Never stop at red lights or drive slowly when you’re in a war zone. If another vehicle gets too close, ram it.
“It’s one of the survival skills over there,” Army Chaplain Bill Cardin said.
Returning soldiers have to relearn civilian driving along with everything else — especially relationships, Cardin said.
Sunday at the Kelso Red Lion, Cardin and other counselors held reintegration counseling seminars for members of Bravo Battery, based out of the Longview National Guard Armory, which returned from its second tour of Iraq in August.
Cardin said the Army started the seminars after realizing “that deployments have some impact on soldiers and families,” he said. “The program got started because we were seeing too many failures.”
