    SZN 11 EP 10 - Emma Johnson Shares LEO Husband's Use of Force, Which Led To TBI & Suicidal Ideations / Lion & Lamb Homestead LLC / Major Resisting Arrest 3 Weeks After Getting Married Changed Their Life After Medically Retiring / Batting Night Terrors

    Thank you to Emma Johnson for joining T.O.C.'s podcast to share about a life changing incident that changed her life involving her husband, Matt Johnson. After a short three weeks of Emma and Matt tying the knot and getting married, he was involved in a violent use of force as a Police Officer. During the fight, Matt was struck in the head multiple times, which ended up leading to a traumatic brain injury, and ultimately led to suicidal ideations with a plan.  Thankfully, Matt did not complete the plan and had the support of Emma and fellow co-workers to fight through the PTSD, TBI, and suicidal ideations.  Emma and Matt founded Lion & Lamb Homestead LLC, which is focused on helping first responders after being injured on the job.  Check out their instagram to follow and support @Lionlamb_homesteadva.

    SZN 11 EP 8 - Major Jake Kelly, U.S. Army Soldier Stationed in Fort Benning / Solider Dies by Suicide Night Before Deployment & Shocks Everyone / Challenges For Military Spouses & Significant Others / Author of 'The Spurs of Service'

    A huge thank you to U.S. Army Major Jake Kelly for joining T.O.C.'s Podcast to discuss a unique perspective of being an Officer in the U.S. Military and our current mental health situation in our Armed Forces. Tune in to listen to Kelly talk about the challenges our spouses and significant others face during deployments, the stigma of mental health, and his book 'The Spurs of Service". Kelly served as a platoon leader with the 3d Cavalry Regiment, deploying to the Sinai Peninsula, before joining the 3rd Infantry Division as a Troop Commander in 5-7 Cavalry at Fort Stewart, GA. During his time in 3ID he conducted operational deployments across Europe to Germany, Poland, and Hungary, followed by a separate deployment to the Republic of Korea. Over the course of his career, Jake has served from platoon leadership through company command and has experienced firsthand both the extraordinary bonds forged through military service and the personal costs carried by service members and their families. After more than a decade as an Armor Officer, Jake transitioned into the Army’s Simulation Operations career field, where his work now focuses on wargaming, experimentation, and the modernization of the future force. He  currently serves in Transformation and Training Command (T2COM) at the Maneuver Battle Lab at Fort Benning, Georgia, supporting Army experimentation and modernization efforts. Jake is also the author of The Spurs of Service, a collection of 53 poems inspired by the shared journey of service members and their families. The book grew in part from the losses and experiences that shaped him during his military career, including the deaths of close friends in Afghanistan and the suicide of a Soldier under his command. Drawing on his background as a cavalryman and his upbringing in rural East Texas, his writing uses the imagery of the cowboy and the warrior to explore service, brotherhood, sacrifice, grief, family, faith, and the difficult journey of finding peace after hardship.
