I know there's a lot of people

that had a lot more significant experiences than me

and there was a lot more

that had a lot more traumatic experiences than me,

but I guess what I'm trying to tell people is,

it doesn't take a whole lot to really, I mean especially

if it's your first, I mean this was my first deployment

so I'd never experienced anything like it before.

So next time I deploy maybe it won't bother me as much

but to go from, I joined right out of high school,

so I went from high school to the work force to deploying,

so I don't really have any traumatic experiences

to compare to except for that.
