I’ve had the same problem with my last two deployments at sea and now with my first land-based one in Iraq (I’m on R&R right now). Everything stateside just seems so trivial and it becomes very frustrating. I’ve found that blogging has been a good remedy to cure this angst. This is a much more constructive mechanism to coping than what I did after my last two deployments: getting drunk. Thanks Jim!
