Wake up, survive, go to bed -Jason Mow, retired police officer and defense contractor

Jason Mow began serving his community in the late 90s with a local police department before making the hard decision to leave policing. He found his way to the State Department as a defense contractor and spent thirteen months in Afghanistan teaching police tactics to the local police force. At the conclusion of his service in Afghanistan, Jason returned to Arizona and went to work for Phoenix Police Department where he went back to his roots as a patrol officer. One night as Jason was about to end his shift, he heard of another officer needing assistance. As Jason gave chase, he suffered critical injuries to his legs which put him in bed for the better part of three years. Jason scratched out a mantra while he lay in bed:

Wake up, survive, go to bed.

Jason's Warrior Ethos guided him through a long and challenging period in his life, as it can guide all of us. Line Seven reminds us that our minds are our most powerful weapons.
