Transitioning out of the military isn’t just about a new job — it’s about rediscovering your identity, redefining success, and finding purpose again. In this compelling episode of the VET S.O.S. podcast, we sit down with Lacy Gunnoe, a U.S. Air Force veteran and Director of Veteran Wellbeing at Camp Southern Ground, founded by Zac Brown of the Zac Brown Band.

Lacy unpacks the three core veteran programs at Camp Southern Ground:

✅ Warrior Week – An immersive, peer-led transition program using Gallup’s CliftonStrengths to help you build a post-military life around your purpose, values, and well-being.

✅ Warrior PATH – A groundbreaking program rooted in post-traumatic growth that offers healing and hope for those battling invisible wounds.

✅ Warrior Family Camp – A reconnective experience for military families that blends fun, emotional wellness, and quality time together.

Hear real-life success stories, like Carson—a young veteran who left Warrior Week and became a certified dog handler within months.

🎯 These programs are free to veterans. Travel, meals, lodging—covered.
