Default Where do you go, when theres no place to go? - 01-08-2009, 12:19 PM

I am a combat veteran from the US Marine Corps. I guess to say the least I am clinically depressed. I am service connected for an undiagnosed illness. They call it the persian gulf syndrome or the gulf war syndrome. I get the runaround from the VA. I draw 225.00 a month is all, and I havent worked in over six months. I went to vocational rehab, that went well but I cant use the GI Bill I paid into with voc rehab. I have been taking online classes for several weeks now my counseler says the VA will not pay for it. Now they will let me take welding clases and accounting, this guy picks and chooses what I should do. Is this right? I give the Marines 110% now where are they? I'm in danger of losing everything I own. Why should my three kids endure this? Where do we go? Ive written congressmen and women, senators, nothing. Anyone been through this

With all due respect, there is no such thing as Gulf War syndrome or whatever other names has been afforded to that supposed condition. You say you are experiencing clinical depression, that is what you have and as such - it is a very treatable and manageable condition.Instead of doing the whole school thing, use your servicetime to your advantage. I think many employers would be hard pressed to refuse employment to a former U.S. Marine. Through going to work everyday and getting some new stimulus in your life this could not only alleviate financial issues it could also very well help you with your depression.Hope this helps.
