Yes, I read one of Dr. Grohol's articles and it really was helpful.

What service were you in? I served in the Air Force for a bit more than 6 years. While I really enjoyed it, serving has a tendency to make us feel less connected when we get out. That is because we leave our hometowns when we join then when we get out, many of us end up somewhere else but no longer enjoy the camaraderie that we once had with others that served.
