WEBVTT

00:00.219 --> 00:03.052
(inspiring music)

00:04.514 --> 00:07.431
(crowd chattering)

00:09.425 --> 00:10.258
- We got water everywhere.

00:10.258 --> 00:12.202
- Being with the WTB and some of the lessons I've learned

00:12.202 --> 00:14.535
is not, not to ever give up.

00:15.196 --> 00:17.141
Just because you're coming to an end of a career,

00:17.141 --> 00:19.698
a military career, doesn't mean that you're done.

00:19.698 --> 00:21.799
There are opportunities that are available,

00:21.799 --> 00:25.526
alternative sports and Army trials and warrior games

00:25.526 --> 00:27.682
have opened up more of those opportunities for us,

00:27.682 --> 00:29.515
for me, especially so.

00:29.729 --> 00:31.347
It's helped me to put things in focus

00:31.347 --> 00:34.097
and remember not to ever give up.

00:34.939 --> 00:38.772
Going through the WTB, sometimes you feel like

00:39.361 --> 00:41.764
you're less than a Soldier, you can't do the things that

00:41.764 --> 00:45.097
Soldiers do, you can't get up and do PT.

00:49.415 --> 00:50.748
Just keep going.

00:50.829 --> 00:52.305
There's life after the military,

00:52.305 --> 00:54.638
there's life after injuries.

00:56.331 --> 00:58.180
For those that are going through some of the issues,

00:58.180 --> 01:01.572
dealing with PTSD, depression, I tell them, hey,

01:01.572 --> 01:05.072
it's gonna get better, it's gonna be okay.
