Welcome Back, Sergeant B – Good job! Just a heads up – It isn’t till about a year back that you really start dealing with readjustment. At the 6 month point you’ll probably be wondering about volunteering for another one (About a quarter of my unit volunteered for the next infantry deployment after we got back.) Just relax and enjoy… You’ll get through it.

Welcome home. It takes time to adjust back to “normal”. When we outprocessed…the only thing that made sense was a doc told us:
“When you come home, you’ll be a Hero until you yell at your wife or girlfriend, then you’ll be an asshole. Keep it cool, be calm, and keep being a hero.”

Normal “citizens” are going to ask you a lot of dumb questions and say a lot of dumb things. Don’t get mad at them…educate them.
Good luck.
