    With the Blue Cord (Infantry Cord) and the mention of the deployment I would guess the sleep log is because he is struggling with anxiety or PTSD. Check in on him every once in a while and find out how he is doing. A friend like that can make all the difference in the world.

    • @Imjeezus
      @Imjeezus Рік тому +86

      As ex-military myself, this is almost certainly why he tracks his sleep. The somnologist or psychologist he saw in relation to his poor sleep probably told him to keep a log of his sleep. This is how they diagnose sleep disorders and in the case of the military, how he would receive disability compensation after retiring.

      @@Imjeezus Retired Army Major here and yep, spot on. Sleep deprivation/sleep log was definitely for annotating this for his VA (Veterans Affairs) claim. I had the same issue (diagnosed with insomnia). It's a real thing. After 3 tours, you don't even realize how bad your sleep is until it's too late.

      Man it's sad to see you guys fight wars you know nothing about and in turn get PTSD and stuff. Trust me other nations don't have these problems as much as the states. Sad to see how much you guys are lied to about wars.

      My Brother did 4 tours during our last war.... they have a program where you go camping and track your sleep.... it is ptsd .... I am adhd, my brother is not.... we both have to track our sleep. Mine is from 20 years of mixing large conerts.... two different circumstances. Hiking the Appalachian trail is the sheet we are probably staring at..

    I remember watching your videos for a full year before I became of detailer. My very first paying customer before I was an actual business had a 2003 Jeep Wrangler that they wanted me to clean up. I ended up doing what you just did and Polished the wheels but they were aluminum so I polish them out and then painted a bunch of different things underneath like the frame in the suspension to try to make it look as good as I possibly could. Wall in the middle of working on the Jeep, the owner went to Hawaii with one of her daughters and ended up passing away in Hawaii she was only 54 years old. She always beg me to become a full-time detailer and said that I was really really good at it and I knew how to talk to people politely and whatnot but I never had the confidence to do so. After she passed away I didn't realize that you never know what can happen. I want on the head and pulled the trigger and I've been doing it since 2017 as an official business. I realize the only true failure is to never do it. So this video definitely is home and brings back the beginning all over again. Thank you for that!

    Hey everyone, thanks so much for the support! Jim's reaction to the detail was priceless. Honored to have been a part of this project. Another milestone was the release of the AMMO Polishing Line. I'm incredibly excited to offer the AMMO polishing system that's been developed and tested in so many of these videos. I truly believe anyone can detail, polish, and enjoy beautifying their vehicles with this system. After the video check it out in the description. Enjoy!

    I’m also in the military and was given a similar “sleep log” from a military sleep therapist. You don’t wake up to fill it out, but if you DO wake up (which is common if you have sleep issues) you fill it out to help document your frequency of sleep issues. Which in turn helps the doctor diagnose how severe your sleep issues are

Needed to be replaced.
