hi j and welcome to pc!  since you are a vet i believe you can use the VA for an assessment re ptsd.(my son is career military. that's why i know). he came home from iraq 3 times and suffered from ptsd every time.
we all respond to trauma differently but like capp said you may have stuffed it and it will eventually surface. glad you shared with us and posed the question. it may help some other vets here at pc to open up too. take care and yes, i'd follow up on this.
