He shined a light and I was bleeding down there on my face. He's like, are you sure you hit your head? I'm like, yeah, I'm throwing up. He's like, hey, he goes, go to the medical tent right now. He goes, you only got six months left. Go to the medical tent right now. Went to the medical tent. Took me to the hospital, same doctor in the ER. Super cool.

Right back into the Warrior Transition Battalion the next day. They treated my concussion for about five months. And then they were like, hey, you seem fine. See you later. Go pick up your DD. I walked in still thinking I had treatment. I still had like a month left in my contract. And they were like, hey, you go pick up your DD-214 and take this leave. I was like, okay. That sounds great.

Am I okay? Am I good to leave? They're like, yeah, your doctor's cleared off all your paperwork. We have all your paperwork. I'm like, nobody ran that by me. Nobody told me I was cleared. No shit. I was like, let me see my paperwork. There it was. So they rushed you out. Rushed me right out. Pushed me right out the door. Went to a social support center.

Picked up my DD214 and I didn't do any out processing. Dude, I still have, I had like my helmet. I didn't do any out processing. Never got a letter for to bring it in, nothing. They rushed me right out. See you later. And man, that's why I do encourage people to, if you want to stay in this longer, try to get to those other units, man. because I feel like you might get better treatment.

Maybe it's different now. I mean, it's been, my God, it's been 12 years now. But to this day, I have no idea. I just know how I felt. I just know that I was put in this important timeline. I know that I was sent to a battalion that was made so people can go to their appointments because they're messed up. And then I was rushed right on out. And I had two months of leave build up. So I took it.

Damn. And still had memory issues. Couldn't remember anything. Couldn't remember I put my keys. Couldn't remember nothing. And so I had applied. So I got out early. So that was like February or like March, March timeframe. I was like, man, what am I going to do? So what am I going to do? Because I didn't get out medically. Don't have a degree, right? Didn't take that serious.

Shooting a piece of paper in a trash can didn't work for me. What am I going to do? I have a son and a wife. She works. She does hair, but she had to lose all of her clients when I deployed to move back home with my mom. So she's still trying to build her clientele up. She gave all of her clients away. for safety. And now she's trying to build all of them back up. It's hard.
