Tribe : on homecoming and belonging / by Junger, Sebastian,author.(CARDINAL)273968;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 139-168).Introduction -- The men and the dogs -- War makes you an animal -- In bitter safety I awake -- Calling home from Mars -- Postscript.Decades before the American Revolution, Benjamin Franklin lamented that English settlers were constantly fleeing over to the Indians-but Indians almost never did the same. Tribal society has been exerting an almost gravitational pull on Westerners for hundreds of years, and the reason lies deep in our evolutionary past as a communal species. The most recent example of that attraction is combat veterans who come home to find themselves missing the incredibly intimate bonds of platoon life. The loss of closeness that comes at the end of deployment may explain the high rates of post-traumatic stress disorder suffered by military veterans today. Combining history, psychology, and anthropology, TRIBE explores what we can learn from tribal societies about loyalty, belonging, and the eternal human quest for meaning. It explains the irony that-for many veterans as well as civilians-war feels better than peace, adversity can turn out to be a blessing, and disasters are sometimes remembered more fondly than weddings or tropical vacations. TRIBE explains why we are stronger when we come together, and how that can be achieved even in today's divided world.

Thank you for my service / by Best, Mat,author.(CARDINAL)797412; Patterson, Ross,1977-author.(CARDINAL)604950; Parker, Nils,author.(CARDINAL)430766;
Does anyone need a hand? -- From Green Day to green thumb -- You're in the Army, now?! -- Baby, it's cold outside, so please piss on me -- A soldier comes home -- Brehm and Barraza -- Tab on the shoulder, tats on the sleeve -- Head and shoulders above the rest -- I am the LAW -- Iraqi rave party -- Balad. James Balad. -- Snowflakes in Los Angeles? -- Party patrol -- When life gives you an ox, make oxen -- The hundred-foot war -- Hey, aren't you that dude? -- Shirts & shots & shows & service -- By veterans, for veterans."Mat Best may be the only man alive known for both crazy-intense military ops and crazy-funny YouTube videos. In Freedom On!, he uses the gallows humor and ribald sensibility that earned him over a million Facebook followers to tell his personal story of military service and the bumpy transition to civilian life and successful entrepreneurship. Beginning as a teenager in a military family dealing with 9/11, continuing through the intensity of four years as an Army Ranger and five years as a private military contractor, and concluding with one of the most meaningful moments in Best's life -- screening a movie he wrote, produced, and starred in for soldiers deployed overseas -- Best gives readers a fuller sense of the person they might only know from his major online and video persona. With equal amounts of heart and balls, this is the unapologetic, laugh-your-ass-off military book that vets and civilians alike have been waiting for"--

Warrior to civilian : the field manual for the hero's journey / by Sarver, Robert,author.; Gendzier, Alex,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 301-320) and index.The Preparation Phase: Plan Your Dive, Dive Your Plan -- I Am the Master of My Fate: The Return to Civilian Life -- The Four Stages of Reintegration -- Loss and Grieving -- Substance Abuse -- Moral Injury & Physical Injury -- The Silent Assassin: PTSD -- Traumatic Brain Injury -- The New Frontier: Psychedelics and Plant Based Remedies -- Final Performance Tips -- The Hero's Journey: A Guide to Refinding Purpose -- Refinding Purpose: Veterans' Perspectives -- Practical Steps in Looking for a Job -- Small Steps to Success -- Be a Warrior Inside the Wire as Much as Outside -- The Transition for Spouses and Families."It's clear that we have not honored the promise we make to veterans: that we as a country will help them after they've served and sacrificed. And while there are many books written by and for veterans, only a small selection of those address the transition to civilian life, and none are a truly complete reference for stepping out of service and back into normal life. Warrior to Civilian covers a range of topics, from the practical--finding a job, reintegrating into family life--to the more challenging topics, like dealing with loss, and finding new purpose in life. This well-curated resource incorporates stories, insights, and observations from veterans and their partners; evidence-based advice from health professionals and experts who work closely with veterans; and inspiration taken from heavyweights like Jon Kabbat-Zinn and Tony Robbins. The authors take care to address the unique challenges faced by veterans of color, and those in the LGBTQ+ communities. With support from some of our country's most recognizable military members, authors Rob Sarver, a former SEAL, and Alex Gendzier, combine their voices and their experiences in and out of the military in a unique way that will make this resource shine. Scaffolded by the hero's journey, in which the hero experiences a series of transformative events, they reveal that within the loss that many veterans have suffered while serving and suffer in the transition, there is great opportunity for healing."--

Once a warrior : how one veteran found a new mission closer to home / by Wood, Jake,1983-author.(CARDINAL)406546;
Crossing the rubicon -- Moments and decisions -- Poof. That's the sound they make -- Red-embered Marlboro -- The valley echoed -- Everything is wrong -- Life after war -- We do chaos -- Expectant -- When the bagpipes end -- Roll tide -- Hurricane Sandy -- Tornado alley -- Typhoon Haiyan -- Signature wounds -- Five-hundred-year flood -- Broken promises -- We're going to wish we had boats -- Clay would be proud."The powerful story of one Marine who found healing and renewed purpose after returning from combat, for himself and tens of thousands of fellow veterans. When Marine sniper Jake Wood came home in 2009 from grueling tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, his country asked yet more of him: to compartmentalize his traumatic memories, put his elite military training on a shelf, and adjust to living outside high-stakes situations. Jake feared he would join the huge population of veterans struggling to reintegrate. Since 2001, more service members have died by suicide than have been killed in Afghanistan. One activity helped Jake and his friend and fellow Marine Clay Hunt find a measure of hope: helping communities after disasters, where their training rendered them unusually effective in high-stakes situations. But as their new organization struggled to get off the ground and the VA tied up Clay's meds in red tape, Clay committed suicide. Reeling, Jake resolved to help as many disaster-affected communities and provide a mission to as many veterans as possible. Over the past 10 years, with no money or experience, he and his team have recruited over 100,000 volunteers to his organization Team Rubicon. It's established a reputation for delivering desperately needed aid faster and better than other organizations hindered by bureaucracy. Racing against the clock, veteran volunteers utilize their military training to untangle complex problems quickly and keep calm under pressure in catastrophic scenarios. What's more, Team Rubicon gives meaningful direction to men and women who need the disaster response work as much as the work needs them. Having a continued purpose--a mission that matters--can be the key to a veteran's successful transition from war to peace."--
