I was not educated about anything available to me when I was released from the Canadian Forces, and that's what's still happening today.
We have a number of military members who have been injured who are working directly with us, and they provide my 24-hour, 7-day-a-week family information referral services. These guys are with me for a year or two until they get their medical release. I'm talking to them every day, and they say that when they're being released, they feel like the proverbial arm in a bucket of water: when they pull it out, there's no hole there and they feel as if they've been totally abandoned. Half the time, they're not educated about anything that's available to them, especially through VA. It's a case of, sign here, sign here, sign here, then bye-bye.
There needs to be some kind of a transition; there needs to be some kind of an education, and it needs to be inclusive of that family.
