Note sull'episodio
Real stories, told by real people.
Hope all is well with you on this fine Sunday afternoon. Today Jason joins us, and he's got a story tell.
A retired veteran who served 31 years in the military. Jason opens up, talking about his struggles early on. From osteomyelitis, failing the first grade, and dealing with learning disabilities, Teachers and school counselors told Jason "you're not going to college." Guess what? He proved em wrong. Jason didn't just go to college, he earned 3 degrees. How in the world did he manage to do that?
Jason takes us along, sharing how life was for him overseas, and in combat. Roadside bombs, live fire, and the emotional turmoil from his father passing, plus pending accusations, and investigations his chain of command. All while being deployed. Jason walks us through these dark times, and what became of the false allegations, as well as his work towards peace, balance, and mental health.
An author of two books : A Soldier Against All Odds, and Out Of The Uniform, Back Into Civilian Life, No Nonsense Benefits Guide. I'd like to welcome another GIANTS AMONGST US. Life in and out of uniform, and the inspiration behind both of Jason's books, plus a whole lot more. Hope you enjoy today's conversation. If you do, share it with a friend, it's FREE OF CHARGE, drop us a line, then give it a review. Appreciate you.
'Til next time
and very soon,
PEACE!!
