I'd say more than "a bit". Good luck in finding your Zen and happy place. As far as dealing with "civilians", we are going to be getting more of them in greater capacity as supporting roles, so you really need to up your game in dealing with them. Basically, if your MOS does not entail carrying a weapon, that job may go to a civilian (hopefully a veteran, at the very least).The VA has a great program for our brethren who have trouble adjusting. Wish you the best in your career.
