Send us Fan MailMeet Lt. Col Brian Slade, a former enlisted Army diesel mechanic who later found himself flying Apaches in Afghanistan as part of the global war on terror. He eventually transferred over to the Air Force, becoming an HH60 Rescue Pilot. Throughout his journey, he learned how to cope with trauma and prioritize his mental health by preparing for stressors rather than just reacting to them. In honor of Men's mental health month, we had the privilege of sitting down with Lt. Col Slade to gain insight into his experiences and learn valuable tools for dealing with life's challenges. Our conversation with him was enlightening and informative.For those interested in delving deeper into his story, we highly recommend reading Lt. Col Brian Slade's book, "Cleared Hot."
