Description
Mr. Reist shares his opinion on mixed feelings about coming home after a deployment.
Transcription
There’s always, whatever, if you are on tour or you go on course, there’s always hard times but it just seems that you pack those back and you always remember the good times. You kind of look at it, this is like a professional hockey player or sports athlete, you know, the tours are the end game. That’s what you trained for are the deployments. Like I said before once you get that little nibble at the end of that hook, it’s hard not to go back, it’s really hard. It’s actually easier to go back than it is to be in Canada after a while. It starts feeling normal where when you come home it doesn’t feel normal anymore. You just go there, you rely on your section, you rely on your platoon and it’s your job and it turns into your life. And then when you come home, everything is the same as you left it but it just feels different.
