"I've had to work to be more conscious and deliberate about what is my next purpose and mission, who is part of my new tribe?" Etchison, 36, told Fox News. "That can be challenging. It's been lonely and kind of strange at times."
"But in the last year, through getting help with the [Department of Veterans Affairs] and starting to build some friendships in school, you start to see the opportunities and possibilities that the civilian world can give you," Etchison continued.
