Comradery When Out of the Military

I’ve been out of the military since 1995. I have never had a job since then, and I don’t think there’s any careers out there, except for maybe the police perhaps, maybe the fire fighters, that you develop that sense of comradery with your buddies. You get to know these guys inside and out, you know about where they grew up, you get to know what they like for food, you get to know about their kids, you get to know about their wives, you get to learn all that stuff. That builds that comradery. They’re just not Bob or Dave or John, they’re, “hey I know, you’re Peggy’s wife, or Peggy’s husband Bob and little Bobby Sue.”, and you know. So you get to know them as people as well as just as a buddy. And it’s a combination of that plus the humour, I think the humour is big and I don’t think we look at that enough. The humour, you have to have it, you have to have it, because if not you take all this in, you build it all up and it just boils inside you.
