You've been through combat. Good! You have experiences that will serve you well later. If you're finding it hard to exercise, find someone, preferably a combat veteran, to exercise with. It doesn't have to be much, but make it your mutual hobby. Your brain can get "rewired" through trauma, physical, psychological, or both. The trick is to break out of the behavior cycle that you're in right now. Small steps, IMO, are the key.
Instead of looking at the 300 meter target (SFAS), look at the 5 or 10. Keep your goals simple and build slowly. As was said before, all of this fades, but you can help it along. If you keep on trying, you will be stronger mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually than when you started. Realizing that you have some things to overcome is a great first step.
You have my respect for your service. Thank you for putting yourself in danger for the rest of us. Never quit. Stay with it Brother!
