Week 3 Kickoff
Subject: SITREP: Advanced Intel & Self-Compassion
Header: WEEK 3 – INTEL & SELF-COMPASSION

Team,

By now, the "noise" should be getting quieter. This week, we’re gathering Deep Intel.

Self-compassion isn't about being "soft." It’s about maintenance. You wouldn't run a vehicle into the ground without oil; don't do it to your mind. We are looking at the strengths you brought home from service and retraining the habits that no longer serve the mission.

Weekly Objectives:

Define Yourself: Identify who you are outside of the uniform/rank.

Retrain the Critic: Replace one "beat-down" thought with a mission-ready one.

Quiet Observation: 10 minutes of silence. No phone. No distractions.

Stay vigilant.

Jaclyn Michele support from a spouse can seem like a given but the way I have been able to lean on and in turn be leaned on for support is what makes me very grateful for her support and presence as my partner in life and the other half of parenting Emilee as she continues to grow and become a blend of us both! Ty for being you and being here with me on the journey of life and parenting a toddler in todays time and day!

As veterans, we spend our careers trained to watch for external threats. But the hardest watch is often the one we stand inside our own heads—especially when the calendar tells us we should be happy, coupled up, and celebrating.

This Valentine’s Day, War We Are Resilient is changing the ROE (Rules of Engagement). Instead of looking outward for validation, we are turning the patrol inward. We discuss the intersection of service, identity, and romance. Why do so many of us feel we don’t "deserve" happiness? Why do we self-sabotage when things get quiet?

Whether you are a battle-buddy couple thriving together, or a single veteran dodging the holiday like it’s indirect fire, this episode is a field guide to being content in your own skin. Because the war might end, but the resilience has to last a lifetime.

The CAV Book
A Guidebook for Therapeutic Artmaking for Veterans, Those Currently Serving, and Military-Connected Populations

The CAV Book is a bridge from CAV sessions to home life to aid in improving veteran well-being through arts-based exercises infused with social work and art therapy practices, veteran narratives, and supplemental veteran-centric wellness resources. It’s a guidebook for therapeutic artmaking for veterans, those currently serving, and military-connected populations. This book is a way to use art at home and self-regulate in a healthy and positive way. CAV Books are accompanied with art supplies (oil pastels, colored pencils, and charcoals). The CAV Book can enhance resiliency and help facilitate the discovering and developing of skills to successfully navigate challenges that veterans face.

No two journeys are the same
When it comes to everyday wellbeing, no two paths are alike. This is why we believe that true healing only begins with the ability to meet people at their level of understanding and belief system

WEEK 2 – FORTIFY & REGULATE

Team,

You’ve completed the initial recon. Now, we dig in. Week 2 is about Fortification.

Incoming "fire" usually comes in the form of negative self-talk or emotional spikes. This week, we don’t just take the hits—we reframe them. If an emotion spikes, name it. If a thought is "toxic," neutralize it.

Weekly Objectives:

Tactical Reframing: Turn "I’m failing" into "I’m navigating an obstacle."

Check Your Six: Reach out to one battle buddy this week. No one stands watch alone.

Body Scans: Conduct 3-minute physical checks to locate where you're carrying tension.

Hold the line.

Out.
