“As a twenty-year active-duty Navy Corpsman, I’ve seen my fair share of organizations stepping up to support military members. But I’ve never experienced anything quite like this. This program was life-changing in every sense: mentally, physically, and spiritually. . . The impact on me was profound; it’s something I’ll carry with me forever.”
“They’re fantastic. . . In 22 years of active duty service I’ve never seen such a wonderful resource to get soldiers away from the unit but still bonding and getting that cohesion that you don’t normally get until you’re kind of under stressful situations or a hard core training event. but this is the fun part of making friends and sharing testimony. You guys are so fantastic and I’m happy to be here and blessed to be a part of it.“
“As a man who attempts but fails many times to maintain a relationship with God, over 6 years and 4 deployments in the Marine Corps, life can be hard and maintaining that relationship can be especially hard. SSO provided an opportunity to renew my relationship with the Lord that I wasn’t even aware I needed until today. As simple as I can put it, what they do is awesome. . . I am extremely happy I had the opportunity to attend.”
“SSO was amazing. They provided useful tools for spiritual resiliency and fitness. They allowed the opportunity for people to accept God or recommit to faith. The conversations had ignited a light in me… but the outdoor activities were a bonus.”
“For years the military has searched for a way to promote resiliency among junior personnel. Rick Wolf and his team have cracked the code. This program supported hundreds of young Marines in my unit and had a tremendous impact. . . .I cannot thank the SSO team enough for what they meant to my unit.”
