After 16 years in the U.S. Army, Jose Cinco medically retired as a Sergeant First Class. He had deployed to Iraq, led soldiers, and helped develop more than 75 noncommissioned officers. What would leadership, service, and camaraderie look like in civilian life?
Join The MisFitNation as Jose takes us from growing up fishing in San Diego to serving in Iraq in 2005 with the 3rd Battalion, 13th Field Artillery Regiment. He’ll talk about what he learned as an Army instructor and platoon sergeant, why he chose to speak openly about his experience with depression, and how his love of the outdoors became a way to connect with fellow veterans.
Today, Jose is the Executive Director of Warriors For Freedom Foundation and Head of Brand Relations for KastKing. We’ll explore how gatherings like Warrior Breakfast and Fishing for Freedom give veterans a place to meet people, reconnect, and find support. We’ll also get into what veteran isolation can look like after military transition and what friends and family can do to help someone stay connected.
