He shares the highs and lows of his service, the sacrifices he made, and the reality of being away from family while navigating one of the toughest careers out there.
Now that he’s left the Army, Jacob reflects on the transition back to civilian life and the impact it had on his mental health. The conversation also touches on the struggles many in the military community face, including the heartbreaking reality of losing mates to the battle within.
