War veterans who present with symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder are an ongoing epidemic. There is no way of telling what will happen during combat or how individuals will respond to potentially traumatic events. Treating war veterans has been shown to be possible to varying degrees using a multitude of applied techniques. Some researchers have found possible similarities between veterans who develop symptoms of PTSD. This researched attempted to add training to that list of possible commonalities. This research examined the variable military occupational specialty, which had not been specifically studied in the past. Army and Marine Corps participants (n = 352) were categorized as combat arms or non-combat arms and assessed for symptoms of PTSD using the military version of the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist (Blanchard, Jones-Alexander, Buckley, & Forneris, 1996); a 17-item self-reporting Likert scale survey and compared using an ANOVA. Research question 1 asked if there were significant differences between the groups overall scores on the survey. Research question 2 asked if there were significant group differences on the subscales of the survey. Questions three and four asked if there were significant differences in scores between the groups overall when the variables rank and branch of service were accounted for, respectively. The results for all research questions suggested that there were no statistically significant differences between groups. It is suggested that future research utilize a larger sample size and geographical area. In addition, future research may want to consider also using participants not enrolled in college.
