Veteran’s groups: Besides running a survival school, I am a supervisor in a state agency and was recently in leadership training. During this training, I talked with one of the Lansing trainers after she mentioned that she runs a veterans treatment group. This greatly piqued my interest. I told her about my survival and wilderness training school in West Michigan, where I teach students and host veteran groups. I also shared that in 2023, I hosted the group Veterans Rising and participated in Ruff Ruck 2023, a charity event to raise money for service dogs for disabled US veterans. I further mentioned that as of 2024, I already have another veterans group signed up and another one showing interest in 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 her email and put me in contact with her group. I must say, I have been pleasantly surprised by the amount of interest 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 work with even more veteran groups 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 on!
