ABOUT SGT Q
Speaker, Author, Teacher, PTSD Ambassador
Aaron is a Marine 1st Anglico veteran who specialized in communication as a forward observer. He holds billets for Naval Weapons Security Management and Close Combat Instructor. He received badges for expert marksmanship and master parachutist. He is the owner of Reliable Commercial Cleaning and founder of the veteran non profit Q Missions. He received the 2016 Distinguished Service to Veterans award and the 2018 Superior Award from the Department of Veterans Affairs. An was awarded the 2017 Hometown Hero award from Kiro7 news.
Sgt Q traded the battlefield for the mission field and found healing and purpose through building homes and churches, feeding children, and supplying precious hope to struggling communities worldwide. God then called him to form QMissions, a pathway for veterans—Sgt Q’s fellow warfighters—to replace the battle scars of their minds with the joy of serving.

Letter from the family:
Hello, we write this letter to you with a lot of Hope in our hearts that you’ll be able to help us. We are a large family of 7 and right now, the only one who can work is my husband. With my husband’s salary, we are able to buy food, school fees, our land payment, and not much more. We are living in a small trailer that someone blessed us with here on our property. The trailer has two small rooms and a bathroom. We simply do not have the funds to expand our home on our own. We are a family who loves God very much and with the little that we do have, we always try to bless those in need around us. Our family’s dream is to someday be able to build a place just for the people we are trying to help and serve. We believe God has put you in our path so that we could be blessed with a home. We would love to bless our kids with their own space. Thank you!

Reflecting upon our experiences is a powerful catalyst for personal growth and transformation. When we take a close look at what went right and what went wrong, we equip ourselves with invaluable insights. Those who embrace self-assessment embark on a journey of change and growth, breaking free from the confines of their current mental state. Let us not fear examining our paths, for it is through this introspection that we find the strength to evolve and create a brighter, healthier, and more resilient future.

When we set out to achieve our goals and reach our dreams, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed by the enormity of the journey ahead. However, it's important to remember that every journey begins with a single step, and that by taking things one step at a time, we can slowly but surely make progress towards our desired destination.

Many people believe that failure is a negative thing, something to be avoided at all costs. We fear failure because we associate it with weakness, incompetence, or shame. However, failure is an inevitable part of life, and it is how we respond to failure that determines our ultimate success.
When we ask ourselves if we failed or if we quit, we are acknowledging the fact that failure is not the only reason for not achieving our goals. Sometimes we may give up before we have even tried, or we may abandon our efforts when things get difficult. In such situations, we may feel like we have failed, but in reality, we have quit.
Failure is an opportunity to learn and grow, to discover what works and what doesn't. It can teach us resilience and determination, and it can help us develop the skills we need to succeed. Quitting, on the other hand, robs us of these opportunities. It prevents us from learning and growing, and it can limit our potential for success.
So, the next time you face a setback, ask yourself, "Did I fail, or did I quit?" If you failed, embrace it as an opportunity to learn and grow. If you quit, recognize that you have the power to choose differently next time. Reframe your understanding of failure as a necessary step on the path to success, and don't be afraid to try again.
Small towns are the best!
I ran into the Mucklelshoot Veterans group tonight in @enumclawchamber
I have been working on a mental health program with them for their 20 anniversary Veterans Powwow.
The @seahawkscommunity Taskforce 12 with @marathon_man_1983 leading the charge has dedicated our support for their big event.
This Veterans Powwow is the largest in the country, and this year, it will be even bigger with a host drum and resource fair.
Don't miss it
As someone who has traveled around the world speaking about mental health, I can tell you firsthand about the incredible value of having someone come and teach about this topic. Mental health is an incredibly important subject that affects every single one of us. Yet, despite its prevalence, mental health is still a taboo topic in many places around the world.
When someone comes to speak about mental health, they bring knowledge, experience, and understanding. They can provide valuable insights into the causes of mental health issues, the symptoms and warning signs, and the best practices for treating and managing mental health conditions.
This is especially important because mental health issues are often misunderstood and stigmatized. Many people who are struggling with mental health issues may feel ashamed or embarrassed to seek help, which can lead to further isolation and suffering. But when we have someone come and speak about mental health, we can start to change the conversation and create a more supportive and compassionate environment.
Mental health speakers can also provide practical tools and strategies for managing mental health issues just as I do when I speak. They can teach techniques for managing stress, coping with anxiety and depression, and improving overall mental well-being. These skills can be incredibly empowering for individuals who are struggling with mental health issues, as well as for their friends and family members who want to support them.
Ultimately, having someone come and speak about mental health is a powerful way to educate, inspire, and empower people to take charge of their own mental health.
You can book me to come to speak or teach on how the brain operates, and how to overcome internal struggles. I can also recommend other speakers who might be better suited to your event. Messaging me on Facebook or use my email sgtq@qactual.com

Teaching the next generation of young leaders.
#SgtQ #FVCLife #leaders #nextgenleaders
Let's talk about the transformative power of helping others. It suggests that by focusing on the needs of others and taking actions to alleviate their pain and struggles, we can experience positive changes in our own brain chemistry.
Research has shown that acts of kindness and altruism can trigger the release of neurotransmitters such as dopamine, oxytocin, and endorphins, which are associated with feelings of happiness, pleasure, and well-being. These neurotransmitters can help to reduce stress and anxiety and promote a sense of connection and social bonding.
Furthermore, when we help others, we can experience a sense of purpose and meaning that can boost our overall mental and emotional well-being. By focusing on the needs of others, we can shift our attention away from our own problems and challenges, which can help to reduce feelings of self-centeredness and isolation.
In essence, the act of helping others can be seen as a form of self-care that has both psychological and physiological benefits. By engaging in acts of kindness and compassion, we can create a positive feedback loop that reinforces our desire to help others and strengthens our own resilience and capacity for empathy.
By recognizing the value of altruism and compassion, we can cultivate a greater sense of purpose and meaning in our lives and contribute to a more compassionate and empathetic society.

Opportunities are not always easy to come by. Sometimes, it can feel like we're waiting for the perfect opportunity to fall into our laps, but it never comes. We might feel frustrated and stuck, but the truth is, we have the power to create our own opportunities. As the saying goes, "If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door."
Building a door means taking control of our own destiny and creating opportunities for ourselves. It means being proactive instead of reactive and not waiting for things to happen to us. It's about being resourceful and finding a way to make things work, even if the path isn't always clear.
There are many ways to build a door and create opportunities for ourselves. Here are a few strategies to get started:
1. Expand your network: One of the best ways to create opportunities is to expand your network. Attend events, conferences, and networking events to meet new people and build relationships. You never know who you might meet and what opportunities might arise from those connections.
2. Learn new skills: Learning new skills can open up new doors and create opportunities. Take a course or attend a workshop in an area that interests you. This can help you develop new skills and knowledge that can be applied in your personal or professional life.
3. Create your own projects: If you're not finding the opportunities you want, create your own projects. Start a side hustle, launch a blog or YouTube channel, or start a community group around a cause that you're passionate about. This can help you build your skills and experience, and create opportunities for yourself.
4. Volunteer: Volunteering is a great way to build relationships, gain experience, and create opportunities for yourself. Look for organizations that align with your values and volunteer your time and expertise.
The key to building a door is to take action and not wait for opportunities to come to you. By being proactive and creating your own opportunities, you can open up new doors and achieve your goals. Remember, the power to create opportunities is in your hands.
