SUMMARY: This is the third part in a 4-part series dedicated to the Transitioning Veteran. This week Bennett and I sit down and ask the question: Should being a Veteran define you? Separating from the military is difficult enough, some use their disability and/or Veteran status as a roadblock rather than a stepping stone. This episode is not designed to offend or downplay one’s service or status. It is meant to make you think. Stop being a victim, stop alienating non-Veterans, stop segmenting the Veteran community. “At the end of the day” when it’s time to roll outside the wire it is an honor to be a Veteran, wear it proudly, but don’t let it wear you.  Still Keeping it real!

SUMMARY: This is the second part in a 4-part series dedicated to the Transitioning Veteran. This week Bennett and I sit down and discuss some false expectations Veterans often face, and how you can manage those expectations. Separating from the military is difficult enough but now throw all kinds of false hopes and dreams on that fire and before you know it your spirit is shot and things start to look really bleak! This episode is not designed to crush anyone’s hopes and dreams, but Bennett and I do give you a healthy dose of reality. “At the end of the day” know one owes you anything, the civilian world just doesn’t care about your service as much as you do, and there aren’t thousands of jobs just waiting for you when you get out.  Keeping it real!

SUMMARY: Giving up your identity and perceived value in the military to take on being a single Father wasn’t an easy decision at first for Adam. Once this Hour of Decision came he knew he had one chance to make the right decision and that was to be the Father to his son he knew he needed to be. Once the decision was made Adam realized that his perceived value did not come from his uniform, or under his Sergeant Stripes, or draped under this nation’s flag with a commitment to his country sworn by an oath. His actual value was in raising a young boy into a worthy man some day. This legacy is where true value and honor is found. IN THIS PARTICULAR EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: Four things Adam recommends to all service members as they embark on their journey of separation from military service: Ensure your medical paperwork is in order before you separate, you will need them once you get out.
