Wow what a busy couple of months Jared and I have both had. It has been increasingly difficult to manage everything and the podcast has taken more of a back seat than I would've liked. I was sitting down this morning to get everything up to speed and I hit another wall. Saturdays pod was plagued by bad internet connection on my end and we actually lost my audio because of it. Because of that I have no audio to make this weeks episode. I apologize for that but I am committing to getting this back on track. Our mission to help those in the military who are struggling with mental health will not be hampered by lack of energy or bad internet. Thanks for making the last 8 months possible. Thanks for sticking with us.

My internet dumped the stream I will get the podcast up ASAP once we are done.

We need to hold our leaders accountable. This is simply kicking the can down the road. Maybe we should give more PowerPoint training to ensure military personnel know that su***de is bad.

'At this time, it’s too early to determine whether su***de rates will increase for calendar year 2020.'

This is soooo painful to read but it perfectly illustrates the politics at play in the military. It happened all the time in the Navy Nuke community. Pay, qualifications, evaluations, orders.....all of these things are very easily used by superiors to effectively extort sailors into compliance and punish those who push back.

It’s disgusting and it needs to change.

Come join us as we record Episode 24 with Cindy Wu. Cindy was a Nuclear Electronics Technician on the USS Ronald Reagan.

Something I came across with regard to bullying and oppression - quoting from Jordan Peterson’s book “12 Rules for Life”: “When the awakening occurs. When once naive people recognize in themselves the seeds of evil and monstrosity, and see themselves as dangerous, or at least potentially, their fear decreases. They develop more self respect. Then, perhaps they begin to resist oppression. They see that they have the ability to withstand because they are terrible too.”

I think that this is extremely relevant in the Navy community. I know that I experienced plenty of verbal abuse in the Navy and it has shaped relationships in my life to this day. I’m fascinated by “boundaries” in relationships and I thought that this was a unique perspective on the subject.

Reading this article it is hard not to imagine that a big portion of the gutted services will include mental health. I sincerely hope that is not the case, but I fear for the future for our active duty brothers and sisters. The military as a whole as taken steps forward to combat mental health, but this would be a huge step back.

Yet defense officials say troops and their families could be hurt.

We are recording live.

A live recording of our Podcast. Drop in and ask questions if you want.

Episode 18 is live. David gives an update. We talk a little about the explosion in Beirut which had occurred only an hour or so before we recorded. We then transition into talking about what I would call organizational burden. What makes our former job in the Navy so stressful? Organizational burden.

Note: I rushed this edit in the busyness of my life and I needed do some different stuff from normal so you can hear the explosions on the video and the podcast. I am out of the house and will get it fixed later tonight and reupload.

01/08/2020

Hey Warriors! Today David gives an update on transition and his job hunt. Jared then shares about accountability and how he is growing and being challenged.

Have you watched us on YouTube? That's right, ReBoot is now on YouTube. Check us out there to get more out of our discussion. Body language is a big part of really understanding what is being said. Check us out and give us a subscription! I will be breaking down the podcast into individual topics on there as well if you don't want to listen to the full hour podcast.

We would love to have you on the podcast! If you have a story to tell, or you just want to sit down and join the conversation let us know! We have a few guests in the pipeline, but would love to have more.

Have a great week Warriors!

One of the greatest requests that we have had since we started this Podcast was to make videos and place them on YouTube. Well the day has come. You may now enjoy our podcast on YouTube. Now I did not do a great job with my screen capture, but I will learn and get better. So for now give me some grace and give me some feedback. Thanks for the support.

We made it to YouTube! We talk about our current life and whats going. We also take some time to talk about the USS Bonhomme Richard.

25/07/2020

Episode 16 is live. David and Jared catch up and talk about current life. We also talk about the USS Bonhomme Richard fire. We are going to be on YouTube! Now that David is back home he has the ability to record and post the video to YouTube. This will be a trial and error period, but should be good going forward. If you have any feedback or would like to be on the show let us know. Keep Fighting the Good Fight!

19/07/2020

Hey Warriors! We are back this week after my(David) move back to New York to be with my family again and to start my new chapter in life post Navy. We have Josh Noble on this week. Josh was a Nuclear Machinist Mate on the USS Ronald Reagan and did an instructor tour at New York Prototype. Drop us a line and let us know how you are doing or give us feedback! We are going to be doing some Q+A next episode so drop us some emails so we can answer your questions! Have a great week everybody! Keep Fighting the Good Fight!

04/07/2020

Happy Independence Day Warriors! Episode 14 is up. Jared is back. After a few weeks of scheduling conflicts Jared and I were able to hook up and talk about a lot of stuff. This includes the situation in Fort Hood, the sexual assault/harassment issues in the military and the leadership issues contributing to those issues. It was a great episode. Give us some feedback and share with your friends! If you would like to be on the show let us know. You can join us for a specific reason or just to give your input on whatever we are discussing that day. We like to focus on mental health, but we are open to talk about most things. Have a great weekend.

You know in 3 months and some change it will be the 1 year anniversary of my attempt to take my own life. Since that time I have come a long way. I started a podcast focusing on mental health. I have changed habits and life styles to help me conquer the depression. With my meds, these changes, and some good friends I have made it a long way and have felt better than I ever have before. However that being said, hearing of another person I either know or knew via other avenues committing su***de still hits me to the core and it brings about a sense of failure on my own part in more than 1 way.

That being said if you ever need resources, need money, need a friend to talk to, or just want to hang out. Please don't let it go. I let things go last year until I was at what seemed to be the bottom of a bottomless pit. That being said I will say my good bye to another influence in my life that has departed sooner than expected. Stay good my friends.

Hey warriors. Episode 13 is live. Jared and I have had trouble getting together to put out a new episode with some craziness in both of our lives, so today it is me with our guest Mark Teunis. Mark is a nuclear machinist mate on the USS Harry S Truman who just returned from deployment. We had a great discussion about the challenges of a deployment and the effect it has on mental health.

15/06/2020

Episode 12 is up. Sorry for the delay, it has been a very rough week for me and we talk about that this week. Mental health is often a consistent battle and it is important that you continue to press into that fight and continue on a path of improvement. It is very easy to say, but not so easy to execute. Hope everyone has a great week.

06/06/2020

Hey warriors. Episode 11 is live. We had a guest cancel so Jared and I made the best of it and had an Impromptu update where we covered how we are doing and talk a bit about current events. We also start to document my discharge from Naval service. We also have a surprise guest towards the end. Let us know what you think. Have a great week everybody.
