Ray in his own words:
When I joined the Armed Forces in 2006 I wanted to fight on the physical battlefields amidst the fog and friction of war, and over the last 10 years I’ve been able to deliver weapons from the skies above those physical battlefields with lethal precision. But in 2019 the long awaited dream of being a pilot halted and has come to an end, and I was exposed to another battlefield I knew existed but severely under estimated. A warfare that impacts 100% of our armed forces, first responders, and general population, not just those coveted few who kick in doors, and engage the enemy seeing the whites of their eyes. A warfare afoot the emotional battlefield amidst the fog and friction of our hearts. The fight against social pressures, social conformity, finances, bills, debt, addictions, personal and interpersonal relationships, etc. This is our fight.
My purpose in life is to now become just as lethal in the fight against hopelessness, anxiety, depression, etc. on the spiritual battlefield, while taking the principles of conventional warfare and target prosecution I previously learned and deliver hope, and encouragement with the same surgical precision as I learned when weaponeering ordnance to release from my aircraft.
I’m not interested in learning how to save lives…..I’m INVESTED.
