Trauma does not always hit all at once. Sometimes it stacks up quietly until one small moment at home becomes the blow-up you never saw coming. I sits down with Matthew, a Navy veteran, Houston police officer, and executive director of the Birdwell Foundation, to talk about what PTSD really looks like after the uniform and what actually helps when willpower is not enough. Matthew shares a deeply personal story about surviving a shipwreck near Bahrain, avoiding water for years, and then finding calm again through fishing. That healing turned into action with “Fishing for Peace,” a program that takes veterans and first responders out on the water, teaches fishing and basic boating skills, and helps people build a reliable outlet they can use with their kids, their buddies, or on a hard day when their nervous system will not shut off. We also dig into the Birdwell Foundation for PTSD and Camp Valor in Conroe, Texas: a faith-based recovery camp built on brotherhood, structure, and peer support. Matthew explains who the program is for, how the intake process works, why they require a PTSD diagnosis, and how chapters in multiple states provide free support. Please like share and follow..EmailSupport@CharlieMikeThePodcast.comWebsitewww.CharlieMikeThePodcast.comFacebookhttps://www.facebook.com/CharlieMikeThePodcastYoutubehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNyGgJYIgU8b02NypoJgHAg  Charlie Mike Military ApparelVeteran Owned & Operated

Born on Veterans Day in San Antonio, Raul Herrera never expected his Navy enlistment for educational benefits would lead him into the heart of Vietnam's maritime battlefield. In this powerful conversation, Herrera takes us aboard PCF-79, one of the Swift Boats that fundamentally altered the course of the Vietnam War yet remains largely overlooked in military history.Herrera's vivid recollections transport listeners to July 15, 1967, when his six-man crew intercepted and captured an enemy trawler attempting to deliver supplies to Viet Cong forces. This high-profile mission earned them recognition from South Vietnam's highest leadership but also placed a bounty on their heads. Just months later, an ambush would claim the life of Boatswain's Mate Bobby Don Carver, Herrera's tough-love mentor whose death would haunt him for decades.Most compelling is Herrera's forty-year journey to document this overlooked chapter of military history, a process that ultimately provided healing from undiagnosed PTSD. His book "Capturing Skunk Alpha" stands as both personal catharsis and historical preservation, ensuring the contributions of Swift Boat sailors won't be forgotten as their numbers dwindle.For anyone interested in untold military stories, the personal costs of war, or the healing power of storytelling, this episode offers profound insights from a veteran who transformed personal trauma into historical legacy.For book purchases, presentations, or to contact Raul Herrera, visit skunkalpha.com or email [email protected] like share and follow..EmailSupport@CharlieMikeThePodcast.comWebsitewww.CharlieMikeThePodcast.comFacebookhttps://www.facebook.com/CharlieMikeThePodcastYoutubehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNyGgJYIgU8b02NypoJgHAg  Charlie Mike Military ApparelVeteran Owned & Operated

In this episode, we sit down with Jeremy, the driving force behind RP-1, Texas - an initiative dedicated to ending veteran homelessness in the state. We'll talk about the shelter, therapies, and skills training RP-1 provides for veterans, and how the initiative is fostering entrepreneurship and sustainable development. But that's not all - we'll also discuss the upcoming Ride For Rally Point. While the original ride covered 500 miles, this year's ride will cover another 500 miles, and the RP-1 team is looking for hosts and community organizers along the route. If you live on or near the RFRP's route, you can help by becoming a host. All you need is ground suitable for Trooper, RP-1's trusty steed, enough room for their truck and trailer, and access to a water hose and electrical outlet. Community organizers can help by finding hosts in their area, arranging meetings with local Veteran Service Organizations, and planning events to support the ride. Join us for an inspiring conversation about RP-1, Texas and the Ride For Rally Point, and find out how you can get involved in this important initiative. Find out more InformationOur Official Sponsor:Pearland Podcast Studio http://www.PearlandPodcastStudio.comAlbrite Glass N Mirror https://AlbriteGlassNMirror.com/Please like share and follow..EmailSupport@CharlieMikeThePodcast.comWebsitewww.CharlieMikeThePodcast.comFacebookhttps://www.facebook.com/CharlieMikeThePodcastYoutubehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNyGgJYIgU8b02NypoJgHAg  Charlie Mike Military ApparelVeteran Owned & OperatedPlease like share and follow..EmailSupport@CharlieMikeThePodcast.comWebsitewww.CharlieMikeThePodcast.comFacebookhttps://www.facebook.com/CharlieMikeThePodcastYoutubehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNyGgJYIgU8b02NypoJgHAg  Charlie Mike Military ApparelVeteran Owned & Operated
