43INC Speaker Series featuring David Vobora
Mission43 hosted former NFL football player David Vobora. He was a standout football player at the University of Idaho and in the NFL, and after retiring, he discovered his passion for working with veterans and adaptive athletes. He founded the Adaptive Training Foundation where he helps athletes "Defy the Impossible." We had a great conversation with Dave and it was a captivating event that left a lasting impact.

The event wouldn’t be possible without the help of 30 Task Force Mission43 volunteers who ensured all kids made it safely to the finish line and got paired back with their responsible adult party. Thank you to everyone who participated. WE RIDE TOGETHER!!

Idaho After The Military: Jet Boats in Hells Canyon
Owning a jet boat guide company is not the typical next career after the military, but we found someone who did it. Homer Brown returned to his hometown of Whitebird, Idaho after his time in the Army, and now he spends his days on the Snake River running rapids, catching sturgeon, and giving his customers a sense that they are part of his local community. To top it off, he’s also the town mayor.

On May 28th, 2021, the Mission43 team was on-site at Portneuf Valley Brewing networking with local members, distributing packets for the next day’s Miles of Remembrance event. This was an opportunity to learn about career development resources offered by our Employment Team, advance your education through our Education Team, and connect with other like-minded veterans, military spouses, and civilian supporters who all believe there is more to accomplish after the service. We set the conditions, you create opportunities with those you meet!
