Welcome to GY6
We're Andy & Beth Jenkins. GY6 is one of the initiatives of LifeLift, a 501c3 launched in 2025.Â
One of the goals of LifeLift = to develop healthy leaders who "deal with their stuff" so they can get on mission and serve at an even higher level. GY6 does this for our heroes, that is, for our veterans, first responders, and active military.Â
Though you may see us on the stage or out front, we're supported by the entire LifeLift team as well as a growing cohort of VSOs, municipalities, churches, nonprofits, businesses, and others...Â
The Name
When the first U.S. pilots flew into war, over a century ago, they could not see behind them— only ahead of them (the 12 o’clock position) and only to the side (the 9 and 3 positions). They could not see their “6.”
But other pilots could, and they would effectively tell the man ahead of them, “I’ve got your back. I’m looking out for you. Nothing will harm you as long as I’m here. I’ve got your six.”
This mantra has carried forth to other military personnel, law enforcement officers, and heroes of all kinds. The inference is the same: you’re covered.
