Thank you.
Ironically, my husband left the forces and then came back as a civilian, because in that three-year span he was looking for the camaraderie. Unfortunately, when he came back as a civilian, he came back under a master corporal he had butted heads and had confrontations with while he was serving. He found it more difficult coming back to that camaraderie because he was hitting a brick wall again.
A lot of these guys who get out will come back in as civilians. They're looking for that team, looking for that camaraderie. With these peer support groups, they're now able to get that camaraderie.
My husband right now, after his experience of trying to go back as a civilian, says he's done. He doesn't want to have anything to do with OSISS or anything to do with peer supports. He just doesn't. He volunteers me up to do stuff. I'm like, “Fine, I'll volunteer to do stuff as long as I know that you won't break down if I volunteer to do stuff”, because it's difficult to bring him back if he breaks down.
