KIT CAGE KIT CAGE

In this episode of Kit Cage I speak with
Brian Short.
Following in his late father's footsteps
Brian pursued a career in the Royal Marines
from a young age, and soon enlisted to
become a musician. The impending
Falkland's war would lead Brian & his unit onto the Canberra to assist in their
war-footing roles of prisoner guarding. Brian came back from the
Falkland's with a unique piece of history, a
signed thank you card from the Argentine
prisoners he guarded on the ship, and has
since written the best-selling book, 'The
Band That Went To War'. His posting back
to Deal upon his return, was not as peaceful
as he had hoped, following a shocking visit
from the IRA..

Resiliency Brain Health was founded by Dr. Scharlene Gaudet on the principle of treating the entire body when helping patients recover from neurological injury. The human body is a complex, interconnected set of systems that can thrive in perfect harmony -- or struggle with immense conflict when improperly balanced.

The brain, as the primary center of organization, has the responsibility of maintaining this physiological harmony, so when it suffers an injury, any number of systems in the body can be impacted. Using the results of multidisciplinary diagnostic testing, we develop treatment plans to address each element of imbalance within your body.

Our bodies and brains are intelligently capable of healing themselves, though sometimes a nudge in the right direction is necessary to restore these capabilities. Our intention is to help patients cultivate resiliency of body, brain, mind, and spirit through a treatment methodology emphasizing empowerment and self-responsibility.

“Honor, Courage, and Commitment” is a gripping memoir that tells the story of one man's journey of personal courage and conviction. As the only active duty member at his military station to refuse the mandatory vaccine mandate, he faced intense pressure from his superiors and peers. But he stood firm in his beliefs, even when it meant risking his career and reputation.

Through vivid and honest storytelling, the author takes us on a journey of self-discovery and self-realization. He describes the internal struggle he faced as he weighed his own beliefs against the expectations of his colleagues and the military hierarchy. He also shares the emotional toll that the experience took on his personal life, as he faced criticism and ostracism from those around him.

But “Honor, Courage, and Commitment“ is more than just a personal story. It's also a powerful and timely exploration of the complex issues surrounding vaccine mandates and individual rights. The author delves into the scientific, ethical, and legal arguments for and against vaccine mandates, and offers a nuanced perspective on this contentious issue.

Ultimately, "“Honor, Courage, and Commitment” is a call to action for anyone who cares about individual liberty and public health. It's a reminder that we all have a responsibility to stand up for our beliefs, even in the face of opposition. And it's a testament to the power of personal conviction and the human spirit.

Ben Pearson is a retired police officer. 

"I served 19 years in West Yorkshire Police, mainly in their Roads Policing unit. I was also on the hit Channel 5 TV series “Police Interceptors”, appearing in series 15-16-17. This program is now shown world wide and in multiple TV channels such as Paramount, Forces TV, Dave and Bravo.


In October 2020, I was medically retired from the Police, due to being diagnosed with severe complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), depression and anxiety. This was due to the amount of child fatal collisions I attended, plus the loss of my mother and father in quick succession. 


 Since retirement, I have written 2 books, both  have been best sellers on Amazon (Handcuffed Emotions and Hotel Tango 23). I have also launched my “1965 PTSD Awareness” clothing line and have become an advocate for men's mental health.   I am extremely proud to be asked to film for various television shows, and over the last year I have worked along side the BBC, Channel 5 and Paramount TV Plus.


I have also been asked to be an ambassador for the Bradford District NHS Mental Health Trust, for which I am extremely proud."

Since leaving the police, I have strived to make a different on the way people see and deal with mental health issues in the work place. I tell my story and show people that no matter what life throws your way, you can keep pushing forwards and smash the stigma.

Daniel Vernon, served 10yrs as a British Royal Marine Commando. He saw brutal deployments in Afghanistan, operating out of FOB Gibraltar he witnessed first hand the ultimate sacrifice a soldier serving his country can make.
Upon returning to civilian life, lost and suffering mentally we hear how his ever loving wife helped steer him towards the light and from the darkness that was consuming him.
In this episode Dan speaks about training up until his first deployment and for the first time openly talks about his brutal deployments that ultimately changed him for the rest of his life.
He now resides in the United States and owns Yomping Royal Productions, a freelance photographic company.
"As a Royal Marine Commando, I thrive in
situations that take myself and my team above
and beyond our comfort zones. From spending
five winters in the Arctic Circle of Norway to
training in the arid deserts south of Death
Valley, my leadership skills have been tested in every type of situation. This physical and
mental endurance has translated into great
success as an instructor, responsible for
educating and leading teams of diverse and
strong-willed individuals. One of my greatest
strengths is getting the best performance out
of my team even during the most trying of
times.
Now as a professional photographer I enjoy
working with a vast variety of people and
brands, particularly those in the outdoor
industry. From start ups to large operations,
enjoy bringing visions to reality."
