I think the dynamic is exactly the same. I think post-traumatic stress syndrome affects every person the same way. I think the difference is the environment in which the person finds himself. A regular force member is often living within the base in his community and is much closer to the community, with large numbers of people around him who are thoroughly socialized to PTSD and will recognize those issues earlier than perhaps a reservist living in a town, working in a factory, where he's not near his fellow soldiers. So the issue for us is re-engaging the families and providing support to the families so the signs are recognized.
That's the basic difference between the two. I think they equally suffer in terms of the effects. I mean, traumatic experience is traumatic experience, no matter whether you're a reservist or a regular force soldier. The socialization and the pre-deployment training is exactly the same. They are as prepared as regular soldiers when they go into operations. The training they are now undertaking in terms of the mental preparation for the shock of battle, or the impact that traumatic experience will have on them, has gone a long way to improving the socialization of the concept. I think the issue of it being a stigma is leaving incredibly quickly, and I think that's coming from an honest care for our soldiers.
I think the only difference would be where the soldier happens to be when he does suffer some of the symptoms. He may not be in a place where people recognize it as quickly.
