I think in my experience there were two things. One was the battlemind program that was presented to us, and the chance we had to select a number of facilitated programs where we could discuss issues, whether it was command and leadership, or family relationships. It allowed us to go into a fairly benign environment and have access to some very qualified medical folks who could help us with some issues.
I found it therapeutic that I could just unwind, have a shower every day, eat some food, have a couple of beers, and socialize almost one last time with the team I had spent nine months with. But I have told the Surgeon General that I think we can make it better. We have great mental health folks there, but we don't necessarily have people there right now who can facilitate the discussions between soldiers and those mental health specialists. There are big groups, and sometimes we need people who are a little more gregarious to draw out the soldiers.
But it is a good program, and one that I know General Jaeger is looking to make better. The military side of the house, the chain of command, is looking to make it better, but even though I didn't go through nearly some of the challenges as soldiers in the PRT or the battle group, at the end of the day I found it useful.
