Two Air Force Veterans Help Each Other Heal and Live an Intentional Life
Ret USAF Col Chris R Stricklin, Warriors Heart Foundation – Honorary Board of Advisors Member
Stars and Stripes (Oct 19, 2018) – Chris Stricklin quoted and Warriors Heart Foundation mention Assassins threaten multibillion-dollar US efforts to keep Afghan airmen flying
The U.S. is attempting to build an Afghan air force that doesn’t need foreign help, but it is difficult to do in the middle of a war, said retired Air Force Col. Chris Stricklin, former commander of Train Advise Assist Command-Air.
“The mission is not just to train pilots, it is to develop a sustainable and effective air force,” said
Stricklin, who was commander during the first Afghan-led C-130 flight.
One “choke point” is a lack of language proficiency, said Stricklin, a board member of the nonprofit Operation Warriors Heart Foundation. Technical manuals require English literacy, and a new plan to consolidate English language training has been hobbled by poor security at AAF training facilities, according to a June Pentagon report on security and stability in Afghanistan.

What Causes PTSD? Here’s What Happens to the Brain After Trauma
Republished/Syndicated here: Yahoo LifeStyle
“In addition, the PTSD causes we are all familiar with include military combat, terrorist attacks and violent personal assaults such as sexual assault, mugging, or robbery,” says Vonnie Nealon, clinical director of Warriors Heart, an accredited treatment program for military, veterans and first responders, in Bandera, Texas.
While PTSD often manifests as a reliving of a traumatic event through nightmares and flashbacks, some people are affected more than others. “Some individuals may experience feelings of isolation, irritability, and guilt, and have difficulty sleeping and concentrating,” Nealon says.

Myth: PTSD affects only people in the military.
Many people link PTSD to the aftermath of soldiers being in war. In reality, the mental health condition can stem from any distressing event, including natural disasters, serious road accidents, terrorist attacks, sexual assault and mass shootings, explained Vonnie Nealon, the clinical director at Warriors Heart, a PTSD and addiction treatment center in Bandera, Texas, for military veterans and first responders. PTSD can also occur after a serious or life-threatening health issue.

Two Air Force Veterans Help Each Other Heal and Live an Intentional Life
Ret USAF Col Chris R Stricklin, Warriors Heart Foundation – Honorary Board of Advisors Member
Stars and Stripes (Oct 19, 2018) – Chris Stricklin quoted and Warriors Heart Foundation mention Assassins threaten multibillion-dollar US efforts to keep Afghan airmen flying
The U.S. is attempting to build an Afghan air force that doesn’t need foreign help, but it is difficult to do in the middle of a war, said retired Air Force Col. Chris Stricklin, former commander of Train Advise Assist Command-Air.
“The mission is not just to train pilots, it is to develop a sustainable and effective air force,” said
Stricklin, who was commander during the first Afghan-led C-130 flight.
One “choke point” is a lack of language proficiency, said Stricklin, a board member of the nonprofit Operation Warriors Heart Foundation. Technical manuals require English literacy, and a new plan to consolidate English language training has been hobbled by poor security at AAF training facilities, according to a June Pentagon report on security and stability in Afghanistan.

What Causes PTSD? Here’s What Happens to the Brain After Trauma
Republished/Syndicated here: Yahoo LifeStyle
“In addition, the PTSD causes we are all familiar with include military combat, terrorist attacks and violent personal assaults such as sexual assault, mugging, or robbery,” says Vonnie Nealon, clinical director of Warriors Heart, an accredited treatment program for military, veterans and first responders, in Bandera, Texas.
While PTSD often manifests as a reliving of a traumatic event through nightmares and flashbacks, some people are affected more than others. “Some individuals may experience feelings of isolation, irritability, and guilt, and have difficulty sleeping and concentrating,” Nealon says.

Myth: PTSD affects only people in the military.
Many people link PTSD to the aftermath of soldiers being in war. In reality, the mental health condition can stem from any distressing event, including natural disasters, serious road accidents, terrorist attacks, sexual assault and mass shootings, explained Vonnie Nealon, the clinical director at Warriors Heart, a PTSD and addiction treatment center in Bandera, Texas, for military veterans and first responders. PTSD can also occur after a serious or life-threatening health issue.
