Veterans groups

In addition to running a survival school, I am a supervisor in a state agency and was recently in leadership training. In this training, I got into a conversation with one of the Lansing trainers after she mentioned that she runs a veterans treatment group. This greatly peaked my interest. I told her how I run a survival and wilderness training school in West Michigan (my other job) in which I teach students and host veteran groups. I also told her how in 2023 I hosted the group Veterans Rising, and how I also participated in Ruff Ruck 2023, which was a charity to raise money for service dogs to give to disabled US veterans. I further told her that as of 2024 I already have another veterans group signed up and another one showing interest in coming out and training with me. I even met the Deputy Director of Veteran Affairs for Michigan. During the conversation with the trainer from Lansing, she gave me an email and put me in contact with her group. I must say I have been pleasantly surprised by the amount of interest there is from veteran treatment groups. I am very excited to continue this work and look forward to 2024 and the seasons to come. My goal is to further work with even more veteran groups in an effort to try to give back to those who served. I would also like to do more work with Corrections Officers, Law Enforcement Officers, Firefighters and other First Responders. Bring em!
