Prior to RWA, I talked a lot about shopping. I posted pictures of the chaos that was my bathroom as I packed (or at least attempted to). And there were innumerable chats about how to prevent shoes from tearing up one’s feet. So in the flavor of #RWAsurvivaltips, here...

Holidays in Iraq are much like any other day. The biggest difference is what the chow hall does to celebrate. I distinctly remember walking through the chow hall on COS Marez up in Mosul and getting choked up on Memorial Day because they’d had such a beautiful...

In one week, I will be at RWA 11 in NYC. I know, I know, the conference starts on Tuesday. Unfortunately in my other life, I have to give what’s known as the quarterly training brief, where I brief my brigade commander what my training plan for the quarter will be....

As much as I’m online, I’m still a very simple girl when it comes to finding people online. I use Google. I don’t necessarily look for people’s dot com address but when I’m looking for writers, I tend to think I’ll find at least something out on the regular, open...

So this year will be my 2nd RWA National Conference. For those of you who remember last year’s freak out, it was kind of a BFD (big F(**ng deal) for me to go from soldier to girly girl. I didn’t know what to wear. I had major shoe trauma. I didn’t know if anyone was...
