Expanded categories, more access to records (though, due to Spouse's MOS, he always knew exactly where he was and where anything interesting going on was.).

For now, actually, we do want to let the VA catch up and do the necessary triage. Spouse knows he's a green tag right now, physically and psychologically. But I'll check our local VA network to see if they have a drop-in group.

I think mostly he's feeling abandoned and forgotten and frustrated because he and a lot of others spent 3-4 tours in country/region, too, and their work actually did keep the peace (until Shrub broke it.). Which is why I'm more interested in support/peer network right now.
