Sovereign Vet 🇺🇸

USN Vet, husband & father. Documenting my path to help high-performing disabled vets build a better post-service life. Here to connect with fellow veterans

[Sovereign Vet 🇺🇸 @SovereignVet]

I left the Navy in 2019 and earned my economics degree four years later. Since then, the corporate world has been a total disaster because my service disabilities prevent me from working standard full-time jobs. So I want to start my own business instead. To be completely honest, I have no clear path right now and I do not even know how to start. I will be spending my time researching and learning everything from scratch. This page is my raw diary and I will never delete a single post. Help a veteran out and drop some solid business advice below. If you do not have advice, just follow along and watch a brother refuse to give up.

@JimHendley4NC In the Navy, nobody cares about your title until they see you sweat alongside them. I always respected the leaders who put their egos aside to put in the hard physical work. Real trust is earned on the ground, not handed out on a piece of paper.

[Sovereign Vet 🇺🇸 @SovereignVet]

I completely agree with this sentiment. I spent years in the Navy and the brotherhood we built is something civilians will simply never comprehend. They will never understand what it means to look at the man next to you and know he has your back through hell. Now that I am out, that tight perimeter of trust is reserved strictly for my wife and my kid.

[Sovereign Vet 🇺🇸 @SovereignVet]

My rank in the Navy was way too low to hang around commanders all the time so I did not know them personally. Fortunately the leaders I did serve under were liked by the guys in my circle. But the hard truth of human nature is that a lot of people in uniform still think they are better than everyone else.

@JayJosephVet @CLong158514 Keep these kind of posts going. I'm always looking for veterans to connect with. 🙌

Knowing who you do it for is essential, but you also have to do it for the man in the mirror. I am a disabled Navy vet who survived a suicide attempt after hitting rock bottom. My wife and kid needed me to stand tall, but I had to find the internal discipline to save myself first. If you are not strong on the inside, you cannot protect anyone else.

@HeatherBearAMC That short notice is a brutal pill to swallow for any family. When I deployed in the Navy, leaving my loved ones behind with barely any warning was the hardest part of the job. She might feel like a baby to you, but the pressure of the mission will force her to grow up fast.

@JayCollinsFL As a 100 percent disabled Navy veteran, I know firsthand that the VA is heavily broken. Empty gratitude does not fix the physical and mental toll of service. We need massive accountability right now because our families deserve a system that actually keeps its promises.

Years ago, I stood on that exact edge in total isolation and almost ended my life. Surviving that darkness taught me that rock bottom is just a raw baseline to rebuild your foundation. Right now, your brain is lying to you and making a temporary pain feel permanent. Your future family needs you to stay in the fight, so just focus on winning the next hour.

@SenSchumer Remember 9/11?

[Sovereign Vet 🇺🇸 @SovereignVet]

It is infuriating to watch the government fund resources for illegal immigrants while citizens are drowning in bills. I am a disabled Navy vet and my family feels the sting of inflation every single month. Democrats need to stop taking care of outsiders and start looking out for the people who actually defended this nation.

[Sovereign Vet 🇺🇸 @SovereignVet]

Most of those friends do not start anything because they are comfortable being average. The hard truth I learned after wearing the Navy uniform is that people love to see you try but they do not want to see you actually win. They are secretly hoping your fourteen ideas fail so you stay down at their level.

@PISDI94_96 Hope you get it brother 🙏

@JoelFeldmanPhD I regret not taking it seriously my first year.

[Sovereign Vet 🇺🇸 @SovereignVet]

@AzPetrich You have never done a single thing to actually serve this nation. I wore the Navy uniform and I know that riding the coattails of your uncle's military service means absolutely nothing. Keep your political bitterness away from a sacred place meant to honor real heroes.
