That was a really good deployment. Wasn't without its challenges and it wasn't without its personal challenges. I had a long-term girlfriend that I'd met in Cairns and then we were together in Townsville, and then we moved to Perth. And then when I got this deployment, she stayed in Perth and I went to Brisbane before the deployment.
And then when we flew back into Brisbane, she met me at the airport, and we went back to a hotel where we're staying and then she said, "Okay, well, it's done". And so that was a really difficult process, not a unique one of your partner, especially, you know, I was 26 she was 24.
Her life had kind of moved in a different direction by that stage and then she had seen, "Okay, well, I stay with him, we'd move again, and then we move again". So that was a difficult process and that's, as I said that's not unrepresentative of the challenges of deployment and moving but yeah, that had a hard impact on me for a little while, that break down.
