Poetry and poetry have saved my life, along with my kids and my future wife Yanet.
Personal Story:
The things I saw and did in Iraq and Afghanistan, obviously, how I treated some of my Marines, during our time in Afghanistan, my ex-wife, and the things we have said and done to each other, my childhood, so many of my brothers taking their own lives. How I handle it I used to drink A LOT, but I started therapy in 2014 and did 5 years my therapist pushed me to share my poetry, and poetry has saved my life, now I write to cope and deal with my darkness.

Trailer1: The Up Coming Year

Hey everyone, and welcome to another episode of The Bunkhouse; I’m your host Jon.
I know it’s been 4 months since the last episode, but I have some updates and news about the show.
First the show itself:
After the new year I will continue to release one episode of the show.
Also, I am going to kick off a second session, focusing on mental health.
I already have a couple guests lined up, just have to work our schedules out.
Veterans to share their story and how they beat their inner battles.
Representatives from organizations that support veterans and provide programs to help heal the invisible wounds.
Which means, there will be 2 episodes a month, one from each session.
Now the extras:
I have started journaling to help deal with my own anxiety, and stuff, and then I started sharing them on TikTok.
If you want to check them out, you can go my TikTok handle @thebunkhousecast
Or my Instagram handle, @thebunkhousecast
I also created a LinkTree that has links to all my socials media platforms, to include the show.
It also has links to other individuals, and or organizations that I support or am a part of.
I am a board member for Hackers 4 Vets
Nonprofit that helps veterans get into cyber by providing awards, vouchers, courses and more.
I am also an Ambassador for Mission 22
Mission 22 provides support to Veterans and their families when they need it most: right now. Through a comprehensive approach of outreach, events, and programs, we’re promoting long-term wellness and sustainable growth.
 
I hope everyone has enjoyed the 10 episodes I’ve released so far and continue to be on the lookout for the upcoming episodes.
 
If you want to contact the show, or want to be a guest, send an email to jcole@thebunkhousecast.com
Or use the LinkTree link and click “Contact”.
 
Again, I want to thank everyone for their support with the show, I can’t wait to see where it takes us next year.
 
I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year; and as always, Be The Light In Someone’s Dark.
