For the first time, the U.S. military is speaking publicly about what it's doing to address potential health risks to troops who operate certain powerful shoulder-mounted weapons.

I'm glad to see that the military is now taking TBI more seriously. I'm fairly certain I received one in Augusta(Gordon) in the mid 80's. The only evidence was a scan of some kind in the 90's @VA in Nashville, results "inconclusive, but hey, your brain is smaller than it should be". My son got one in San Antonio in the early 2K's, and is now 100% DV. It just might be time to bring it up again when I see my head Dr. at the end of the month.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel
SGT (Join to see) Smacked My Head on a Lot of Valve Wheels on USS California CGN-36 and USS Arkansas CGN-41 but not too bad. Probably the Worst Brain Rattlers were Walking into the Door Frame Outside Medical (Yeah 1/2 Inch Steel doesn't Give, Saw Birds and Stars, Pretty Sure I got a Concussion on that one and Walking into the side Blast of the 5 inch 54, I'm Pretty Sure that wasn't good for the Old Noggen Either)
