We had been asked to screen the new Netflix docuseries, Medal of Honor, watching “Episode 2: Staff Sgt. Clint Romesha.” I specifically chose Clint Romesha because I’ve read his book, Red Platoon, and was privileged to interview him on Army Wife Talk Radio back in 2016, right around the time of his book release. (Want to check it out? You can find the interview here: AWTR Show 567: Red Platoon, A True Story of American Valor.)
There’s something about the glamorous life of Hollywood that makes most people beg for more. We want to know #AllTheThings and #MeetAllThePeople because, come on, it’s Hollywood!
If you ask me to describe the military spouse life, my responses would vary but they would be primarily positive (sure, I’m biased). I might say it’s informative. Challenging. Never ever boring.

There are few things that will get me up before the sun: my crying baby, saying yet another see-ya-later to my beloved infantryman before a duty-required departure, or in this case, an opportunity to screen the new Warner Bros. movie, “12 Strong,” in Hollywood, California.
On this weeks empowering episode of Army Wife Talk Radio, we’re chatting with guest, Kameryn Futral, who is featured on the National Geographic special, Inside Combat Rescue.
Many of you may have tuned in for the documentary special by National Geographic, Inside Combat Rescue: The Last Stand. The two-hour special featured the brave men and women of the 822nd Base Defense Squadron, better known as Reaper Team 5. These men and women were responsible for providing base security for Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan.
Many of you may have tuned in last Sunday for National Geographic’s premiere of the two-hour special, Inside Combat Rescue: The Last Stand. I was recently invited by National Geographic to represent Army Wife Network at a press junket event at Moody Air Force Base prior to the documentary’s television premiere.
