b'In recent years, several new veterans organizations have popped up to help our men and women in uniform transition from the service to civilian life. Instead of providing a place where veterans can get together to drink, these new organizations are looking to offer vets a sense of meaning and mission that they often lose after they hang up their uniform. My guest today is head of one of these new organizations. His name is J.J. Pinter and he\\u2019s the Deputy Director of Team Red, White, and Blue (Team RWB for short) \\u2014 a veterans organization with the goal of getting vets and civilians together to work out.\\nToday on the show, J.J. and I discuss the issues facing vets that Team RWB is trying resolve, such as getting them reintegrated back into their community and staving off feelings of depression. We then discuss why Team RWB decided to make fitness their primary focus and why exercising with other people is one of the best remedies for melancholy and malaise. Finally, J.J. and I talk about why it\\u2019s so important for civilians to interact and connect with our vets and how they can do so through Team RWB.'
