EP 24: Fighting PTSD on the Water

Fight Oar Die with Bryant Knight Getting out of the military is tough enough but with an estimated 1/3 of all deployed soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan suffering from the invisible wounds of war like Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injury, this transition becomes nearly impossible. Bryant Knight, a retired Army Major and combat veteran, wanted to do something to help out. He is the president the ocean rowing team Fight Oar Die and along with three other Army combat vets; Alex Evans, Beau Maier and Chris Kuntz, they tackled the Talisker Whiskey Atlantic Challenge. This 3000 NM race from the Canary Islands to Antigua tests the most seasoned mariners and it gave them the perfect opportunity to bring some awareness to this very serious problem. Listen in!
