I have suffered with PTSD for 31 years since the Hillsborough disaster and I can tell you the level of help and support in the early days was none existent and 31 years later it is not much better. To think a person can stand up and put their life on the line by committing themselves to a life of protecting and serving their country only to be forgotten once their experiences render them with mental health problems is nothing short of an absolute disgrace. The tragic suicide figures are a stain on society, if the system cannot help ex military what chance has a civilian got? I have so much respect for this guy, thank you for sharing!

I was raised in a military family, my dad was a Royal Marine Commando with 42, I didn't see him much, my mum raised and disciplined us 3 kids as best as she could while he was off on his jolly's, fighting for his country, in my dads case it was the 1950's, the Suez crisis and unrest in Borneo, apart from the troubles in Northern Ireland there was no major wars anywhere, just a global recovery from WW2. My dad beat me once, he didn't drink, smoke or take drugs, he certainly never locked me in a cupboard like Colin had been, I had a OK childhood but never went into the services. always lived in the country and always had animals around. Set up the helpline with veterans talking to veterans, as well as perhaps a home visit, it's a great idea, we also need to find a way of curing addiction to anything. They do a lot of drinking in the services and you can also buy cheaper booze at the NAAFI, in Cyprus bottled water is more expensive. The Army is your family and when you leave it can be very traumatic for those unprepared, you are being outed away from your family and unless you have a family of your own you are not going to survive very well out in Civistreet. As Colin also said, a soldier can be sent back to a combat zone much quicker than a soldier from the 60's and 70's, like my dad. We have so much more conflict and war. Wars have entered the digital age, they have no more meaning, they aren't about defending queen and country, they are about land, corporations, oil, resources and now, since the lie about Saddam having weapons of mass destruction, the invasion of Iraq, the Twin Towers and the US siding with the Sunni Saudi's because of their oil...........religion.

Here in the Australian Army we seem to do more for those with PTSD than the Brits. We often have guys with PTSD still serving and manage their care. Veterans are well looked after once they leave. After deployments we have decompression. A period of time where we cannot go home to our families but we stay with our fellow soldiers, resting in a low tempo environment. Despite this I found it hard going back to my family and friends. There are moments when you miss the 24/7 of being surrounded by your mates all with the same purpose. It becomes hard to relate to civvies about things you have seen and done, especially when they moan about trivial things.

I spent almost 20 years in the RAF leaving at age 36. The RAF is nothing like the Green Army (accepting the RAF Regiment) yet alone the UKSF but some of the same issues as mentioned here are generic to all 3 services. The biggest battles are these. 1. Housing. Many give no thought about where they will live and make no provisions. The housing market in UK now is mental. 2 A second career and stability. I myself can not count the number of jobs I have had since leaving where many employees one works.with lack the professionalism and work ethic expected of you in the Armed Services. Furthermore, the repsonsilities and skills one has in the service are.simply.not appreciated in many aspects of the real world leaving many service vets underemployed. 3 Lack of education. Many join straight from school with little or no educational attainment. This is okay to get in the military but wil cause issues in the real world. 4 Money. Many people get used to regular and modest salary and spend it giving no thoughts of when those days end. 5 Lack of direction. Once you are out of the service, what you were and what you did mainly count for nothing. Even SF lads can also face this harsh fact. I would recommend to all.serving members, RAF, RN, BA,RM even UKSF to save money regularly, a third of your monthly salary if you can. Go to.college, plan for a.second career. Think about the fact that you will need a roof over your head when you do leave. Don't be a piss head. Always remember that the day wil come where you return from whence you came and it's fucking hard out there on more levels that you could imagine. Take care of yourselves and remember the 6 PS! I was Samaritans for 9 years and trained to be a counselor and had a big chunk of cash to put down for a house. My future did pan out as I hoped and I am sure many vets can say the same with many having very successful lives in the real world too. Garry H. RAF, 1987_2006, South Carolina, USA

The government owes these guys alot more. I understand we are learning as we go, having had almost two decades of full scale warfare. These guys are kicking doors in, day in day out for YEARS. That in itself is just unprecedented level of trauma to put someone through. Then they get out. And it's a handshake from their boss and the door shuts behind them. Suddenly the job they gave up their entire life to become a master of - is gone. The machine continues on as if everything they contributed was insignificant. And they have to deal with figuring out who they actually are. Because their entire life was given to their job. If they hadn't put everything they had into it, they would never have reached the level they did. The military has put the money and research into how to transform these guys into instruments of war. Now it needs to out some money and research into how to transform them back, or at the very least how to support them while they transform themselves. We all owe them way more than this.

Basically if you don’t want the possibility of ptsd don’t join the army. What other job leaves you in that state? They are advertising joining the army amongst young people in care figures.

De brief is ever present in military life, and should be the last step before civvie st. I got out in 84 after a two yr NI tour, and had no clue what to do, or how to behave, where to go etc

Yeah ive seen Ollie do a couple of interviews, he's a really cool and interesting fella. All the ex special forces guys are good to listen to, I think Ollie has been in the SAS and SBS, I'd never heard of anyone doing both before, he also nearly got killed by a circus chimp when he was a kid too.

I don’t agree that PTSD sufferers should speak to ‘like minded’ people. I worked with Victim Support and the victims of crime opened up to me by just listening and asking questions that got the victims to explain their problems.
