Tom and Calvin are two Army Infantry veterans who have deployed to Afghanistan. Tom and Calvin speak about troubles in finding a purpose in life after the uniform. Both men found a sense of peace in the unlikely noise filled places of competitive powerlifting. Tom and Calvin speak about feelings of being present and a sense of mindfulness that has helped them feel grounded in life. Both men speak about the bonds they have with each other and how the sport has helped them integrate into an identity beyond the uniform.
