Coming Home Well

Exiting the service where one's purpose is often clear can be challenging for so many of our service members. One's purpose can suddenly be undistinguishable. Tyler chats with Hank Barbe, Combat/Flight medic and Iraq Veteran, about his time of uncertainty and hitting rock bottom before discovering his tribe that led to his new purpose in life. His course has been charted and he is using his skills and newfound friendships to make a difference not only for himself but for so many others.

 Coach Alfredo passes along important advise to gather your documents NOW. Get your affairs in order. When it is time to file your claim or you are sick in the hospital and your love ones need your documentation you don't want to be scrambling around trying to figure it out. Get friendly with the copier. Make a file or load up that flash drive. Do it for yourself and for your loved ones.

The symptoms of PTSD and Moral Injury can be a beast of a storm wrecking havoc on the mind. Trying to manage the daily tasks involved in just living can be draining so trying to manage symptoms on top of everything else can often times push a person to the edge. This week Tyler talks with Tom Voss, US Army veteran and author of Where War Ends about managing the symptoms through meditation. He began his journey of harnessing his inner storm with a 2700 hike across the country along side his friend and fellow comrade Anthony Anderson in hopes of reflecting and finding solace.
