I decided to get back on the forum after nearly three years absent. I had some health issues that took all my time and energy. It effected my social networking, so I felt it best to "drop out" for a bit until I felt better. PTSD is real folks, it also accumulates over time. 37 years of police work as well as time spent on a SE Asian vacation, (all expenses paid BTW) a long time ago, can really pile up. Long term issues, until now unknown, are effecting my generation. Undiagnosed and untreated, the VN vets are actually setting the stage for what will eventually be beneficial for all vets. I certainly hop what I am experiencing will be a benefit to all. I have been building quite a bit during that time. I just haven't posted much online. You could say I did it for myself as a way of healing. So, to sum up, still here and kicking, still living large in Las Vegas with my wonderful wife Mary and still packing a badge and gun. G

Believe me it is always good hearing from you! We go a long way... old hey days at FSM! Believe it or not my 17 years old son wants to be in law enforcement and I have couple of family members who are in too. You really have my respect for many years of dedication to keep the law and order here especially Las Vegas. I bet you have plenty of interesting stories to share...

Welcome back, brother. I too have been in LE for about 28 years now and I can understand your situation. Although I never spent time in the military or in SE Asia, I have been in some hairy near death incidents and through it all modeling has been there to de-stress me. That is the great thing about hobbies, they prevent idleness which is the "devil's work." Keep building.

Hey G, glad you're back buddy! Taking care of our Vets should always be number 1. Holding that thin blue line ain't easy either, so you took on more than most, thx for your service Amigo, greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Ski.
