Major, if I can, I'd just like to thank you again from our neck of the woods for what you do. You've been deployed to Bosnia, the Golan Heights, and Afghanistan. You're due to come home, you said, or leave theatre in 10 days.
When you get back, there's a debriefing you go through, the time it takes to get back to a normal civilian life, if there is such a thing for a military family; then, if you are deployed again you have to go through training, so there's lots of time that you are away from home other than when you're actually deployed in theatre.
Can you comment on how much time a soldier like you, who goes through regular deployments, is away from his family?
