Rather than only saying we are tired or stressed, we need to be more specific about what is causing us to feel this way. Once we are able to identify what is causing our negative feelings, we can begin working to move past them.

2023-07-0131 minThe Veritable Veteran Podcast007 | "My trauma is better than yours!"Veterans and active duty military members have a difficult time talking about the trauma they have experienced. One big reason is too many people wear their trauma like a badge of honor; they think their trauma is "better" than everyone else's and they don't want to hear about other people's problems. Trauma is not a competition and everyone reacts to traumatic situations differently. We need to do better as a community at supporting those who have been wounded, no matter how we perceive their level of trauma.

2023-06-081h 31The Veritable Veteran Podcast004 | Don't Be a VictimToo many veterans see themselves as a victim of their service. As veterans, we need to stop seeing ourselves, and allowing ourselves to be seen as victims and take ownership of our mental health.
2023-06-0120 minThe Veritable Veteran Podcast002 | Post-Military Identity DisorderJoining the military straight out of high school caused me to cling to the military for my identity. I didn't really know who I was as a man when I enlisted, and when I EAS'd after 11 years, a Marine was all I knew myself as. I sought fulfillment through what I was doing and I was never truly satisfied.
2023-05-2228 minThe Veritable Veteran Podcast003 | "I didn't do enough..."Veterans served their country, so why do so many of them feel as if they didn't do enough? Why do some veterans cringe when someone tells them, "thank you for your service?" Most people who join the military have a vision of how their time in the service will go, but few, if any, actually get to see that vision come to reality. When it doesn't, and those people leave the military, they are often left with the sinking feeling of "I didn't do enough..."

Silver On the SageRobert ClemmerToday, Robert Clemmer joins the show. There’s a lot of good energy in our discussion focusing on Philmont's Order of the Arrow Trail Crew Trek or OATC. Clemmer worked as an OATC Forman, Coordinator, and Associate Director of Cons - overseeing the conservationists. He discusses the useful and cheerful service goals of OATC, and the philosophical consideration of Scouting as a movement, compared to Scouting as an organization. Returning in 2021 as a Volunteer Vacation Forman, Clemmer was pleasantly surprised by the continued positive influence and impact that Philmont imparted. So much so that in 2022, Clemmer volunteered his time to be...

The Bobcats showed out on defense at the end of last season, showing dramatic improvement after switching to a 3-4 scheme mids...

But we do have a couple of goofy concert reports, because Kornflake won Dar Williams tickets from a college radio station, while Kevin attended a benefit show with Belly, Nada Surf, Juliana Hatfield, Evan Dando, and more. (Sometimes you just have to party like it's 1995.) And because we tend to get everything wrong, we have a bunch of corrections from recent Flopcast episodes, on very important subjects like Donkey Kong, Flash Gordon...
