I personally suffer from PTSD and major depression. I take my medication every morning. That's not necessarily the case anymore. That's what OSISS—the program we talked about earlier—does. We are really pushing the system to make sure the people who have received that diagnosis are not rejected right away. That is changing significantly. More and more soldiers are being retained. That's a fact. Is everyone being retained? No, they are not. I'm not better than anyone else, but I am still able to serve. I sometimes have bad days and sometimes things do not go well, but that's not the general rule. I believe it's just like any other medical condition. This has changed over the past 10 years. Would I like to be able to retain more soldiers? Yes, I would, but I am not going to tell you that they are all rejected. That is no longer the case.
