PTSD in SOF Personnel

Thursday, February 28th, 2013

This is a guest post by Jud Kauffman of ExBellum.com and I think it’s a pretty important topic. Jud served in the U.S. Navy for 8 years, first as an intelligence analyst and later as a Navy SEAL deploying multiple times throughout the Middle East on hundreds of combat missions. He later served as the National Program Manager for the Naval Special Operations Mentor Program, selecting and mentoring potential civilian SEAL, EOD, SWCC, and Diver candidates. He helped cofound The Great American Mud Run and Talosorion Security. In 2012, he founded ExBellum.com, a website aimed at connecting Special Operations veterans with civilian employers.

The first is a medical insert that transforms a standard double 30rd mag pouch into an IFAK. The insert offers a smooth design that easily conforms to a mag pouch and the 3′ of bungee allow you to set the insert up for easy access to your medical items by routing it through the grid.
