In this episode, I break down nine strange habits the military quietly wires into you—things most civilians never notice unless they’ve lived it. I talk about how my relationship with food changed, why hyper-vigilance never really turns off, and how habits like walking in sync or over-preparing stick with you long after service. I also share how the military unexpectedly sharpened my public speaking skills and my ability to spot BS from a mile away. These aren’t complaints or flexes—they’re just honest observations from lived experience.

In this episode, I break down the ID cards every veteran should know about—but most don’t. After a short video I made about the 100% Disabled American Veteran ID went viral, I realized how much confusion and misinformation exists around DOD and VA identification cards. I walk through all nine official IDs, explaining who qualifies for each one, what documentation you need, and what access or benefits they actually provide. My goal is to help veterans understand what they’re entitled to and avoid missing out on resources that can make life easier.

(00:00) — Intro

(01:02) — 100% DAV ID eligibility

(02:15) — Reserve retirement cards

Basic training isn’t just physically demanding — it’s full of strange, uncomfortable, and often hilarious moments no one really prepares you for. In this episode, I break down some of the weirdest things I personally experienced during boot camp, from grown men breaking down emotionally to people doing whatever it took not to break formation. These moments might sound extreme, but they’re all part of the pressure, exhaustion, and mental reset that happens when you’re pushed past your limits.

(01:02) — Emotional breakdowns in training

(02:07) — Bodily functions under pressure

In this episode, I break down Chapter 35 education benefits and explain why they’re one of the most overlooked opportunities for disabled veterans’ families. I walk through what these benefits actually are, who qualifies, and why they can be life-changing for spouses and children. Unlike the GI Bill, this money is paid directly to the dependent, which creates a lot more flexibility in how it’s used. My goal here is to make sure you don’t leave money or opportunities on the table simply because no one explained this clearly.

(01:12) — Direct payments explained

(02:35) — Eligibility requirements breakdown

(03:58) — Application and certification steps

(05:02) — Monthly payment amounts
