Mike sits down with Jeff Truex, a retired Army Explosive Ordnance Disposal technician, and discusses his military career and the creation of the nonprofit organization, After the Long Walk, aimed at reducing EOD veteran suicide. After the Long Walk was founded in 2015 in response to the suicide of an EOD technician. The organization provides a 24-hour hotline manned by EOD technicians for EOD technicians in need of support. After the Long Walk is a program created by and for Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) technicians to provide support and prevent suicide within the EOD community. Mike is an Explosive Ordnance Disposal Officer in the Army. Prior to

commissioning, he served as an enlisted Soldier for 10 years. He is an

advocate for mental health and taking care of the force. You can follow
