Commander Amy Forsythe, a former enlisted Marine who transitioned to being an Officer in the Navy Reserves.

Amy's journey is not just a story of personal achievement but a roadmap for military transition, offering invaluable insights into the challenges and opportunities that lie beyond the uniform. Amy's narrative begins in the heart of Northern California, where her early life set the stage for a distinguished career in the Marine Corps and the Navy. Her service as a combat correspondent took her to the front lines, with 2 deployments to Iraq, 3 to Afghanistan, as well as Niger, Poland, Germany, Sri Lanka, and Malaysia, where she honed her skills in storytelling, capturing the essence of military life and the spirit of those who serve. Her transition from the Marine Corps to active Reserve and a civilian career and then a commission in the Navy Reserves is a testament to her resilience, adaptability, and the unwavering spirit of a veteran determined to continue serving her community through her work and the "Heroes Live Here" book she authored and published. Throughout the conversation, Amy touches on pivotal moments of her military career, her passion for storytelling, and her commitment to helping fellow veterans navigate the often-daunting path of reintegration into civilian life. Her experiences as a Marine, Navy officer, and combat correspondent are not just career highlights but chapters of a larger story that resonates with many in the military and first responder communities.

The vertical launchers are eight cell, there eight cell, launchers that provide the SM-3 intercepts for the Ballistic Missile Defense.” “The construction here is ongoing and probably will be completed sometime in 2020.” “There are teams from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Naval Facility Engineering and also Missile Defense Agency that are working hard to get the base completed. It's going through a very meticulous process. It's very complicated, they are doing their due diligence to do it right and make sure it's read to go in 2020.” “The Sailors are really enjoying Poland. Right now, they're living in town in apartments until we can move onto the base.

It will have an MWR and will have a movie theater, a game room. As well as a fitness center, galley and a medical department attached to the multipurpose facility, which they will live in.”
 “Now, they're enjoying living in Slupsk and in a community called Ustka, which is near the coast. It's summertime in Poland and it's very, very popular place to go and everybody I think is enjoying the hospitality here in Poland.” “They're able to travel not only in Poland, but throughout Europe. So it's a learning opportunity for them to share and experience different cultures that they can see first-hand. I encourage that when they're not on duty, studying for their next ratings exam or advancement test, then they should be enjoying the Polish countryside. So, we encourage that when they come to Poland.” “So, our motto here is “One team, One fight.” So, we all work very well together. What I think I'll miss the most is the comradery between the difference agencies. We all work together pretty harmoniously and we're working on a very important project, not only to the United States, but for Europe as well.

After saluting her as a Veteran, I barraged her with questions that she patiently answered. Among the questions: How will the recent events in Afghanistan effect America's standing in the world? We have seen hard news and propaganda but, what do you suspect is really happening? Is what happened a result of incompetence or treasonous intent? And so much more!
