Description

As a military veteran or first responder, you need to be planning and implementing strategies to prepare for your transition into civilian life. In this episode of the Transition Drill Podcast, I got to sit down for a second conversation with Riyadh Al Ahmady (Codename: Johnny Walker). Johnny Walker was born and raised in Iraq, served in the Iraqi Army, and eventually fought along side Navy SEALs. Go back to episode 78 to get more detail about him, growing up, and his service to American Forces during the invasion of Iraq. Johnny and his family were forced to escape Iraq in 2009, after he was labeled an enemy of Islam. During this conversation Johnny touches on personal and national struggles. We talk about the (and his) American Dream, PTSD, and the challenges veterans encounter in modern society. Johnny talks about his experience with psychedelic therapy and it's results. Walker also shares his frustrations about political corruption, his take on the current state of things in the U.S., and the need to restore unity. Johnny also offers his opinions on the infighting and drama within the SEAL Community that is getting a lot of attention of late. This episode resonates with military veterans and first responders, highlighting the importance of resilience, patriotism, and preserving values that define the American spirit.
