Why Veterans Need Combat Sports
As veterans, when we decide to hang up the uniform, it can leave a void. And it's crucial to fill this void with positive, constructive life choices. In this video, I make an argument for why I believe combat sports accomplish just that. I hope you enjoy it!

My Patient Got Violent- Here's the Story
I find this very useful and true. I'm starting med school in the future and these tips are great because it incorporates a bit of active learning. Outside of studying, most of what you listed can be subjected to reflection and learning like exercise and the effects it has on your body. Try connecting it to your specialization, etc. It's INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT to give time to yourself to properly orient your goals so as to never lose sight of what you really want to achieve in med school, and give your mind time to think.
How expensive it will be to get license from day 1 to last day greet video
@@eustaceelms9403 thanks! It’ll depend on the jump zone but you’re probably generally looking at 3k+
@@JoshKorzan thank you!
Congratulations happy for you and your progress is amazing to see i just finished my aff and it's so amazing to see the tricks that you learned and you got a great instructor great job man :ps on how many jumps are on now
@@R3ns1997 thanks!! Congrats to you as well and welcome to the skies🤘 I did have some phenomenal instructors! I have 65 jumps now. Slowed down a bit once classes started back up but I’m still getting out to jump when I can. Just did my first bit of back flying in the sky this week! Love it!
Oh I so wanna do this...
@@wilfswanderings 10/10 would recommend!
A burning life.👍👍
@@AYVREE-Sky 100%! 🤘
Wow, great job! Excellent AFF dives. I made my last jump about 15 years ago. I sure miss it, getting too old now (70) and my reaction times are not what they use to be but I have some great memories. Congrats and have fun!! David D-15875.
Thanks David! I love this community and it's always great meeting other skydivers. Wishing you all the best and blue skies, regardless of the altitude! 🤘
Sir what is its fees and where did you do your course? There is a lot of struggle in this field
It'll probably vary depending on where you do the course, but you can probably expect around 3K+. I did my AFF at Chicagoland Skydiving Center. 10/10 would recommend!
Blue Skies brother

When you have license a can you have camera on your helmet? Amazing video
Thanks! And I think it's 200 jumps for a camera. One day 😅
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you!!!
Where did you get this course?
Chicagoland Skydiving Center
Wow!! Just found your channel. Great video! I am a premed, non-trad student going into medicine as a 2nd career. Needless to say, I've already heard my fair share of naysayers. This was some great advice. I'm about to binge watch the rest of your videos. Thanks for putting these out there. Great job!🎉
Thanks Treece! Hope the videos are helpful and best of luck with your journey in medicine. Feel free to reach out anytime!
HEY, MY BODY MY CHOICE, EXPLETIVES
The single biggest and most dangerous con for me when I was a CNA working on Telemetry was the patient ratio. It was more often than not that CNAs there would have between 18 to 24 patients particularly overnight. I reported this to department manager and D.O.N. several times. I got fired a few weeks later for charting during OT cause I couldn't keep up. I was sad because I was wanted to be a RN in ICU/CCU. But I actually realized when I found a new career how relieved and happy I was in that new field. I worked with few nurses I respected and who helped when asked or without. But I also unfortunately worked with a bunch of nurses who treated CNAs as though we were their property and had one tell me I worked for her. I know their job wasn't easy but when multiple call lights are going off and they're sitting down scrolling through Facebook and not offering to help whatsoever; they got their sugars, BPs and I/Os super late and the doctors would ask why didn't they get them since I was busy. Very toxic and dangerous environment for both patients and staff. That was my personal experience. Glad I'm out of there to be honest
Thanks for sharing your experience Sammy! I'm sorry it wasn't a more positive experience for you but I'm glad you've found your way to greener pastures. All the best!
excellent production quality.
Thank you 🙏
Sweet! I got mine in one. Burned through the 100 jump tickets I bought when I signed up for AFF in 6 days. Had my brand new rig 1.5 weeks after my first jump.
Did you have ANY canopy malfunctions on any of these jumps???
No malfunctions thankfully 🙂
@@JoshKorzan that’s amazing. Well done. I just did my 4th tandem and we had twisted lines. Couldn’t fix them in time. Had to cutaway and pull reserve. Traumatized me and I’m reconsidering continuing on with my next (solo) jump 😂
@@AaronAlterman that’s no fun 😅 Glad you made it down safely though.
@@JoshKorzan I did my first solo skydive today!! Went perfect. Landed on my feet!
@@AaronAlterman that’s awesome!! Congrats and props on getting back up there! 🤘
I’m thinking of taking it up
You got this 💪
You're a legend. I recently experienced my first tandem dive and it blows my mind that people have the balls to do this on their own. Very inspiring. Maybe one day for me too
Thanks Craig! Glad you were able to experience a tandem and hope you enjoyed it!
As an LVN I was not an icu or er nurse. This was back in the 80’s. What do you do as a cna in these units? I loved medical surgical units back in the day. Everyone has a niche in medical care. I was a float and definitely should not have been in the er or icu
You pretty much perform the same duties as a CNA on the medical floors. But in the ICU, intubated patients require frequent repositioning and codes are more frequent. In the ER, I also did blood draws and splints.
Do you have to get ER certificate or you can you your CNA license
It’s on-the-job training. And you actually don’t need a CNA certification. There’s several titles for essentially the same job- nurse assistant, patient care technician, patient care provider, etc. CNA is the same but requires additional time and money for the course. I was a patient care technician/provider, but used CNA for the videos to make it easier for people to recognize what I’m talking about.
Proud to hear and see you accomplish great things. Great mindset on you as well; whoever told you all that must’ve not known who trained you! Keep it pushing & thank you for your service🙏🏽
Thank you! That’s means a lot. Will definitely keep pushing. All the best to you on your journey as well!
I am medical student in one of the Eastern European contries. Been training boxing for almost 10 years. I wear mouthguard, helmet, I'm also trying not to engage in hard sparings. What do You personally think about potenitial brain/CTE damage, that boxing can cause? Or will You recomend some other MA? Thank You very much!
Hey Deniss! Hope med school is treating you well. Ya that's a tough one. I enjoy training Muay Thai and have similar concerns. I think if we're solely focused on brain health, even getting hit lightly is probably not great. But having the information is important so that we can at least be aware, prioritize what's important to us, make tradeoffs, and ultimately accept whatever consequences may come our way. And obviously there are some things we can do to reduce or eliminate damage. I.e., light sparring rather than hard sparring, work technique & drilling only, or to not do it at all. Hope that helps!
Dude! Knew I recognized the drop zone! I did my AFP at SDC but have jumped at CSC a few times! Some of the chillest divers out there. I’m an ER nurse and we’ve started an annual staff skydiving trip and have done it 3 years in a row! Blue skies!
That's awesome! And it's cool that you guys have an annual skydiving trip. I'd love to get some coworkers together to do that in the future, wherever I end up. Maybe I'll see you at CSC some time! Blue skies!
Dope dope how high did your start from for these looked higher than normal?
14k 🤘
great video! definitely needed more perspective on this
Thank you!
My son who is 17 works at McDonald’s and makes $16/hr. I’m not trying to get a pay like nurses and doctors, but why can’t we be making $20-$25 as a starting wage when we have people’s lives under our hands. 😢
Agreed!
that’s awesome! love it. skydiving got me into paramotoring.
Thank you! Blue skies! 🤘
What do you enjoy more?
@@MANlNBIACKparamotors for sure
I want to go from nursing home to hospital. I have other hospital experience (not CNA.)

Family member did the same and expired….
Awesome video dude! Ive been wanting to get my A license for a while and this has inspired me to sign up. It was crazy to see how fast you progressed, congratulations!
Any reccomendations on where to do the license?
I can really only speak on the jump zone where I got licensed (Chicagoland Skydiving Center), but would highly recommend it!
Congratulations . how mutch friend ? place ??
Great Job! I just got my license as well, so this makes me smile big. Thanks for sharing the journey.
One of the best feelings ever! That first solo jump wondering to yourself what you're going to do!
Congrats buddy 👏👏🎉🎉 You made it 🎉
I can relate to your story so much, wow! Thank you for sharing! Out of college I fell right into the commercial insurance industry. And working within the industry for 5+ years I’ve worked in different areas and it’s never clicked for me. I decided to take a cna class and I couldn’t be more excited about getting to work in a medical environment and having direct involvement in patient care. I am hoping to apply to medical school in 2026 or 2027 depending on when I get my prerequisites done. But I find your story very inspiring. Again thank you so much for sharing!
Who is the provider?
Great video. I wish my generalist life was as successful for me as it was for you. All that art, music, and countless other skills landed me being one of the more interesting guys wasting away in factories. At least I have something to do when I have a little free time.
Thanks Jordan! Wishing you all the success in 2024!
nicu NP and ER cns.. love both
Well Done and Coach is very Professional Nice Video.
Can you make a video about Highschool who want to be doctors and talk about the process
Normally on the first 3 levels of aff you have 2 instructors. Why do you only have 1?
I’m guessing just variation between DZ’s.
What all did you learn in the ER as a CNA? I’ve always heard you learn a lot in the ER, like a lot more and it’ll give you a lot of experience for other fields. Is this true?
I learned a lot in both the ICU & ER. For soft skills, the biggest thing was probably communicating with patients. I also learned a lot from observing different members of the healthcare team- thought process, protocols, procedures, & asking questions. As far as hard skills, in the ICU I learned how to move patients effectively, i.e., boosting, changing bedding- this becomes more complex with patients connected to a higher number of lines, tubes, & machines. A lot of CPR as well. In the ER, I learned splints & blood draws, in addition to using the other skills learned in the ICU. I also got floated to the other floors many times. In my opinion, the learning opportunities are greater in higher acuity settings like the ICU & ER. It's difficult to summarize everything learned in a short paragraph, but I hope this helps!
@@JoshKorzan Thank you so much for trying to summarize as best you could! I really appreciate you replying back to me!
@@Flames_29 of course! Happy to help
You did 25 jumps in 6 days ??
Sure did! 🤘
