I have to say that I have really enjoyed the experiences that this site shares with the world. It is important that we record history as it truly happened an all of you out there have done just that - written the history of our generation for our posterity to enjoy and understand who we are and what we do. My story is nothing spectacular and I wouldn't pretend to offer that I have done anything personally of merit. What I can say is that I have been blessed every day of...read more

Over the last two weeks our training at Fort Jackson has been focused on combat operations. Our instructors for this training were senior NCO's lead by a Military Police Captain from the "Combined Arms Division". The CAD instructors are all combat experienced with multiple combat deployments to Afghanistan and Iraq under their belt. The main training focus was on convoy operations. Each student was able to log onto a high-end laptop station and run through a convoy...read more

The development of my leadership philosophy is a work in progress. This work requires more than simply putting words on paper. A good leadership philosophy requires reflective thought and soul-searching analysis. The role of this philosophy is to clarify what I expect from myself and the Soldiers and leaders that follow me. Completing this process in a few months is a foolish thought. I am only at the beginning of this journey, but I have been able to identify a few things that I feel are...read more

I have always stressed to my Soldiers that they should have pride in everything they do. Whether it is in their personnel life or professional life. The Army is a great organization and yes it comes with challenges and hard times, but there are a lot of great times as well. We all should be proud of our accomplishments and we should always strive to be the best we can. We should always be looking to improve ourselves and our work areas everyday. Come into work everyday wanting to learn...read more

Okay world, last update I gave you was my promotion in Dec of 2009. At the time that I got promoted I was nearly eight months pregnant with a baby boy and was counting down the days for him to make his grand entrance to the world. I was very ready to have the baby. I have to say that I was very nervous about the birth and extremely nervous about being a first time mom. I had reservations about being a single parent, but at age 29(my age) I figured I could deal with it. Yes I know that being...read more

Okay world I am still playing catch up and trying to catch you up on the last 10 months of my life. My last post mentioned the struggle to find housing off post so I will take it from there. I eventually found a place to live. I found a cute little sub division in Platte City MO, maybe 20 minutes away from Leavenworth across the Missouri border. So I moved to Platte City, and was assigned to work in the PAC office for HHC USDB. I provided administrative support for Soldiers that worked...read more

Well my time as the 1SG of HHC, 171st Infantry Brigade at Fort Jackson, South Carolina is over and it is time to move to my next assignment. I will be the 1SG of A Co, Brunssum, Netherlands as of July and a new chapter of my life will begin. This assignment will be three years and I will be taking my family as well. We will have the opportunity to travel Europe and my children will be attending an International School, so it will be a huge culture shock for them, but it will be great for them to...read more

Okay World I owe you a continuation of the update that I last posted. After spending about 6 weeks in Charlotte , NC with my MOM I was glad to be making the 16 hour drive to Fort Leavenworth because she was really starting to get on my nerves, not to mention constantly seeing people from my childhood that have not done anything with their lives. I know that there is a recession and all but being unemployed is not an option in this economy. Me and My Sorority Sister Quiana just before leaving...read more

Hey everyone, it has been awhile since I posted something. I am currently attending the DA First Sergeant Course in order to get my "M" identifier. This is a mandatory requirement to be a First Sergeant. The active duty course has gone away since they are teaching some of the course in the Senior Leader's Course (formerly ANCOC). Now to attend the FSC active duty personnel must do it at a reserve or national guard training center. I am attending the course at Ft. McCrady which is right...read more
