I would like to throw this out to all the members on this site, to give feed back and open discussion of the subject.
I think that we all can relate to this subject in one way or another. I have been involved with Combat stress, raising money, doing charity work. I my self had a few problems after a violent tour of NI in the late 80's. I am one of the lucky one that managed to sort it out before it sorted me out. Over last 18 years i have been able to assist guys in the industry deal with some of the problems that blight professional security contractors who are demonstrating symptons while on leave or RnR. this is the time away from the preasures of the job that keeps it in check and controlled. But there is a real need in the industry for colleagues and friend to keep there eye on people who my need help.

This is a very Taboo subject in the industry and services still. But with more and more violent incidents we are subject to, we need to open up to each other with our thoughts and experiences of this problem.
