MAJ Rene De La Rosa
The reality of being deployed downrange is that you will come back changed, no matter the circumstances. I used to complain about the Texas heat, and after I came back my wife noticed that I commented that it was a little warm outside, but not hot. After being in a place where sweat goes down your gluteal cleft in the shade, it changes your thinking and perspective. A second point would be if you came back with all of your limbs and fingers and toes intact. When I went back to visit my nursing school, one instructor evaluated me on just that. It is the little things that make the rest of your life seem so much better.
