Dear, Field Problems:
My service member has been experiencing short-term memory issues in conjunction with anxiety. These can be symptoms of TBI, PTSD, several mental health concerns, or sometimes side effects of medications. How does the service member find help, especially when he or she is concerned that it might affect their career?

A friend messaged me and asked me if I could find her late husband’s boot on Fort Hood. The Fisher House was holding its first Race to Remember. The race route was lined with a boot for every service member who has died or been killed since 2001. It was a powerful sight to see the line of boots that seemed to go on forever.
The new year has been rung in, and the resolutions are in full effect. I have made my resolutions for a better and improved Amanda in 2015. I have also made a list of resolutions I know I won’t be keeping. I would love to keep these wonderful resolutions, but I won’t, and that is perfectly and wonderfully okay.
The new year is officially underway, and I don’t know about you, but for me, there is nothing like being wrapped in the cocoon of winter to make a person contemplate the change spring can bring.
I think most people I know have gotten the idea out of their head that somehow, magically, on January 1 they would be able to make resolutions which would carry them through the next 12 months.
Do you ever long to take a step back in time? This was the feeling we experienced as we drove onto Jekyll Island, Georgia. From the moment we glimpsed the Jekyll Island Club and Historic District and the striking natural beauty of the island, I knew we had found a very special place. The more I learned of the history of Jekyll Island, the more I knew we were not alone in our discovery. Teeming with interesting history, this island’s colorful background made for an enchanting visit.
Depending on where you live, there’s a good chance you won’t have to leave the state to find a super low-cost, amazing vacation spot. I’m talking about our national parks, most of which offer a range of activities, from just plain fun, to educational, to knock-your-socks-off gorgeous hikes in nature. Whether you’re planning to spend your whole vacation in one place or want to explore several locations, the National Park Foundation and the National Park Service can help you find a park that suits your needs.
