It was a huge stack of forms. It was completely overwhelming, for sure. I don't do paperwork well. As Jody was saying, we're infantry. We had people doing everything for us, and then to hand an infanteer a stack of forms and to tell us to get all of our ducks in a row and get them off or we won't get services, it was completely overwhelming for me. I definitely fell between the cracks.
I probably lost services I didn't even know about or wouldn't have heard about. I had to use myself. I was just getting released and I was trying to get fine. Just as Jody's been trying to walk, I was trying to find a life.
You just took my identity away, and I know what's coming, and now you hand me a stack of forms to fill out? I couldn't do it. It was overwhelming. Then you go and ask some of the people at JPSU, and there are so many people coming into play. These people are trying to help you, but they don't know what they're doing. You appoint people into JPSU, which is good, but many of them come from combat arms, like me, and aren't the best in doing some of the paperwork at all. The forms are not filled out right, things are missing, and we suffer.
