“If failure was a success we would all be successful “- Frank Estrada. What would our Social Media nutrition label say about us?

Do you ever have the need to reach out and talk to someone who was there during a big event in your life. You know, just to check that it did really happen?

It may surprise you how many of us out there don’t like to talk about our time in service but it’s more common than you think.

We all do it and know we shouldn't.

Too many damn choices

I am joined with a long time childhood friend and civilian buddy who has known me before the military. Seeing the changes from each time is not something we see through our eyes. This will have to be in parts as we both look back at a time in life that turn out to shape us both.

Had the privilege of speaking with a good battle buddy of mine, Mendez, Sergio. Twelve years US Army. Surprised to hear how similar our stories where. Some of the challenges he faces and what drove him to keep moving forward. This is a look at his dismount from the service back into civilian life. I hope sharing these interviews will inspire other veterans to share theirs and bring light and hope to us all.

Dropping back into another true crime related to what surprised me, a military service member and his spouse. I recall being younger and hearing about Lorena Bobbitt and her cutting of her husband's penis and tossing it out her car window. Being prior service myself I found a lot of interesting things about their relationship dynamics and challenges.
