Put yourself FIRST with First In Nutrition Because the people that depend on you the most deserve you at your best.
To be able to give your best, you must first allow yourself to become your best. This means prioritizing self-care so that you can not only answer the call when needed, but that you can come home safely and live your best life. Being willing to give so much of your time and effort physically and mentally to your career and those you serve can take a huge toll on overall health, happiness, and your quality of life. We are here to be an outside set of eyes to help ensure that you’re able to put that same level of care back into yourself. Not only through food, but through support from a community of others who know what it takes day in and day out. Our mission is to bring people with a common purpose together in a way that will benefit the entire community and help make positive changes in a culture built on brotherhood and teamwork. A culture we call the First In Family… If you’re Doing the Work to Win the Prize drop a 💪 in the comments! #firstresponders #nutrition #military

Uhhhhhhhhhh what? Why are we putting bandaids on the fact our military family isn’t paid enough? As a veteran and spouse, I am tired of seeing these programs. They don’t address the root causes of food and housing insecurity in the military but they are constantly touted as the solution. Why are we not holding our leaders and representatives accountable? The DOD has the largest budget in the entire government but our military personal are facing food insecurity? Where is the money going? Why are we not fighting to increase our military pay? Why are we allowing our leaders to push our problems onto private organizations to fix when our leaders need to be the ones fixing the problem? As much as I appreciate the hard work, let’s stop putting energy into temporary half measures that don’t actually address our current problems. The big picture is that many military personnel are living paycheck to paycheck wondering how they will get out of debt, how they will find a better opportunity, an how they or their spouses will take up the burden of supplementing thier income. Again these programs do not solve the issues our military personnel face daily yet they are touted by many as the solution. #paynotprograms #payourtroops
In March, I will get to visit Fort Cavazos to see how the Military Family Advisory Network has partnered with the Instacart Health initiative and U.S. Army leadership on post to address food insecurity innovatively. Qualitative research drive's MFAN's creative solutions to the issues faced by military families, and I'm extremely excited to learn more about how this pilot program has been developed. https://lnkd.in/g5wQiezG

Encourager, Writer, Speaker - Using the Power of Story, History, and His Story to Tell the Next Generation Wondrous Things
I had fun writing this article for the Spring 2024 issue of The Old Schoolhouse magazine. As always, I found myself scurrying down a research rabbit hole and discovering something new (to me, at least!) Check out the article's sidebar of #wwii Trivia. Allegedly, the collection of household fats was used to make glycerin for bombs. However, several reports have shown it may actually have been used in making something entirely different! What do you think? https://lnkd.in/e__VUaSe #TellTheNextGeneration #HomeschoolEducation

US Vice President Harris has handed Hamas a gift. Appearing on Sunday's edition of ABC's "This Week", VP Harris declared (https://lnkd.in/dXMWNMzD): "HARRIS: We have been clear in multiple conversations and in every way that any major military operation in Rafah would be a huge mistake. Let me tell you something, I have been studying the maps. There's nowhere for those folks to go. And we're looking at about 1.5 million people in Rafah who were there because they were told to go there, most of them. And so we’ve been very clear that it would be a mistake to move into Rafah with any type of military operation. SCOTT: A mistake, but would there be consequences if he does move forward? HARRIS: Well, we’re going to take it one step at a time, but we’ve been very clear in terms of our perspective on whether or not that should happen. SCOTT: Are you ruling out that there would be consequences from the United States? HARRIS: I am ruling out nothing." Excuse me, Kamala, but how could you possibly make such a declaration when a decision is awaited from Hamas regarding the return of 40 Israeli hostages in exchange for 800 Palestinians held by Israel, including 100 convicted of murder? Has this not emboldened Hamas to reject the US compromise proposal (https://lnkd.in/dkt6ZB66)? Is there anyone capable of reining in her stupidity?
