                  This week I bring on Michael and Sebastian from the podcast Cigars and Sea Stories. We did back-to-back interviews for both of our shows and had a great time talking about Marines Corps, business, and more.

                  About Cigars and Sea Stories: Cigars and Sea Stories provides a place for Marines and FMF corpsmen to act out and speak their minds. We discuss relevant topics, interview prominent veterans and, share stories of war. Any Marine or FMF corpsmen can be a guest on the show.

                  Our goal is to empower veterans to act as a whole. Veterans, this is our country, let’s make it better by creating positive change, voting on issues that matter, raising awareness for a worthy cause and, speaking out against injustice.

                  Desired end state: a network of veterans that can accomplish any task and, an America that can actually police itself.

                • FFW #17: Stacy Bare - Army, Sierra Club Outdoors, Veteran Issues, Health

                  This week's warrior is Army veteran Stacy Bare.

                  Stacy Bare is a skier, climber, mountaineer, and sometimes surfer who served one tour of duty in Iraq as a Civil Affairs Team Leader after being recalled from the Individual Ready Reserve. He received his commission into the United States Army from the University of Mississippi and is currently Director of Sierra Club's Mission Outdoors program. Through direct programming, public education and advocacy, Mission Outdoors combats the growing divide between America and the outdoors by increasing opportunities for all to improve their overall well-being by exploring and enjoying the natural world.

                  The goal of Sierra Club Military Outdoors is to ensure that service members, veterans, and their families have the skills, exposure, knowledge, and confidence to access the great outdoors. Time spent in nature not only promotes mental health, emotional resiliency, and leadership development prior to deployment, it provides invaluable know-how to help returning vets enjoy and engage with nature upon returning from deployments. Many veterans experience difficulty adjusting to civilian life after leaving the service. Time spent outdoors eases the transition and improves both mental health and social skills. Providing service members, veterans, and their families with quality outdoor experiences will help foster the development of a new generation of Sierra Club leaders and supporters from within the military and veteran community, including family members who will work to actively achieve the Sierra Club's mission and become outdoor leaders in their communities.
