FOG OF WAR
“The great uncertainty of all data in war is a peculiar difficulty, because all action must, to a certain extent, be planned in a mere twilight, which in addition not infrequently — like the effect of a fog or moonshine — gives to things exaggerated dimensions and unnatural appearance.” – Carl von Clausewitz (Prussian military analyst)
My life upon returning from a “war zone” has changed dramatically, while over there I knew what I had to do that day that week and what I needed to do to get myself home. Taking everything one day at a time, with [...]

I left the Navy on August 14, 2007 after six years of active duty in the Post-9/11 world. As I would learn the hard way over the next twelve months, this was exceptionally bad timing to venture out into U.S. economy as a civilian.
Upon leaving active duty, I went to work for myself as a freelance web site developer and consultant. My position in the web development market was unique in that my operating overhead was very low, which allowed me to take on small projects with budgets that were considered unattractive by advertising agencies and commercial web development companies—or [...]

Operation Purple Camps for Military Kids
“Can I still go if my favorite color is not purple?” This is one of the dozens of questions I answered for my nine-year-old son as we prepared for his FIRST camp experience, his first overnight stay with anyone who was not a blood relative, in fact. He was thrilled; I was worried … the story of my life as a mom of two active boys.
I had done my research on camps in Texas, where we currently live, and knew there were a lot of great options out there. Our Cub Scout pack as well [...]

How to use Chapter 35 Dependents Educational Assistance.
This past fall was my third year in dealing with Chapter 35. So I’ve been around the block with this stuff, and there’s stuff I learned along the way that can help others. I had one child get an associates degree at a 2 year community college, and this past fall, transfer to a 4 year school to complete his bachelor’s degree. Youngest will graduate high school in May, and is already enrolled in tech school for the fall.
If I can offer some valuable advice to anyone wanting to use it, here [...]

They say that those who served in World War II were the Greatest Generation. These men and women sacrificed for their country on the front lines, in American factories, and even in their homes during wartime. Those who served in the military were rewarded for their service by the passage of the Montgomery GI Bill. And in turn, the GI Bill changed our country forever, giving those who had proven their sense of duty to the nation an opportunity to enjoy the benefit of an education. It is possible that with the institution of the Post-9/11 GI Bill, that America [...]

Personal Finance Story: Jobs and Education
Rewind to right after our vows in June. Paul and I both had excellent jobs. I was lucky enough to get a co-op (internship) at a great company in our hometown. I finished my Associate Degree in June right as we were married. I decided that I wanted to start my career. I knew I would find a job, so I wasn’t concerned about finishing with my Bachelor’s at that point.
Oh, did I mention I had my college completely paid for and would have had my entire four years paid [...]

Thru the AFB Education program I was able to receive my BA degree. Retired and used it to become a high school teacher. Command (SAC) support for ongoing education was terrific. I was in a car pool with the March AFB Education Officer (Civilian) so was encouraged to continue. Ended up with credits from seven colleges and when overseas some from the Maryland U profs-. I was approved to go for residence credit and BGE at Omaha U. Retired four years latter and began teaching high school a month later. This opportunity really changed my life and I have hopes [...]
