Perpetual Victimhood

There are always going to be people who take advantage of legitimate causes and use them in order to feather their own nest. Whether that be Veterans Issues, Aboriginal Issues, Gay Issues, the list is endless.
We have come to a place in society where people get social "brownie points" and their social value increases by being seen as a Victim, and perpetuating their victimhood/victim status allows them to cash in more and more of those brownie points.
It doesn't matter what the trauma or what the oppressive circumstances were, remaining in a state of perpetual victimhood isn't ever a good thing. It stops your ability to grow and evolve. There comes a point where you have to accept that yes, horrible things have happened to good and innocent people who didn't deserve them, but those things and/or events don't define who they are, they're so much more than that. In order to grow and evolve, these things don't need to be forgotten, but they need to be moved past. You can't drive anywhere if all you do is stare into the revision mirror.

The Alphabetical Male

Emotional Intelligence is a learned skill.
It is absolutely an asset to be able to tap into that masculine, competitive, "Alpha Male" energy, but even more important than that is knowing how and when to throttle it back in order to work with different people to achieve a more effective and positive outcome.
You don't need to constantly strive to be the "Alpha Male" in all circumstances and often that pursuit can actually be a hinderance to your achieving the overall goal, because not everyone you deal with in life, in whatever capacity that may be, will respond to that kind of personality in a positive way.
As Heston points out, if you're stuck in a pi***ng contest with everyone, you've lost complete sight of the overall mission, task and purpose.

Ash Baker

On the battlefield so many factors are out of your control and losing a Soldier under your purview as an Officer in a Combat Situation would be a tough enough situation to deal with, causing you to question your decision making process and the decisions made on the day.

But the burden that comes with losing a Solider, on Peacetime Operations and by his own hand no less would be an incredibly heavy one to bear, questioning whether there was there anything you could have done to prevent it, were there signs you missed, how could you have done more?
All of that pressure and burden placed on a young Officer, only 21 years of age, the guilt, the shame, the embarrassment, as well as just the loss itself would be incredibly hard to deal with.

If you are struggling, or you suspect someone you know is struggling, reach out to them, or reach out to your own support network and seek help. Life can be brutal and rough, there is absolutely no shame in asking for a little help. Speak to someone. You are worth it, and people in your life care about you.

Killed By A Great White

Experienced or not, every time a diver goes into deep water, into the open ocean, there is the risk that they'll come face to face with a shark. We're all human. Even the most seasoned among us can slip up.

Stay safe out there LIDs.

Grunts Aren't All Dumb

It's a common misconception that the "Grunts" or Infantry Soldiers are dumb, sure there are some who aren't the brightest bulb in the shop but if you want to excel in that line of work, you have to be switched on. You have to have smarts, because the job is tough both mentally and physically.

Diversity In Film

It would be sad to think that anyone had a real problem with diversity in film on it's own, I think most people simply have a problem with HOW it is achieved. Rather than opening the options up and giving everyone a fair go, and letting the best Actor, the best fit for the character win the role, often there is "box ticking" going on behind the scenes. So instead of chasing equality of OPPORTUNITY, which is fair, it is often equality of OUTCOME which is forced. Which at times, leaves a film project to depart from reality to an extent and perhaps lower the quality of the finished product because it may not have been the best person for the role that got the job. Obviously this is not the case in every single film project but it does happen.

The Public Eye

Being in the public eye can be an extremely uncomfortable thing at times especially when the details of your personal life are broadcast to the world, both the good... and the bad. Dealing with situations which would have otherwise been private, but also having them blasted out to the public with a proverbial bullhorn is not something anyone would enjoy.

Audition Advice

As actors whether seasoned or just starting your journey it's important to ask yourself a question when you get an audition come through. What is the tone? What show are we making? Is it a gritty crime drama, a buddy comedy, or a teen action adventure? Knowing the answer to that question will help inform your choices so that they align with the tone of the project.
