just my opinion but as long as a soldier is in a combat area there is increased risk for them. i hope all will go well and he'll be safe. -an army mom

I don't mean to scare you, but even medics can have PTSD. I'm one of them. The company commander should, if (s)he does their job by the book, order a test for any soldier whose family has alerted them to the possiblity of PTSD. My heart goes out to you and your soldier.
