The madman is back and it is DEFINITELY time to #GetStarched 

In their discussion, Peaches and Taylor emphasize that increasing capacity and managing demands are key to preventing running injuries. They also provide tips for identifying the severity of an injury and the appropriate course of action. Furthermore, they stress the importance of specific training strategies for bone and tendon health, highlighting the need for quick force application for bone health and recommending isometric exercises and heavy slow loads for tendon health. Overall, their message is clear: understanding the specific needs of each tissue is crucial for optimizing training and preventing injuries.

Taylor is gonna come sit down for parts 2-5 real soon, and we are sending him a microphone so we don't get yelled at in the comments anymore.

For those who may be wondering if it's too late to embark on a new career journey, take heart from these inspiring stories.

Lieutenant "Pops" Miller shares his incredible journey from enlisting in the Air Force to becoming an MQ-9 pilot. Initially joining the military because he felt aimless and his father wanted him to be safe, he later pursued a math degree out of defiance, despite facing numerous challenges along the way. His resilience and determination underscore the importance of seizing educational opportunities.

Similarly, Pops' path from a maintenance Airman to an MQ-9 pilot is a testament to the power of perseverance. His emphasis on the value of being reliable and proficient in any career field, as well as his encouragement to stay positive and excel in our chosen paths, is truly motivating.

These stories remind us that it's never too late to pursue our dreams, and that determination and resilience can pave the way for success, no matter the obstacles we face.

Welcome back to the team room! It's the whole squad with special guest, Project One Vet at a Time (POVAT) Program Volunteer, Mr. Lyle Rosin! 

Lyle Rosin, a former first sergeant in the Air Force, shares his experiences managing the welfare of 626 security forces members in Camp Bucca, Iraq. He emphasizes the importance of building a strong team and relying on trusted individuals. Rosin also discusses his involvement with POVAT (Project One Vet at a Time), a nonprofit organization that helps veterans navigate the process of receiving VA compensation and pension ratings. The organization provides financial assistance and aims to raise awareness and revenue to continue its mission.

POVAT, founded by Chief Master Sergeant Will Markham and a team of dedicated individuals, offers support and guidance to veterans, covering the costs of filing claims, medical visits, and other expenses. The organization is committed to ensuring that veterans receive the benefits they deserve based on their individual circumstances. They emphasize the importance of each veteran's unique experiences and provide resources and events to raise funds for their mission. The average cost to put someone through the project is around $10,500, but the increased lifetime financial benefit to the veteran can range from $460,000 to over $1 million.

Project OVAT is dedicated to helping veterans and active duty service members navigate the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to receive the compensation and pension they deserve. They provide individualized care, resources, and events to raise funds for their mission.

Please consider donating to POVAT by hitting the "DONATE" link on their website, at https://www.projectovat.org/

The main takeaway from this episode- along with all the other awesome insights that Trent and Peaches have for you- is that Aaron is mad. Just comment on that. 

"Why IS Aaron all up in his feels?"

This one answers many of your questions about training, how the career fields view themselves, and more. 

And Aaron isn't there, so that's a plus. Hope you enjoy!!!
