    Logistics in Iraq and Afghanistan – A Perspective from the US Army Command and General Staff College – DoD Roundtable

    April 30, 2010 /

    The Army Command and General Staff College at Ft Leavenworth was the site of the Blogger’s Roundtable interview concerning the challenges of logistics in Afghanistan and Iraq. The transportation and supply and re-supply of essential war materials and comforts such as mail and the movement of military personnel had similarities in both theatres and some very different challenges as well! We met with several students of the college with very recent experience in either Iraq, Afghanistan and in some cases both! The CGSC is a selective school for 0-4s (Majors/Lt Commanders) with all the services represented. On this Roundtable call were Army logistics officers, a Navy Lieutenant Commander logistics officer…

    Help for the Stresses of Military Life – FOCUS (Families Over Coming Under Stress) – DoD Roundtable

    April 28, 2010 /

    I have a love for military families! It came from so many years of observing them enjoy life around the globe! Young spouses, children, teenagers, couples, the entire spectrum have a zest for life! For my kids they became the aunts/uncles and cousins that always seemed so far away! The good neighbors that watched our pets while we were on leave. Military kids are not really “brats” but they like that moniker I think. It is a bit edgy! But, they know how to stand for the national anthem and when to be respectful. Military families serve our country in many unique ways and sometimes due to this service they…

    Does the Army have a Problem with Warrior Transition Units? – DoD Roundtable

    April 27, 2010 /

    I think this was one of the most interesting DoD Roundtables in which I have participated as I met with Lt General Eric Schoomaker, the Army Surgeon General and Brigadier General Gary Cheek, Commander, Warrior Transition Command to talk about the Warrior Transition care. The care of wounded warriors (physically, spiritually or emotionally) is always a hot button issue for Americans. The super efforts of the Army to care for their own can sometimes fall victim to easy criticism and of course, some care may need attention to make it even better. It appeared that these two leaders wanted to insure that the care being given was right for the…

    Angst and Insecurities

    April 27, 2010 /

    There is a bit of teenage-angst in my house right now. *J*, 16 years old, driver’s license, girlfriend, soccer, nearly-straight A’s, lots of friends from school, three parents that LOVE him, (I’m step-mom),want to give him his space and yet recognize that sometimes too much space isn’t good either. He’s not quite sure what to do with the raging hormones, the insecurities, the pull between friends, two families, and self. Mom is a single-mom.  It is just Mom and *J* in that household. *J* is treated a little bit older, I suspect; perhaps more of a confidante. Dad is a dad of three sons and soon to be four, plus his lovely bride…

    Tasty Tuesday: Rhubarb / Strawberry Crunch Reduced Sugar

    April 27, 2010 /

    It is getting to be close to Farmer’s Market time, a.k.a. rhubarb time. I am really believe that the snows are behind us. My proof of this is 1 May when the markets open. One can find asparagus and rhubarb. This is living. Both have long stalks that stick up out of the ground that announce “Hey! I made it! Your turn!” So, taking my turn with the rhubarb, I like to pair it with strawberries – totally sweet and sour. And I like my rhubarb to taste a tad sour… not overly sugared. Rhubarb / Strawberry Crunch welcomes the taste buds to do a spring dance right there in…

    Earth Day – Making Army Boots More Friendly for Our Environment – DoD Roundtable

    April 25, 2010 /

    Earth Day – Making Army Boots More Friendly for Our Environment It was a beautiful day in Michigan on Earth Day this year! Sunny, 70 degrees, the Redbuds were out in full bloom, the air was fresh, grass was green, we have vegetables in the garden coming up and I was talking to Mr. Tad Davis, Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army for Environment, Safety and Occupational Health. We were discussing the Army’s Earth Day activities and their “Army Go Green Initiatives”. We were meeting with the DoD Bloggers Roundtable while he was visiting Ft Bragg and he explained that he had just left Butler Elementary School after meeting with…

    The Land of Fire and Ice Disrupts Air Traffic – DoD Roundtable

    April 21, 2010 /

    We were stationed in Iceland, the Land of Fire and Ice, for almost three years and saw the island at its best and worst at times. It was windy, cold, dark in the winter, required handrails on sidewalks due to ice and wind but it was a great tour! The people were helpful, liked Americans and treated us well. The land was always exciting with new adventures to see such as waterfalls, geysers, hot water lakes (such as the Blue Lagoon), beautiful geothermal heated swimming pools and much more! We visited Vestmannaeyjar (the home of Free Willy fame) and the ground was so hot in places the locals claimed they…

    Earth Day 2010

    April 20, 2010 /

    I will tell you I’m not a ‘tree-hugger’. I spend probably too much money on pre-packaged foods. I always seem to forget to bring my own environmentally-friendly bags to stores – even though I do have a few of them. I don’t drive an oversized-SUV but my smaller size mini-van isn’t exactly the most economical vehicle out there. But I do care. I do know that I can make a difference. I am not going to change the hole in our ozone layer. I’m not going to save the world with some major campaign about how we are all doomed if we don’t make a change. I can hardly say…
