under-fire

Connecting as a couple is always important, but with Mark having just returned from Afghanistan, we're finding it to be a necessity.

I'm feeling overwhelmed and stressed. So to solve that, I'll take a mini vacation (although, for part of it, I'll be working) and try to cross some things off my bucket list.

Mental health can sometimes be a touchy subject for those in the military. But we've come a long way in the last fifty years, with a lot of resources now available that didn't exist before.

In the military, we often don't get to have roots...somewhere that is permanently home. Now, with the prospect of being medically released from the forces, I find that roots are something I'm craving.

During the Olympics, while I worked with the military as part of the security force, my friends and I spoke on a radio show about our experiences in the military. The explanation wasn't as simple as I'd expected.
