You asked what they say when I meet with them.
For serving members today, some of them are aware that down the road, when they get out, there are benefits for veterans. They are very well aware of the disability claim, because it goes around the barrack rooms: “Have you put in your claim yet?” They know that.
Do they actively think about what will happen to them when they release? I did not consider the fact that I was releasing until the night before. That is when it struck me. I believe that the majority of our serving members and the RCMP are so focused on their jobs, on doing the mission for Canada and on their service that they're not thinking about that. They just trust that it'll be there when they get there.
