Summary

This should have posted Friday, but did not...Regularly scheduled programming this Friday, listener submitted Q and A:

First, a question from a young Navy corpsman grappling with his identity and future as he transitions to a new duty station, seeking to redefine himself and find purpose. Then, a 26-year-old trucker and soon-to-be-married man shares his fight with obesity and the quest for physical and mental resilience, expressing a desire to protect and a fear of failure. Lastly, something more philosophical with a discussion on the impact of being exposed to the harsh realities of crime from a young age, how does awareness of humanity’s darkest corners affect our psyche and societal responsibilities?

0:00.0	All right I got three questions for today. First, two are from people in the military.
0:03.7	Different questions, though. And quite frankly, I forget what the third one was, but we'll get to it when we get to it.
0:10.3	So here we go.
0:12.1	Okay, got the red smoke.

0:41.0	And yeah, let's dive right in. I am 21 and a
0:46.3	hospital corpsman in the Navy. I'm a few weeks till I head to my next duty station

1:02.1	now I have hated being in the Navy. I let the bullshit get to me. I think and
1:08.9	just let it ruin my day. I got deployed in November of 2022 and returned in June of 2023 and ever since I got
1:17.0	back I have felt lost. I've had problems with being myself and caring what
1:22.0	people think and in that case I'd make my life riddled with lies
1:26.4	to the point where I'm at now. Just plain in the way that I don't know who I am or the man that I want to be.
