    Remembering 9/11
    Sep 16 2024
    As I remember back to this date, my mind is filled with memories as I stood there frozen watching the television. It would not be right if we did not talk and remember the lives of those who perished on that treacherous day. Not only the victims but also all the first responders as well as the service members who answered the call in the name of freedom. It is amazing this event created such a ripple of effects that would completely change our world in so many ways. It would also claim the lives of so many moving forward.

  • The road to success: Reality vs expectation

    The road to success: Reality vs expectation
    Sep 3 2024
    We, humans that is, have this skewed perception about success. We think, most of us and at times me, success has this straight linear rise from top to bottom. It boggles us when we encounter bumps or even obstacles on our path to our set goals. Especially in a day and age where social media can paint such an alternative illusive world. We see others "making it" and living "da life." When it reality, it is totally the contrary. Succes comes with a lot of things such as, hardwork, sacrifice, sleepless nights, grinding, and then some. Join me and if you on are on your path to be succesful, what have you given up to get there so far.

  • Sticking to your decisions - Good or bad, you have to own them

    Sticking to your decisions - Good or bad, you have to own them
    Aug 23 2024
    The other day I was thinking back at my time in the Corps. I recalled a time when we had deployed to Iraq during the push and we had a vehicle on our convoy go down. Our stick (convoy) commander made a decision to tow the vehicle with a different type of variant type of vehicle. Something completely out of text book that eventually led to an accident. Although no one was hurt, it could have been pretty tragic nonetheless. From the beggining I was completely against this decision, however, the captain stuck with good or bad. I also had to give it to the young Marine who even suggested such an idea. He was confident about his suggestion thinking it was a good thing to do. Although their judgement call was not the best, both felt confident about it and stuck with it. Sometimes as leaders, very difficult decisions have to be made. Good or bad, one must at least be accountable for one's actions. Let's talk about it on the show.Nowsite AIhttps://myainow.site?af=da80e9The Field Op Channelhttps://db67.short.gy/thefieldopThe field op Podcast Facebookfacebook.com/thefieldop?mibextid=LQQJ4dThe Headshed Instagram@theheadshed2024LinkedInhttps://db67.short.gy/PachoLinkedInSitchradiohttps://www.sitchradio.com/VA Resourceshttps://www.va.gov/.../national-buddy-check-week-talk-to.../https://www.veteranscrisisline.net/signs-of-crisis/https://www.va.gov/reach/lethal-means/https://www.veteranscrisisline.net/find.../local-resources/https://www.va.gov/REACH/

  • Let's talk Survivors Benefit Plan (SBP)

    Let's talk Survivors Benefit Plan (SBP)
    Aug 21 2024
    Over the last two weeks, I have been spending time researching and learning more about the Survivor Benefit Plan aka SBP. As I was getting to retired, I had enrolled in this plan with no knowledge whatsoever of what it entailed. I recall asking the clerk at the administration office what this program was about. They had little to no knowledge they could provide. You will be surprised as to what this benefit is all about as well as how the funds are used/distributed. If you want to learn more about it, tune in.
    DISCLAIMER!!!!!
    Do your own research as well and weigh-in your options. If you have questions, feel free to reach out. You can also call DFAS to ask questions and make them work for their money :).

  • Faith over fear

    Faith over fear
    Aug 2 2024
    Franklin D. Roosevelt said in his 1933 inaugural speech, “ Nothing to fear but fear itself.” Fear can have so many negative effects in our lives. Fear can make you stagnant and keep you tied to that post. Even though there may not be a chain or a rope around our necks. How many times has fear kept you from doing something amazing? Let’s talk about this on our show today.
