As a military veteran or first responder, you need to be planning and implementing strategies to prepare for your transition into civilian life. In this Flashback Friday episode of the Transition Drill Podcast, we recap Episode 45 with Guy Smith. Guy was born and raised in South Central Los Angeles. Though gangs were all around him, a strong and influential grandmother and family kept him out of the gang life. Growing up he was into martial arts and wrestling, so after high school he ended up in San Diego coaching and fitness training. Many of the clients he was working with were Special Operations members and they convinced him to join the Navy. Guy enlisted in the Navy and served 6 years as SWCC and deployed multiple times to the Middle East. Injuries and family responsibilities caused him to leave active duty in 2015 but he did 3 additional years in the reserves. After leaving the military he struggled with redefining his mission and what his identity is along with struggling with alcoholism. He considers himself fortunate to have found the Honor Foundation and graduating from their program. Today he continues to support The Honor Foundation along with The Navy Seal Foundation. Today Guy is a IFBB professional bodybuilder and fitness trainer, helping people reach their personal and fitness goals.
