The World Needs More A&P Technicians

viation maintenance is essential to ensure flight and passenger safety, maintain the peak performance of aircraft, and extend aircraft life. AMTs are the ones who perform inspections, maintenance, structural repairs, and alterations on various aviation components depending on their specialization area. Primary specialties include airframe, powerplant, and avionics. Regardless of the type of maintenance, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certification is mandatory for aircraft mechanics, and these specialized technicians are in demand!

A great analogy is The Shawshank Redemption. The prisoners did not love being in prison, but they had a sense of camaraderie there. You knew your place in the military; your rank meant something. You have a uniform, and you know how to get things done. You become very comfortable in that, especially if you’ve been in for 10-plus years. To leave that all behind is hard.

Empath Health Serves and Celebrates Those Who Have Served Us

For decades, Empath Health and its affiliate healthcare organizations have delivered full life care to everyone with advanced or chronic illnesses in the Tampa Bay area. It became evident to Empath’s clinical experts early on, though, that military veterans’ experiences toward the end of life are different than what civilians go through.

Eat More Food!

On my journey, I realized that once I started to eat and exercise less, I began to see positive changes in my body. I began feeling better mentally. Before, I was doing what everybody thought I should do, eating small meals throughout the day; fat-free cottage cheese, tuna fish, eggs, chicken, and vegetables.

Childhood

At Pride Strength Training in Tampa, Owner Kim Kasem has a way to touch these kids’ lives by offering them someone to talk to and a program to help them learn to live healthy and happy naturally.

Kim focuses on children around age ten and offers them education on mobility and strength. Kim’s programs focus on using their own body to build their body with examples and instruction.

Angry With God?

A Conversation with Keith Pacific

We are very grateful for the opportunity to serve veterans and their families. We have gotten involved with local Chambers of Commerce, VAN, and other Veteran groups to get out and meet people. We grow organically by word-of-mouth. We are just down the street from MacDill AFB, which helps our military patients.

Who is Oplign?

We sat with Oplign Founder Brian Halstead to learn about Oplign, its origin, its intent, and its magic.

Veteran Suicide: The Truth Behind The Numbers

A 20-passenger minibus full of local veterans crashed today, killing all – Imagine hearing that on the news every day. The public would demand to know why the buses have crashed, who is at fault, and how we fix it. When it comes to veteran suicide, we lack a definitive answer to these questions, so we continue to explore, question, and wonder what the hell is going on.
