If I come in, and you're an employer, and I say, 'Well, I was a sniper in the Marine Corps. Do you have any sniper positions open?' 'No.' But if I told you that I was good at communication, good at leadership under stressful environments, team management, personnel management, leadership, being prompt, are stuff that I can bring to the table.
If me believing helping others should come before Instagram posts is 'stupid'... you got me right.
I live by honor. I live by integrity. I live by 'never quit.' It's not a cool T-shirt phrase for me.
I just try to go out and help others, to do whatever I can to make a difference.
These guys that were standing up to fight, for the most part, had pride in their country, and they wanted to do the best, and they wanted to go out and fight, and I was as close to these Afghans as I was to the Marines.
If ISIS is using social media to track me, that's a dream come true in my book. These guys are a bunch of bullies that just prey on the weak.
It doesn't matter how big of a company you have: I always tell people that you are one job away from being broke. And if you don't live that way, you'll be broke.
I grew up on a farm, and I think I would have come back and done something like that. It's an honest way of life, a conservative way of life, simple way of life.
I know how critical that is, having a mother and father involved in your life, and I'm going to continue to be the most involved father hopefully that you'll ever see.
A sniper's primary goal is to eliminate ground threats for U.S. guys on the ground. Is that what a coward is? A person whose goal is to save the lives of his warrior brothers?
My story is one of millions, and the others aren't often told.
I always spoke my mind. I didn't go with the flow.
I hate it. I resent it. I refuse to tell anybody that I am a Medal of Honor recipient. I hate it.
I'm trying to raise awareness for veterans.
Chelsea Manning has a platform to serve herself, but many veterans don't even get medical treatment when they need it.
The standard Bristol set at being a mother is high for a woman to have to step into. She, as a mom, is crushing it.
I'm never gonna date again, because I can't imagine meeting a woman that's good enough for my daughters.
I'm just gonna focus on raising my girls forever, and that's gonna be it.
I will tell you, I don't miss me and Bristol fighting, but coming home to an empty house every other week, you walk in there, and it's a reminder of the failure of the marriage.
I understand how important it is for both parents to be in a child's life.
