AWTR Show #909: Book: Danger Forward

Can you imagine graduating from West Point right as the Korean War started and then talking your way into getting orders to Korea? Paul Gorman did not only that but became an instrumental strategist in the US Army.  Author Mike Guardia recounts the amazing career of Paul Gorman in the new book, Danger Forward.

A 1950 West Point graduate, Paul Gorman entered the officer ranks during the inaugural years of the Cold War. Like many of his classmates, Gorman served on the frontlines in Korea and Vietnam.  As a young Lieutenant Colonel, he commanded 1-26 Infantry at the Battle of Bong Trang in 1966, where he was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross – the nation’s second highest award for valor.

AWTR Show #907: Arm Me Up Campaign

As military spouses, we understand what it’s like to have to search for a job every couple of years. PCSing is stressful enough, without throwing in a career search at the same time. That’s where the Arm Me Up Career Campaign comes in.

Whether your spouse retired after 20 years or has only been in one day, the Arm Me Up Career Campaign can help you find your next job. Even if you happen to be in a season where you actually aren’t looking for a job – it’s always best to stay workforce ready and there are classes that can help. The Arm Me Up Career Campaign is run by Military Spouse Jobs and serves all branches, family members, caregivers, active, or retired.

AWTR Show #906: Managing Minimalism

Join KateLynn for this week’s Milspouse Empowerment Moment all about managing minimalism. She shares her journey with minimalism and some tips she has picked up along the way. Anyone can go from owning lots of stuff to living minimalistically. KateLynn went from a 1600-square-foot house with a garage to a 300-square-foot camper.

AWTR Show #905: Secure Families Initiative

Are you wondering why you should vote in this year’s election? Secure Families Initiative reminds you that every time you vote, you make a permanent impact (even if your person doesn’t win their election). You shape the voter data in the district where you vote. This says to anyone thinking of running or people thinking of changing policies, that they should care about you because you are the type of person who shows up and votes.

After an anxiety-ridden experience, Sarah Streyder decided she wanted to build an informative and supportive community of military family members, who might go through the same things she did, who could work together to learn more about current events, and who could take action together as voters. Voting is the one time you have control over your life in this military life. And when we better understand the mission (what our sacrifices are contributing to) it helps with morale. So let Secure Families Initiative help you dust off the cobwebs of misunderstanding and take a blowtorch to self-doubt.

AWTR Show #904: Goodbye, Summer Slide

Wanna say Goodbye, Summer Slide? The summer slide is when students forget what they learned the previous year. Amanda gives us tips to help our kids start the school year off on the best foot possible.
