It isnt easy doing all of these things at once but who says life is easy. Its challenging and crazy and at times depressing but in my life has been tremendously rewarding! Its MY life!

Please return here to discuss all things that relate to personal improvement techniques; for both military and civilian readers. From time to time we'll delve into subjects ranging from strategy, operational art, and tactics to neurotransmitters, Subconscious Restructuring®, PTSD, and brain rehabilitation. On the surface, this may appear to be a little confusing. To that I say, "Hang in there...it's about to get good!"

As a combat veteran, I see the world though a much different lens. All the things that made me who I am up until these past 7yrs now are all an amalgamation of experiences, situations and the way the human mind logically processes the illogical. Hopefully this offers someone a chance to recognize another person seeing things as they do.
