whom I was sent to see was a little courious why I was there and not at my base in Kirkuk. I told her I had completed my tour left and had come back for a second one. While on my first deployment I lost two people whom I knew and this was a factor in my sleeping issues. I was told I had PTSD at Sather Air Base. I was on no meds but in counseling. When I returned in the fall of 2008. I was told I was not going to be retained in the Air National Guard. I chose to retire. When I returned to my civilian employer I was an out cast. I was met at the side door and asked if I was going to go on a shooting rampage. I found out that night my PTSD information had been leaked to my employer by my unit. My life in law enforcement was over. I was not on any meds prior to that. I was very hurt. I was told that my Sheriff was very upset at my deployments and felt I was disloyal to the Sheriff Office. I was in two traffic acident and was called a liar and was forced to retire. My Sheriff a vietnam vet said he had seen guys with PTSD and I was no longer an aset to the the Sheriff Office. So after 23 years in the military with a very good record and a lifetime in law enforcement I was cast aside because I asked for some sleeping meds after loosing two friends.
