Don't suppose anyone saw this talk live? Paraphrase from the article, but Mattis thinks that the exhalation of victim status is not helping our people. He strongly encourages those who have seen combat to not let anyone label them broken, but to leverage the PTS as an opportunity for post traumatic growth.
I think the least they could do is have a system that takes your number to call you back when there's a wait, because "5 minutes" is always 50+ minutes. It would save a lot of people having to wait on hold for indeterminate amounts of time.
You can always check reqs on the etca website. But otherwise, as alluded to above, there's going to be some waiting involved, and then figuring your TDYs out through sq/base training shops. The pipeline isn't exactly quick or smooth, so stay calm.
Speaking of publicizing names and addresses: Islamic State threatens specific military personnel
Some dude sifting through hundreds of PA articles, no doubt, and some PA units are more sensitive to OPSEC than others, apparently.
I'd love to make a "don't talk to the media joke," but this seems serious.
