Misconceptions of the Warrior Transition Battalion at Fort Carson, Colorado

I'm a 49-year-old recent medical retiree after 23 years of service in the Warrior Transition Battalion at Fort Carson and would like to address some of the misconceptions and how I was treated at the warrior transition Battalion of Fort Carson.
Number one, the staff there, and I'm talking about both the military and the civilian force in the company units with the exception of a few nurse case managers, are very professional and care very much for the troops that are there for help. The Soldier Family Care Center is run by professional civilians that try their best every day to accommodate the wounded soldiers. They have some of the best trips possible. They help out with everything from Social Security, resumes, to the AW 2 program, job hunting, computer technology, counseling, you name it, they can help. They have some of the blessed people I have ever met.
My company Alpha company with some of the blessed people I have ever had a chance to meet. My first sergeant, commander, platoon sergeant, and most of all my squad leader had nothing but the best interest of me.
At the battalion level, I think they did an awesome job at taking care soldiers. I don't know is legal or not for me to hand out names, so I won't. I'll just say the battalion commander was always looking for different things to help soldiers improving quality of life and for things to do in both recreation, education, and reintroduction into either military or civilian life. And he was right and I believe this. You the wounded soldier must meet the battalion and the Army halfway and they will meet you halfway. What that means is, the wounded soldier just can't go there and think right after PT take off for the day and say screw your appointments i.e. doing nothing except go back to the barracks and play Xbox. It doesn't work like that. You have to make your appointments, go to school like I did, or go to your internships. By the way, the internships are really cool. They have everything from working with the fish and wildlife, US for street, Department of wildlife, US immigration, you name it they got it.
Number 2. This is where they need improvement.
This is above battalion level in my opinion at the hospital that supports the Wounded Transition Battalion. I would say the majority of your doctors there, and I'm talking mostly civilian have no interest in helping the soldiers. There's only one there that I know that had the interest of the soldiers. The other ones were only interested in status quo per se, or the government's interest. I went there in July 2013 for the anxiety disorder and my cervical spine which was fused on C3, 4, 5, 6. I could barely walk, and still to this day poor balance. Still to this day I need braces and a cane to get around. I have severe pain and there is nothing that helps me at all when storm systems are low pressures coming to Colorado.
What doctor there, along with a physical therapist assistant misdiagnose me and took a P3 profile and had it changed to a P2 profile. Thank God I found another physical therapist who did test on me who said these 2 were BS'ing and did whatever he had to do and called whoever he had to call and had it sent back up to a 3 or 4 I can't remember sorry. A neurologist in the hospital even said there was nothing wrong with my neck even though I could barely walk. Now that I'm out, I'm facing 4 surgeries maybe 5 now that was diagnosed by civilian doctors and the VA. If you don't believe me I will come on Fort Carson and I will show you all my paperwork. The coffee is on you.
I'm just an old school NCO who loves the Army, love soldiers. I'm asking for the senior leadership to please take care soldiers here. Soldiers when they show up for medical help should not have to prove they are sick or hurt. When I show up to a civilian doctor here in the civilian world I don't have to prove to them that I am hurt. They immediately try to figure out what the problem is and start working on it. At the WTB you show up there it's immediately why are you here? And they are very skeptical of you. I tell you right now, this is where the anxiety sets in the most soldiers. They want to get healed they should not have to prove there's something wrong. Senior leadership, you need to check the resumes and where these civilian doctors came from. I can drop names but you have one Dr. who's a primary care physician who came from the VA in Colorado Springs who is not well recommended at the VA who used to work there. Soldiers deserve the best quality care.
The Warrior Transition Battalion is one of the best battalions I have ever been in. If they fixed some of the problems this would be a 2nd to none Battalion. And like I said, soldiers have to meet the battalion halfway. But the hospital also has to fix some of the problems. Anyway I love y'all peace out
