“I’ve heard from a lot of our fellow veterans here in Montana and elsewhere across the country over the past few days. We’re pissed off. We’re disgusted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m with you. The last week, especially, pissed me off too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re a veteran out there who is ticked off, I’d just encourage you- don’t hold it in. Get it off your chest. Meet a fellow veteran for coffee or a beer- do something other than just remaining in isolation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was lucky enough to be able to burn off some steam in a boxing class over the weekend at the APC gym in Billings. The Adaptive Performance Center is a veterans only gym<\/a> that is working to use exercise, fitness, and camaraderie to try and tackle the veterans suicide epidemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Fox News<\/a>, calls in to the Veterans Crisis Line are up in recent days:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The Veterans Crisis Line is reporting an average daily volume increase of 6% for calls, 83% for texts, and 40% for chat messages since Aug. 13.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

If you’re a veteran who is struggling, or just simply is looking for more ways to get connected in the community- I’d encourage you to check out some of the incredible programs right here in Montana. Warriors & Quiet Waters<\/a> gets wounded warriors and their families out fly fishing. Horses Spirits Healing<\/a> near Billings gets you out working with horses. And at the APC you can get back in the fight- literally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had never boxed much before in my life, but when the gyms shut down during the pandemic (the APC was actually able to stay open) I started doing online “fight” classes in my garage. I got hooked. It’s a great workout, especially for those of you with bad backs that can’t run and do the cardio like you used to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
