After moving Dad into assisted living, things seemed to morph into logistics management more than health management. Dad’s stress levels went down living in a place with help – he didn’t have to worry about making food or taking care of a home and he was making new friends.

But here’s the thing.
Loud noises. Sudden changes of plans. Overstimulation. Restless sleep. These are only a small cause for post-traumatic triggers for a combat veteran, or any veteran for that matter. Because military jobs vary widely in both skill and types of tasks, there is no one-size-fits-all gig.

Sailors on a fast-attack submarine became the Navy’s first-ever crew to receive the service’s new Arctic Service Medal, a decoration created last year to recognize missions that travel over, below or that surface through ice-covered Arctic waters.
The crew of the USS Indiana, a Virginia-class attack sub, earned the medal for their participation last March in Operation Ice Camp, a multi-national event held off the coast of Alaska which, atypically among large-scale military exercises, is exactly what it sounds like.
