Much of the criticism aimed at the VA is also pointed at the military. Soldiers have complained that the military places a stigma on those who request treatment for PTSD and other psychological disorders during active service, and thus early treatment is often delayed until the soldier returns home. PTSD has become problematic in light of extended duties and few opportunities to avoid the battle zones. In addition, with more females in the military the incidence of sexual assault has grown placing a new challenge on the VA to provide support and counseling.

The Ousley Family Veterans Service Center strives to provide a support network to facilitate the transition of veterans, military service members and dependents to Columbia College. The center also strives to understand and address their unique student support needs while attending Columbia College.
