The Nasty Guard Craig Atkins III

First off, everyone takes a breath. We have some information on the March 5th NGB memo and things are going to be okay. In this episode, I will tell you what I know about the changes with reenlistment bonuses and hopefully calm your nerves. Then we bring on a 20+ SGM to talk Guard benefits and give advice to young junior enlisted soldiers. If you are a young soldier who isn't using benefits PLEASE LISTEN UP. 

As always, thank you all for the love and support, and we hope you enjoy the episode.

If you are not having sushi every Sunday you are not living. Anyways, come join Corey and me for some video game talk, NGB reenlistment bonus chaos, and more. Then we dive into the worst Alaska Air National Guard unit ever and explore the failures in leadership that led them to this conclusion. Lastly, we bring on Chris, a 19-year Army National Guard member who has had more jobs than anyone I have met in the Guard. We talk leaders, we talk failures, we talk success, and go over one of the best days in the Army we have heard yet.

This week on The Nasty Guard Podcast we bring on the highly educated and resourceful Shayla.

She is currently the Sustainer Donor Manager at Paralyzed Veterans of America and serves on the Junior Board of Tuesday's Children. In this episode, we talk about art therapy, Shayla's background with the military, her calling to care for veterans, and discuss how little we know as military personnel about our mission.

This could be the most important podcast we've recorded thus far. This week we bring on Josh Halu CEO and co-founder of The Psychedelic Exchange. Josh and his team work tirelessly to connect veterans with treatment for mental illness. However, this team explores natural medicinal treatments such as Psilocybin, MDMA, and Ketamine. These new treatment modalities are showing some extremely promising research results, and are being hailed as insanely successful in saving the lives of veterans in crisis. This episode is packed full of Josh's personal stories, and us picking apart some of the taboo around these treatments. These conversations are how we move the needle forward and help more people. Be sure to like, share, rate, and subscribe to help us help more people.

First off, it is a joke. Relax children. That being said, we bring on Nora from @fubar_actaul and she discusses struggles as an influencer in the Army, she talks about her best days as an Army leader, and dives into why you need to move to Ohio. This episode is full of laughs and exposes a side of military influence that is usually undiscussed. For those of you who find this edgy or wild, I strongly recommend taking a prescription chill pill.
