How do veterans fit in on "Civvy Street" after years of service? How do they cope with "normal life"? 
In this podcast, I and other ex-servicemen discuss the challenges of adjusting to civilian life, our attraction to motorcycles, adventure and the search for what replaces that massive void after leaving military service.
