I am with Tony on this. A 40 hour work week is something I couldn’t do after the military. Instead I went on to do “outage” work. Heavy industrial maintenance that requires travel, long hours, physical work, and dangerous situations. There is some of the brotherhood feeling, and I have met many vets while working this job.
Really glad you guys are on our side! I love Tony’s no BS attitude. Thank you for your service. It has always been my goal to help veteran’s when they retire and I would love to work with guys like you and Tony. I am pretty sure you could handle and work “stress” without complaint. We need more of that in our culture. We need to reintroduce that mindset back in our culture. No more trophies for participation! I am going to buy your book “Way of the Warrior Kid” for my 13 year old son to prime the pump. Thank you for your service.
A great podcast, with a tough dogged man. But every so often Tony’s voice softened (don’t tell him I said that) and you could hear his care for his men, and the thoughtfulness about the question at hand. Good luck in life Tony.
Im a cop … have been for 25 years …… your podcasts have helped me a lot in gaining perspective …. in that the LE world is full of afraid self-serving leaders …. I know Tony Eafradi is having a hard time transitioning out of team life …… wish he would consider going to Afghanistan with me …. we could learn a lot from him …. please consider putting me in touch with him.
