TAMPA, Fla. — A former sailor who left the Navy in 2011 and claimed he had post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to the Department of Veterans Affairs soon after says he's been having terrifying nightmares of not receiving his disability check, sources tell Duffel Blog.
Now majoring in Liberal Arts at the University of South Florida with dreams of becoming a non-contributing zero, Ryan Wankston told reporters his recent nightmares have been keeping him awake at night, as he's often woken up to his own screams in a cold sweat.
"Oh God! We haven't been resupplied yet, we're going to die out here," his girlfriend recounted him saying in a nightmare shortly before he woke up. "Did the VA make the payment yet? What if it doesn't come through?"
