Summary
Reintegration can be a difficult process for Service members, including lots of different changes and adjustments. The experience of readjustment to civilian life after military deployment was examined among 31 OEF/OIF Veterans via semi-structured interviews. Participants articulated tensions between military and civilian cultures and their associated identities during reintegration.
