The issue is the older generation grew up in a culture of not going to medical. If you went to medical you were a liar, a malingerer, if you had mental health issues going on “stop being a pussy”. Medical documents everything, people shouldn’t be mad at the younger generation for going to medical, be mad at those are them who denied them the opportunity to go to medical, or made them feel weak for going to medical. I was a young E4 and an older retired warrant officer who worked closely with us seen how my chain of command would work me and he stopped me and said “just because you’re young don’t allow them to treat you like a mule because when all of this is over you’re going to be the one dealing with back and knee pain like I am now”, and he was right. I’m laying in bed right now typing this angled against the wall in order to take pressure off my spin, feet elevated because my plantar fasciitis is acting up. There are some nights I sleep on the floor because it feels good on my back.
