While numerous studies explore veteran and current military member reintegration challenges from a psychological or sociological perspective, few have examined the impact of discourse on the ability to locate a post-service or post-deployment identity within larger society. To that end, this research investigates veterans' and active duty military members' interpretations of the ritualistic expression of "thank you for your service," and other public acknowledgments and disclosures of their military service. This paper describes two studies, each employing qualitative and quantitative methodologies for data analysis. Verbatim transcriptions are interwoven throughout the corresponding results sections to support the qualitative findings. The multi-methodological application of focus group discussions (FGDs) and in-depth personal interviews, revealed that "thank you for your service" was regarded by study populations as an injunctive norm that frequently elicited feelings of awkwardness, objectification, impostor syndrome, and even resentment. Further, study subjects expressed a general unwillingness to disclose their military service with anyone beyond their selfascribed ingroup, demonstrating an underlying fear of being labeled as either a hero or victim. To explain their responses and their fears, this paper proposes the hyper-humility model, which describes the confluence of sense of duty, guilt, and/or shame from a perceived comparative lack of hardship or elevation to the standing of those perceived as more deserving, and acute manifestation of impostor syndrome. Lastly, this paper offers a path toward more meaningful civilian-military interaction, by broadening discourse to include more personalized, genuine dialogic exchanges.

Eleven cases of suspected driving under the influence (DUI) of flualprazolam are presented. Data from police reports and drug recognition examinations (DRE), when available, were evaluated. In all cases, significant driving impairments were observed including weaving, driving slowly, stopping in the roadway, or collisions. Objective signs of impairment in all cases were generally consistent with those expected from central nervous system depressants. Both the mean and median blood flualprazolam concentrations were less than 15 ng/mL. Though comprehensive analysis was not performed on each specimen, the data from this study support the conclusion that flualprazolam at low concentrations may significantly impair the ability to safely drive.

The literature on agency costs has established that the introduction of outside equity results in conflicts betl.een ne1,7 mmers and management that lO1,7ers the value of the firm. In contrast, this paper, by focusing on management-labor conflicts, demonstrates that the value of the firm can be increased by the introduction of outside equity. We obtain this result by sho1,7ing that the bargaining position of the o1,7ner-manager is enhanced 1,7hen outside equity is increased. As a result, 1,7orkers with firm-specific skills are persuaded to accept a lm.er 1,7age, and hence the value of the firm increases.
