Only ever had dealings with the Green Beret Foundation; when I was medically retired at 18 years of Service back in 2004 I did my out processing in Germany. 100% retired and I was given 3 Days, Three Measly Motherfooking Days to out process.

It was the Standard back then for wounded service members getting out.

Day one I was treated like pure crap by some German working at the ACAP Office, by lunch time the MP's had arrived.

Day Two; went to a VA office where everyone was German, they tried to assist me in stating things in my VA Claim that would have not been true. Yes the MP's showed up again. By dinner time my old Team Leader got i contact with me and said he heard all the BS I was going through and that someone would be coming by to help and he would make some calls on the Army side as well. He did that from Down Range.

Day Three; my orders where extended, the pieceofshit American running the ACAP Office told me in person that he was sorry I as treated the way I was but his staff is used to not dealing with Special Forces and more dealing with support soldiers who are just taking up a slot during a war and the wounded troops needed to be pushed out. Like that would matter. But by lunch he was fired because the Rep that showed up from Green Beret Foundation out of Belgium on short notice was with me for the process, he was a retired O-6 with a Long Tab who had been hearing about this crap.

I did not ask for help at all from them but they where there for me. I was more than happy with just going to jail for kicking the crap out of ****** foreigners collecting a check from my country. Guess an active duty E-8 making the blotter report two days in a row tends to gain some attention though.

I still beat the crap out of every last one of those people who where screwing wounded troops over; naturally before I joined Interpol.

Months later one of my old Team mates called me from Texas; he had gotten out and had told me about Green Beret Foundation, turns out they helped him too. I asked around they had helped lots of Operators all over the world, did not care how far they needed to travel, they would get to you, even if you did not ask for help.

Since then I got to return the assistance a few times my self. Feels good to get the help, especially if your Team is down range when your getting out. Feels good to have a fellow Operator standing there with you to side line all the BS that comes from the DA Civilians who never served America or who are not even Americans but feel they can speak down to you. You still want to bleed them out in the restroom though. LOL
