Spiritual Minded Military Texas Army National Guard: Why Do So Many Fort Hood Veterans Struggle After Service—The Cavalry Recovery Protocol

 

Fort Hood is not a small base. It is a 340 square mile city, 214,000 acres. At any one time, there were 40,000 soldiers. The 1st Cavalry Division. III Armored Corps. They call it The Great Place.

Also breaking, veterans can be found in Fort Hood.

You are familiar with the tales. You have read the headlines. You have heard the figures. Fort Hood has been examined on its failure in leadership, on its cluster of suicides, and on its culture of burning through soldiers and leaving the burnt ones to the rest of the world.

The question that you put to yourself is not the question of the statistics. The question is subjective. Why then, why do I struggle? Why then does Fort Hood still have its claws in me? How come that the mission was terminated and the damage was not?

You are not broken, as you were weak. You are having a hard time because Fort Hood has broken you and no one has assigned you a recovery plan.

"If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away." — 2 Corinthians 5:17

THE CAVALRY MINDSET

The 1st Cavalry Division does not retreat. The cavalry charges onwards. The line is held by the cavalry. The cavalry never shows weakness.

Such an attitude allowed you to survive on deployment. That is the attitude that is murdering you at home.

At Fort Hood, you learned to persevere in the face of pain. You were taught not to pay attention to exhaustion. You were taught to put fear to rest. You were taught that requesting assistance is being a failure.

The enemy swiped your cavalry mentality and used it against you. He plays upon your pride as a prison. He takes advantage of your hardness. He employs your not wanting to seek assistance as his main armor.

The cavalry mentality was made to fight. The cavalry's thinking was not geared towards going home.

WHY FORT HOOD BREAKS SOLDIERS

Fort Hood is a fast-paced base. Deployments every 12-18 months. Train-ups in between. The OPTEMPO is insatiable. The OPTEMPO is aimed at creating combat-ready soldiers. The OPTEMPO does not aim at giving birth to healthy veterans.

This is what Fort Hood has stolen out of you.

  • Your sleep. Night missions. Early formations. Constant alert. Your body had forgotten how to sleep. The debt of sleep piles. You are unable to sleep through the night even years later.
  • Your nervous system. Months at a time your body was in fight-or-flight. The switch to the off position broke. You are home. Your nervous system is still at Fort Hood.
  • Your identity. You served in the 1st Cavalry Division. Now you are a civilian. The patch is in a box. The mission has been lost. The void is loud.
  • Your body. The rucks. The runs. The heat. The injuries. Your body was stretched to the extremes. The damage is real. The injury is compound.

The enemy is making you use each of these against him. The Cavalry Recovery Protocol considers the concerns of all people.

"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." — Psalm 34:18

THE CAVALRY RECOVERY PROTOCOL

The cavalry gains upon them. The cavalry cannot flee. But the cavalry must refit, too. The cavalry must, too, be resupplied. Even the cavalry must take rest.

Your refit is the Cavalry Recovery Protocol.

Step One: Accept the Battle Damage

You can never correct anything that you fail to recognize. Fort Hood turned things round. Your sleep. Your trust. Your nervous system. Your identity. Name the damage. Write it down. My sleep is broken. My trust is broken. I am not broken. The damage is real. I am still here.

Step Two: Restock Your Body

Your body was stretched to the extreme. The bottle is not refilled. The sabotage is the bottle. The actual resupply is Cellular Hydrate Electrolyte Formula. A scoop of 16 ounces of water. Electrolytes restore what the Texas heat and the Fort Hood pace stole out of you.

Step Three: Fill Your Brain

Stress, alcohol, and sleep deprivation inflamed your brain. Clean energy is the Spiritual Minded Mushroom Coffee Blend. One cup in the morning. Lion's mane mends neural pathways. Chaga reduces inflammation. Cordyceps generates energy without the crash.

Fourth Step: Cleanse Your Identity

Your patch is in a box. Your mission is lost. A new uniform is required for your identity. That uniform is your Spiritual Minded Military shirt. You are still a cavalry soldier. The mission has changed. The dress has been altered. The allegiance has not.

Step Five: Discover your cavalry formation

The 1st Cavalry Division is currently located all over Texas. In Fort Worth. In Houston. In Dallas. In San Antonio. In Austin. The in-between small towns. You are not the sole ailing veteran. It is not only you that requires a formation.

Locate an additional Fort Hood veteran. Text them. Call them. Meet them. Say the words, "I was at Fort Hood; I am struggling; you are not alone; I am not alone."

The Cavalry Recovery Protocol does not request you to forget Fort Hood. The Cavalry Recovery Protocol requests you to recover Fort Hood.

THE TEXAS FACTOR

Texas is big. The separation between Fort Hood veterans is in hours, rather than minutes. The enemy uses the Texas highway system as his ally.

The 1st Cavalry Division is omnipresent and omnipresent. You cannot find your battle buddy on I-35. In a truck stop you cannot create a formation.

The Cavalry Recovery Protocol does not require geography. The Cavalry Recovery Protocol requires one text. One call. One meeting at a coffee shop in Waco, in Killeen, in Austin, and in Dallas.

Texas is not the problem. Isolation is the problem. The protocol breaks isolation.

THE ENEMY'S FORT HOOD LIES

The enemy knows Fort Hood. He has been lying to Fort Hood veterans for years.

"You are the only one struggling."

Every Fort Hood veteran is struggling. Some are better at hiding it. The headlines about Fort Hood's problems are not about other people. They are about you and your battle buddies. You are not alone.

"The Army did not care about you."

The institution failed. But your battle buddy cared. Your squad leader cared. The soldier to your left and right cared. The enemy wants you to project institutional failure onto individual relationships.

"You will never get better."

The enemy wants you to believe that the damage is permanent. It is not. Your body can heal. Your brain can heal. Your trust can be rebuilt. The Cavalry Recovery Protocol is the evidence.
