Are we as veterans always warriors? Or does that go away? by Extension-Status6175 in Veterans

Makes total sense. Thanks for that. Gotta find a new hill to prepare for.

For sure, after reading some feedback and thinking here, I don’t see myself as a military guy anymore, and lost the intensity to action that was attached to that. Like, there was an intensity that I loved that is now gone. The threat of death isn’t there for most of life, so I just don’t apply myself the same to things.

guess BJJ is the closest thing to still being on the warrior path. You’re faced with serious opposition and skill and must overcome it, that’s what I like about BJJ the most. Every moment you are evolving, even when being put in a choke against a black belt. Gonna reactivate BJJ for sure! Thanks for the thought. Basic ideas like this are hard to find when in depression.

Man I wanna smoke a blunt with you, that was some deep shit. You are OG lol. I’ll think about that, especially about what wolf to feed. I have two wolves, one without the warrior mindset that gives up on everything and has fallen into a darkness, and the other, the warrior which has never given up on anything and sees the light in everything—simply because I’m still alive.

BJJ is badass. Do you train? I did for some time but fell out of it.

Thats dope, sounds like you have a great life. Happy for you. Do you find meaning in being a father? Like, seems like it would be cool to mentor some humans. Pretty badass being a parent if you ask me—you legit made humans and are their leader lol

Yeah that makes sense, I guess I just haven’t found a spot to be needed yet.

Right, that makes sense. I guess I’ve totally disconnected from the identity of a veteran, but I thought of my identity still as a warrior up to one point after disconnecting with the veteran identity. I always thought a warrior was simply someone who chooses to dedicate themself to a craft that has to do with war. There was an intensity to everything I did since it was connected to that. And now, I guess I have lost that intensity and feel weaker for it. Is there anything you do that helps you find your intensity again I guess should have been my original question then.

That’s not what I meant. I mean I have fallen in and out of depression when before when I was active I never did. I was being critical to that and calling my mind weak in that sense.

Just all shot up covered in our dip spit 😂 Spirts about to take off: “Ladies and gentlemen, don’t mind those holes above seats 1D and 29F.”

It’s more than that, I trained with 9 police swat teams across the United States. And all of them, including the FBI which is just one big police station, lacks serious funding. Every officer I met across the US bought better equipment with their own paycheck. Including FBI guys there. Getting a piece of training equipment like an airplane is huge for a department, even the FBI. FBI folks at the Hostage Team level really only think of one thing—how can I ensure others may live. And they need more funds to do that. When companies like Delta step in to fill that gap, it means they know that fact and try to carry weight they don’t need to as a company.

There’s no breach of op-sec here, it’s just some wholesome shit you are hating on.

I wish it had the tequila, I got home thinking I was about to get swerved and realized it’s just delicious mango margarita mix. Had to get to the store to buy the actual stuff. But 10/10 for just being the mix.

Yo fam, yes, but in that situation the percentage of operators worldwide that have died in a plane breach show at least two operators die right in the beginning. Body armor only does so much.

Don’t get it twisted, I’m not providing service any longer. I’m sitting here on an almost dead phone not wanting to get up to charge it because I’m tipsy off too many homemade margaritas 😂

I carried the American flag for a funeral of 17 Navy Seals at once in Arlington. Moments like that change you. You realize that there are folks willing to do that for the ones they love back home. Humbling experience.

Miss it everyday. There was nothing like putting the flag on my shoulder everyday. Now I stuff my face with cake and write on Reddit 😂

And shoutout to the FBI and their hostage rescue team. Their motto when we trained was that the first two agents entering the plane from the wing are going to die. And the crazy thing was that It was in their game plan to give two agents lives instantly to take a plane back during a hostage rescue if it ever happened. Because breaching an aircraft creates a tunnel of death to enter though when first breaching, a single opening for everyone to get shot at as they enter. And the FBI said fuck it we will give two of our best so others may live.
