Your Final Marching Orders | Ritchie Thomas | TEDxMariettaSquare

Your Final Marching Orders Ritchie is an honorary ATLien with a salt-water heart still in Charleston, SC. He was fortunate enough to have put on the military uniform for 6 years, where he was trained to push himself and others while learning a great sense of inner pride in belonging to something that was deeper than the dollar. He’s survived through a combat zone in Afghanistan, jumped out of airplanes, hit 15 countries (35 if we count Epcot), & survived 3 hurricanes. His gift is helping military servicemembers grow and helping them adjust from a soldier’s mindset to a business professional’s mindset. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
