Hey everyone! Wake up! We have overhauled AGAIN! (not really just abbreviated the name and added the new moniker.

PASP - Combat PTSD HQ; Coalition of Combat PTSD Bloggers - We've got it covered.

When I say I personally built this roof, thats exactly what I mean. 12 years ago (not supposed to start off a sentence with a number, lol I'm such a rebel) I was a sheet metal apprentice, two years in when I laid down soldering joints on this roof that will last 100 years. Unfortunately I was also still in my Combat PTSD madness and lost this job just after receiving a raise to $18, two years later I would have been making $28 an hour.

Today I want to share something with you that I have never shared outside of my immediate circle. Of many things my father was, he was inventive and ahead of his time. He started raising a family working at GE and washing dishes at Pizza Hut. Within a year he was manager of the store and the training manager for all of Greater Louisville. He open the first Pizza Huts in New York and Georgia and after working like this for 5 or 6 years he earned enough money to open his own Pizza Hut in St. George Utah where I spent most of my youth (whole other story...whew).

My father instilled an incredible work ethic that I posses, or which possesses me. We both have build red roofs and the contrasts lie embedded a striking a truth I feel and further validates as I contemplate my next project. He taught me how to train, organize, and work efficiently, over the years I have honed many of these skills and have acquired new ones. Along the way I have written safety and procedure training programs and manuals and instituting the projects in sheet metal manufacturing.

Now, what in the hell does all this have to do with the price of bullets or bombs? I intend on doing the same here at PASP, this website has become a Combat PTSD Repository and now a tool for the Combat PTSD Home to help navigate the battlefield the Combat Vet Will bring home. I have started writing two books; one my war story and second, a book for the Combat PTSD Home.

Rise of a Roman General, for my story. Roman General was the name I wrote under for two years before I started using my own name. You will still find many comments I have made on the internet under that name. Roman culture and military history have been an interest of mine.

Combat PTSD Home Manual or Combat PTSD Home Handbook

What do you think? If you have a better idea of what I should name either book give your suggestion in the comment section and if I use it I will put your name in the book!
