POSTS STORIES REELS

I'm starting a new chapter, and I'm thinking bigger than just trucking. 🚀

I recently learned something from my school counselor that really opened my eyes: Supply Chain Management exists in virtually every industry, not just transportation and logistics.

Healthcare, technology, manufacturing, retail, aerospace, and many more industries depend on supply chains.

That's one reason I'm pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management while also exploring an Artificial Intelligence Undergraduate Certificate.

AI is booming, and I believe combining AI, data analytics, and supply chain knowledge can create opportunities to solve real business problems.

But I also have a personal mission: I want to explore ways to help solve some of the challenges truck drivers and trucking companies face.

I'm not in school yet, but I'm already researching, networking with industry professionals, and learning everything I can before day one.

From Army 11B to CDL driver to future supply chain professional. This is just the beginning.

I'm not waiting until graduation to start building my future. I'm starting now.

14 YEARS LATER… AND THESE MEMORIES ARE STILL ALIVE! 😂🇺🇸

I just received some pictures in the mail from my Army Infantry Basic Training graduation back in 2012.

Man, time flies! Looking through these pictures took me straight back to those days.

And of course, some of the guys I went through 11B Infantry OSUT with decided to tag me on social media in some old gas chamber pictures. 😂 Apparently, I made the basic training yearbook too! Nothing like having your worst moments documented for history.

It's crazy thinking about how much has changed since then. Even basic training has evolved, with policies and procedures changing over the years.

Fourteen years later, we're all in different chapters of life, but those memories and the brotherhood never really go away.

Once an Infantryman, always an Infantryman.

To everyone I went through training with, I hope life has been treating you well!

🇺🇸 VETERANS ARE GETTING INTO THE STOCK MARKET… AND I FOUND SOMETHING INTERESTING! 📈👀

I've been getting back into learning the stock market, investing, and understanding how trading works. Along the way, I've connected with a few fellow veterans who are also learning, investing, and trading.

But here's what caught my attention…

One veteran is offering FREE stock market investing and trading lessons exclusively for the veteran community! 🇺🇸

Think about it: What if more veterans started sharing financial knowledge, learning about stocks, ETFs, dividend investing, and building long-term wealth together?

I'm still learning, asking questions, and figuring out my own investing strategy. I'm not here to promise anyone overnight success. I'm here to share the journey.

Veterans, are you investing in the stock market, trading stocks, or still trying to figure out where to start?

Drop a comment! Let's connect and learn from each other. 👇

Life after the Army doesn’t always go as planned.
I spent years figuring things out, earned my CDL, drove trucks, and started a junk removal business. Now, at 35, I’m taking a different path through VR&E and going back to school.

To my fellow veterans: Have you ever felt like you needed a fresh start after the military?
Let’s talk in the comments. 🇺🇸

Why does everyone push veterans toward IT and cybersecurity? 🤔

Don't get me wrong, those are great career fields. But I think we need to talk more about other opportunities, too.

I'm an Army veteran with a CDL, and I'm pursuing a degree in Supply Chain Management. 🚛📦

Think about it: the food you eat, the clothes you wear, the cars you drive, and the products you order online all depend on logistics and supply chains to get where they need to go.

So why isn't supply chain management talked about more when veterans explore education and career opportunities?

High demand doesn't automatically mean an easy job search. We need to explore different industries, understand the competition, and find paths that align with our experience and goals.

Veterans, are we overlooking supply chain management? 👀

😂 Trying to talk about VR&E on camera and stumbling over my words, but the message still needs to get out!

Before applying for VR&E, I owned a junk removal business. Now I’m focusing on my overall health, going back to school, and figuring out this next chapter of my life. 💯

One thing I’ve learned is that VR&E may help eligible veterans pursue self-employment, education, and career goals. If you're a veteran thinking about starting a business, don't overlook this program!

Make sure you check the eligibility requirements and available services on the official VA website at VA.gov. Every veteran's situation is different, and approval isn't guaranteed.

My journey is changing, but I'm still building toward a better future. Sometimes starting over is exactly what you need. 🇺🇸💪🏾

Veterans, what are you working toward in this next chapter of your life? 👇🏾

In my last video, I promised to share more details about my journey, so here’s the follow-up. 👀
How many veterans knew about VR&E before today? Drop a comment! ⬇️ And if you’re a veteran who has used VR&E, share your experience to help somebody else.
You might help a veteran discover an opportunity they didn't even know existed. 💯

I joined the military to go to college. One of my buddies told me to use my education benefits while I was still in, but I didn’t listen.
Now I’ve discovered something that has me wishing I knew about it years ago. 🤯

Veterans, be honest… have you heard of VR&E, or are you just finding out about it too? 👇🏽

🚨 LET ME CLEAR SOMETHING UP ABOUT MY LAST VIDEO…

I ended up deleting my last video because a lot of people misunderstood what I was saying and started bringing up VA fraud.

Let me be clear: I shared my personal experience as a veteran. My intention was to share my story and help other veterans learn about the benefits and resources available to them.

Every veteran's situation is different, and my experience is not advice on how to get a particular disability rating.

I didn't expect my video to reach so many people, but I appreciate everyone who watched, shared, and had a genuine conversation about it. 🇺🇸

Moving forward, I'm focusing on sharing information about veteran resources, VR&E, education, life after the military, and building a better future.

I'm here to help veterans learn about their resources, not debate my personal medical history or claim details.

To all my fellow veterans, keep educating yourselves, use official VA resources, and look out for one another. 💯🇺🇸

🚛🇺🇸 From Army veteran to CDL driver, and now I'm preparing for my next chapter!

My VR&E journey continues! My online college classes are scheduled to start in January, and I'm working toward learning supply chain management and expanding my career opportunities beyond driving.

I'm grateful for the opportunity to keep learning and investing in my future. This is another step in my journey of building a better life after the military.

If you're a veteran considering using your VA education benefits, don't overlook the resources available to you!

Follow my journey for more veteran benefits, career changes, financial growth, and life after the military.

💬 Question for veterans: Have you used VR&E to go back to school or train for a new career?

#VRE #VeteranBenefits #ArmyVeteran #SupplyChainManagement #CDLDriver VeteranEducation LifeAfterTheMilitary by @clydewfaulkner

I'm an Army veteran, and lately I've been thinking about whether moving overseas could be the next chapter of my life.

I've been researching the possibility of living in the Philippines, using my VA disability benefits to cover my expenses, and attending college online with my GI Bill.

The Philippines also has VA medical facilities that could be an important factor in my decision.

I'm not saying I've made up my mind. I'm still researching the cost of living, healthcare, education benefits, and what everyday life would actually look like.

Have you ever thought about leaving America and starting over overseas?

Veterans living abroad: I want to hear your experiences!

CALL OF DUTY MW4 DROPS TOMORROW 🎮🇺🇸
DID YOU KNOW THERE'S A GAMING COMMUNITY JUST FOR VETERANS?

Call of Duty fans, the hype is real! 🎮 I'm talking about the upcoming Modern Warfare release and The Regiment, a veteran gaming community that helps military veterans connect through gaming and social media.

Gaming can be more than just playing online. It's also a way for veterans to connect, build friendships, and find their community after military service.

🇺🇸 Are you a veteran who games? Have you heard of The Regiment?
