So I had a thought… Every year around this year, veterans will post pics of themselves from their time in the military to look back fondly, and reflect about that time in our lives. I fully support this, but I want to take a slightly different approach. Rather than just focusing on my time in… I also want to reflect upon my time as an actual veteran. Obviously, the first picture was from my time in the Army. I had just got back from Iraq, adjusting to being single again, and just embracing my identity as a Soldier. The second picture is within a year or so after I got out. I was heavily involved in the veteran motorcycle club scene. While the structure of this is very militaristic, we also had a mission of veterans helping veterans. This was a key aspect that would stay with me. While I loved riding, and loved my Brothers… I wasn’t entirely comfortable that the lifestyle was a good fit for me. The third picture was from my time as a leader in the veteran community. I carried over the mantra of veterans helping veterans from my time in the motorcycle community. This chapter was probably just as defining as the military chapter. The fourth picture is of me, this year, after having left the previous chapters behind me. Now I am focused on family, career and health. While I still care very deeply about veteran issues, I have largely left my advocacy work behind me. I do what I can, when I can, within my limits, it is not remotely on the scale that it once was. Sometimes I’m at peace with that, other times, I’m not. I can’t necessarily control my physical health and energy levels. Peace comes from focusing on that which I can. I can be present in my family’s lives. I can focus on excelling in my career. I can focus on the things that bring me joy. I can focus on embracing who I am today, rather than lamenting over who I once was. #resilientrooster #positivelycocky #lumbersnack #veteran #VeteransDay #biker #veteranadvocate #opveteran #Husband #father #hunter #cook #snakedad #growth #mentalhealth #identity

This weekend, The American Legion is hosting MCON, in partnership with Veteran Benefits Guide, in a continued saga of TAL saying one thing and doing the complete opposite (very DC of them). You see, The American Legion’s DC office has, continuously, for well over a year, touted their devotion to protecting #veterans from predatory actors. VBG, notoriously known as predatory company, has preyed upon veterans for their entire existence - shown by the mounting lawsuits they face across the nation. So, the partnership seems a bit bizarre. To explain this through another lens, let’s imagine I partnered with PETA or Vegan Outreach. That would be a wee bit peculiar, because my entire platform is dedicated to advocating for veterans and encouraging them to get outside - to hunt and fish. It might cause you to question my focus. You may start to ask yourself if, rather than prioritizing my personal beliefs, I’m willing to sacrifice my convictions for a dime. That’s kinda what it looks like when a #Veteran Service Organization says they’re against predatory claims companies and then signs a contract with them. Politicians play word games. Veteran Service Organizations should not. Take a stance, stand tall, don’t bend for a check, and don’t lie to your membership. _____ ??: unrelated photo #va #veteranaffairs #betheone #toapplycriticalthinkingskills #veteransstrengtheningamerica #dontfeedthesharks #claimsharks

Why are canines so suited to be service companions for #military & #veteran pros? Dogs thrive on COMMUNICATION, on COMMUNITY & on objectives-based CARE. Sound familiar? That was one of the things discussed at last night's kick-off meeting for our new campus-wide Warrior Canine Connection Club at the University of Maryland. A room full of nexgen motivation ready to serve allgen #veterans & families... it was a great sight to host at the University of Maryland - Robert H. Smith School of Business. What else did I learn? - Many dogs may be born to serve, but not all are born to be service dogs. For that special mission, they need to be both bred & trained with purpose. - Intelligence & demeanor are critical factors, but so too is health. Not unlike joining the #armedforces, these dogs need to be reliably fit & up-rounds from day-1. - Once screened, that's when the real tests begins. Again like the military, each dog spends up to 18 months in basic training with screening throughout. The best will promote to advanced training & then be assigned to serve where they're needed the most. - Finally, along the way, they may even see a transition! A dog with a great nose may become a Sent Tracker. One with great genes could have a tour as a Breeder. Others may be tagged for Facility service, or many may be selected as Ambassador Dogs. ... the commonalities abound! Thanks to Molly Elmore M.A. Education, PMP for a great presentation (+ some tasty pizza). Dogs + Vets + Students = Awesome! Initiative for Veteran Lifelong Leadership
