OMG Jimmy! I’ve met other warriors like you. God bless you.I was a Mental Health troop in the AF for 20. I know about the loss of identity especially following deployments. Nothing compares. I was a reservist who fell through the cracks, also homeless. Thank God there’s organizations that want to help, even though it’s hard to seek help sometimes. Keep trucking brother!

Started listening to your podcasts a week ago and started catching up on all the previous episodes. Prior to my LE career and years with the US Marshals I my military service was back in the 80’s. Being a veteran advocate for END22 and veteran suicide prevention I’ve learned valuable things from your podcasts. Now I have to say I could’ve listened to Jimmy for hours. This brother is hilarious yet humble. Would love a part 2 to hear more about the schools in his pipeline to becoming a PJ. Thank you for such amazing interviews and hearing elite veterans telling their story’s.

“Walking amongst civilians who, don’t care or don’t want to know… What did you do all that for?” Perfectly sums up talks I had with an old coworker of mine at my last job. He was army artillery not sure of his rank, but he served 02-03 (if my memory serves me right) We didn’t speak to each other much about his time in the military, but we did on occasion, I can see in his eyes that he was rather shocked that a person like me, a quiet nerd who loves to fly and learn, has any interest in the military and what happened. I asked him if he operated the howtizer and his face lit up!
