In light of Afghanistan’s fall to the Taliban, I find myself at a loss for words, but not emotions. Anger, depression, uncertainty, hopelessness, and anxiety - to name a few. Thoughts back to the grape rows of Zhari District, complete with coloring book contests with the local kids, chai and naan sit downs with village elders, and pre-combat patrol jokes with LT. Ahkmed (one of the greatest and bravest Afghan warriors I fought beside), on one hand, and firefights, IEDs, and fear on the other.

VETERAN IMPACT ORGANIZATIONS COLLABORATE TO CONNECT 10,000 TEXAS VETERANS CONNECTED TO RESOURCES - CELEBRATE THE ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE TEXAS VETERANS NETWORK
Combined Arms is proud to partner with The Ambitious VET Podcast to launch a survey so that we can better serve our veterans and help them thrive in their communities. Right now it’s more crucial than ever to gain your feedback on what we’ve been able to accomplish.
Combined Arms exists to accelerate the transition from military to civilian life. The faster veterans integrate into our community, the faster we are able to harness their passions and skills to make an impact. We are here to connect these veterans to resources so they can make “civilian” their next branch of service.
We want to hear from you. Help us get to know our audience of veterans, their families, friends, and supporters by participating in the survey so that we can continue our mission and make improvements. This will allow us to serve even more veterans and to ensure that they have a successful transition.
Once we have at least 50 responses, we will be doing a random drawing for two lucky winners to get their own pair of Combined Arms Floperators from Combat Flip Flops! About The Ambitious VET Podcast
