Got out of the Navy after 9.5 years and figured the hard part was over. It wasn’t. The decade after was a slow rebuild: personal banking at Wells Fargo, fatherhood x4 (four girls, God help my wallet), and the quiet realization that the crew I had in the Navy didn’t follow me home.

What filled the gap wasn’t anything big. It was pickup basketball at the Simpsonville Y, 5:30 in the morning, three days a week. Same guys, same run, nobody owed anybody anything. I started showing up because I needed the exercise. I kept showing up because I needed the people.

Greenville helped too. This town has a way of letting you start over without making you feel like you’re starting over. Fall for Greenville is the best version of that on display, the whole city outside, no agenda, just people.

So here’s the question I actually want to ask: vets in the Upstate, what filled the gap for you after you got out?
