Ep 229: Empowering Veterans Through Jiu-Jitsu and Brotherhood: The Journey of Jarek Fry and the Veteran Bushido Brotherhood

After answering a calling to join the United States Marines in the heat of the Global War on Terror, Jeric Fry embarked on an unreal journey. From his deployments to the most active combat zones our generation have seen to his experience leading one of the most prestigious institutions in the military, his career was nothing short of exceptional. <br/><br/>However, he found himself lost when he decided to step away from the military and reenter civilian life. Jeric realized that he had no direction, no sense of purpose and no calling. That's what led him to Brazilian jiu-jitsu. <br/><br/>Through another equally remarkable set of circumstances, Jeric found himself with a new calling- to find a tribe for every single veteran. A way for them to be included, a place for them to find themselves again, and this was the beginning of the Veteran Bushido Brotherhood. <br/><br/>https://veteranbushidobrotherhood.com/ is a site you need to check out and see exactly what Jeric and his project are about. <br/><br/>#usmc  #onesready #podcast <br/><br/>00:00 ATAClete for all you need live on onesready.com//18A Fitness code 1READY<br/>04:18 Jeric Fry and his intro, finding the Marines, and impressions at Perris Island<br/>27:22 Graduating the Crucible, infantry school, first assignments and deployment <br/>49:00 Experiencing the first losses, Bangin in Sangin, and going to Infantry Officer School<br/>58:00 Trying to fit in, losing your way and finding yourself through BJJ <br/>1:11:00 Starting Veteran Bushido, Finding Faith, and moving on to help others<br/><br/><br/>Don't forget to subscribe to the Podcast on your favorite player! http://bit.ly/2OG2Olf<br/>Have a question?  Email us at info@onesready.com<br/>Follow us on Instagram http://bit.ly/2OeNoFI<br/><br/>As always, THANK YOU for your support, we truly appreciate it.<br/><br/>The views and opinions expressed by the OnesReady team and all guests are those of the team and themselves, and do not reflect the official policy or position of the DoD.
