EP-361 | Beyond Service, Defining Identity and Impact on Society

Mentors for Military Podcast

Join in as our panel uncovers the critical transition from being soldiers to becoming numbers, highlighting the inevitable disconnect between civilian and military life. They navigate the subtle war raging within many veterans, and the hesitance surrounding open disclosure of their experiences. Join us as we appraise the struggles, losses, and triumphs of the shared veteran experience. In the following segment, hear conversation exploring the importance of utilising military service experiences and values positively for society. The episode emphasises the essentiality of veterans consciously deciding to enrich their communities rather than encapsulating an entitlement mentality. Learn about the powerful influence veterans possess to change the world around them through anecdotes of those who've done just that. Highlighting that the 'veteran' tag should be a continued commitment towards societal improvement, not just a badge of entitlement. Our dynamic panel of four US military veterans ends by addressing leadership, processing trauma, the concept of entitlement and community integration. From the trenches of leadership to the dark crevices of trauma, the episode peels back layers of complexities that come with service. Acquire wisdom through our candid conversation as we unravel the veteran's journey. If these perspectives enlighten you or you have other topics you'd like us to explore, reach out. Being a veteran encompasses a journey of constant growth and impactful citizenship. So, join us and let these discussions guide your journey. Sean Jarvis and Mike Burke (Legends of the 75th) join Kyle and Robert as guest hosts on this episode. _____________ Please leave us a review on Apple/Spotify Podcasts: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mentors-for-military-podcast/id1072421783 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3w4RiZBxBS8EDy6cuOlbUl #entitlement #combat #mentors4mil #mentorsformilitary Mentors4mil Links: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Mentors4mil Patreon Support: https://www.patreon.com/join/Mentors4mil Intro music "Long Way Down" by Silence & Light is used with permission.
