What do soldiers usually get after war?

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), sometimes known as shell shock or combat stress, occurs after you experience severe trauma or a life-threatening event. It’s normal for your mind and body to be in shock after such an event, but this normal response becomes PTSD when your nervous system gets “stuck.”

What do army people do when not at war?

Military operations other than war (MOOTW) focus on deterring war, resolving conflict, promoting peace, and supporting civil authorities in response to domestic crises. MOOTW also involves arms control and peacekeeping.

Why leaving the military is so hard?

That is the reason why leaving the military is so hard. It all stems from our biological and psychological need for belonging. At least in a military formation, service members know where they stand. Isolation leads to despair, and the consequences could be catastrophic.

What are the pros and cons of joining the Army?

You will learn a lot about your country, service, the world, and yourself if you join. You will also have the opportunity to serve and sacrifice to make your nation safer or to protect the rights that Americans have. While there are definitely unpleasant aspects of service, there are also a lot of good things about joining the Army.

What are some things that people don’t know about the military?

What people don’t know is that this can happen at any time and in any place, even stateside. Even if there is no ammunition or other threat around, a soldier can get seriously and permanently injured. After years of PT (physical training), a soldier may have problems with his knees and other joints.

Does the Army serve the soldier or the soldier?

One of the things I despise most is the idea that the army serves the soldier. The army doesn’t serve you, you serve your country by joining the army. Fortunately, there are very few people that believe this because Basic Combat Training (BCT) does an outstanding job of smoking that idea out of recruits’ heads.

Do you care what people think of you as a soldier?

Usually, I don’t care what people think. However, this kind of attitude usually leads to a sub-par performance. An irresponsible soldier might get out of shape, forget minute but important parts of certain procedures, not take inspections seriously, and so on.
