    “When you lose control of your emotions, you are handing the control of your emotions to someone else (i.e. the other person)”. Excellent statement, and I’ll not forget it. Thank you. Great interview.

      Don't listen to a liar, there was no gun in his room, the dirt bike was bought by my dad, he didn't get mad, it was a ford escort, it wasn't his uncle it was my first cousin not his uncle , if you ever play this again, I'm going after you mike in the courts. Do you get it. This boy is lying he was sixteen and the mediation told joe his dad to pay for plain tickets, I got sean clothes back, from talking to cops, sean is pathetic.................

    Man o Man the guests , stories & quality of this podcast just get better & better. Definitely the best military oriented podcast on youtube! The quick fire questions, topics of conversation and the way you have it set up and deep dive into your guests background stories keep it super entertaining, educational, respectful & bring out the best response/stories. Thank you for your service, the work you do with the dogs coming home from war & just being an all American Badass!

    I was an officer in the Army for nearly 10 years. I still do not understand why the only humane, sensitive, honest people I have met are militaries. You do not find that kind of individuals in civilian life : except maybe in law enforcement, health care, firemen. We need a conscription. We need a way to teach people what it means to be responsible for others... what it really means to be a citizen.

      @mhsandifer 3 года назад +2

      There are a few of us, but I am from a family with MIL relatives and most of my friends growing up were either from MIL or LE families. It took me many years before I finally joined LE in a non-enforcement capacity (search and rescue) . But I agree, there does seem to be less personal responsibility and integrity displayed in most people I come in contact with as well. Given the nature of the moral decline in this nation, I'm not surprised.

He's not just a military rock star, he's a human that already had a lifetime of deep crap happen to him. I've been to his hometown many times, the whole Antelope valley is pretty much the meth capitol of the world. So for anyone that can climb out of there, my deepest RESPECT.

    Outstanding interview! “PTSD, Time to Heal” also emphasizes writing by hand; it activates a part of the brain that’s logically driven which dampens the emotion of the memory, making it easier to process. Let it sit a month and only then share it if you want. Verbalizing can retraumatize. Going back to it also allows for anything addition that might come up or anything that was misremembered to fall away.

    This is what I try and do. I do not try and control my anger per say but I do always try and improve discipline. So when I get heated, I try and intensify that emotion I am feeling mentally and sometimes I may even make a little noise but I intensify it until I cannot do it anymore and I see the foley of it and try and learn why I am feeling this. And then I do my best to release it. And hopefully next time it doesn’t make me so unbalanced. It’s hard to explain. But it has helped me and maybe it can help someone else. I think that the main thing is recognize the issue and also realize that many times there isn’t a right way. And there may be many ways to get that box checked. I have also tried to keep my world small. Not escapism but trying not judge myself. Or anyone else which seems to always get the negative flowing for me. For example, worrying about which people are trying to ruin the planet or who is deceiving knowingly in order to control or to get mfers to knowingly give away their freedoms etc. I zoom in on my life. And my family thank god. Anyways. Yeah we need less filter. Thanks I appreciate it. Rant out.

Cop and DA remembered me from many years earlier and refused to press charges. My unit was good to me and looked out for me like older brothers do...

    Great show, I can relate to him with his mother. My mom was diagnosed with Scleroderma and she got into a car accident not to long after that and rolled her jeep. And she got hooked on pain pills was doctor shopping. We were born the same year but this happened to me during my very early teens. It wasn't pretty. My mom eventually passed away but those few years of that were pretty brutal. Back then doctor shopping wasn't real mainstream and the opiate plague wasn't really out there like it is now.
