141: "Look for community and resources. The worst thing that you can do is isolate yourself when there's something you're struggling with." Food insecurity advocacy with Heather Campbell From a civilian standpoint, one may assume that military families are "taken care of."

Nordic Combined is the only sport on the current Olympic program that is only open to men. Many athletes are working to change that, including Team USA's Annika Malacinski. We talk with Annika about how the sport works, which surprisingly involves a lot of body measurements (see: ski jumping suit scandal at Beijing), and we learn about one of the best winner's prizes ever. Annika gets pretty frank with us about how tough it is to not have her discipline in the Olympics. It tried to get into 2022, but was denied. Its attempt to get into 2026 needs your help! Next week, the International Olympic Committee Executive Board will meet, and finalizing the Milan-Cortina 2026 sports program is on the agenda. You can show your support for inclusion of women's Nordic combined by: Contacting an IOC member. Signing the Change.org petition. Posting support on social media - be sure to tag USA Nordic, FIS Nordic Combined, US Ski and Snowboard, Team USA, the Olympic Games and local/national news outlets with your support or opinion.

Today's female veteran with Cat Corchado It's been 22 years since Cat Corchado transitioned out of the military as an Air Force veteran that served for 20 years. Although she has enjoyed most of her civilian life as a personal trainer, it's only been in the recent years where she's asked herself, "What's next?" It was during the heart of the pandemic when she realized it was time to start the Sisters in Service podcast.

129: "At the time, I didn't think I could love anyone enough to self sacrifice." Studying the career-oriented military spouse pursuing education for career advancement with Melody Agbisit Melody Agbisit never wanted to be a military spouse, despite doing a dissertation on the lived experience of the career-oriented military spouse pursuing education for career advancement. Despite having grown up in a military household to eventually becoming a therapist supporting the military spouse in research and practice, she didn't expect to meet her husband while preparing to defend her dissertation. She reflects on her mother's strength and resiliency as a career-oriented military spouse, the immigrant family's perspective on joining the military, the common theme of 'self-sacrifice,' her love to build up others, and much more.

BONUS: "My father's absence reflects the incredible impact he made while he was alive." A Military Father's Legacy of Love & Community with Jen Amos "According to those who knew my father, Alfonso Apdal Amos was a kind, simple, humble and unassuming man. In between the time he served in the Philippine Army in the 1970s to joining the US Navy in the 1980s, he faced many hardships including dropping out of school and food insecurities. One would assume that someone with my father's struggles would make him a cold, hard-to-deal-with person. But not my father. He worked hard, cared deeply, and never complained." In observance of Veterans Day, Jen Amos shares her father's military history. Excavating and telling her father's story is possible thanks to the help of the Bulosan Center for Filipino Studies at UC Davis and The Price of Freedom Foundation.

They also had a recent acquisition of Perspecta, growing the company's presence in the national security industry.

Precise Systems was also recently named a Top Veteran-Friendly Company by U.S. Veterans Magazine for the Second Year.10. REI SystemsIf ever there was a story that highlights that it only takes a spark to start a fire, REI Systems is it. They began with one NASA contract. And now they still have work with NASA, as well as contracts with Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Energy, and many more. Their name means Reliable, Effective, and Innovative, and it's great to have a name really encapsulate the company brand. They have work in modernizing government legacy applications on cloud platforms, offer advisory services, and data analytics – among other things, as well as offer many jobs that require some level of a security clearance.

Happy Military Appreciation Month! To celebrate, we're releasing our second BONUS episode featuring Ahmad Shah Sa’ed and (Jenny Lynne's husband) Matthew Stroup! Ahmad Shah and Matthew share the early stages of their working relationship in Afghanistan, which eventually transitioned to a familial bond when Ahmad Shah came to the U.S. Today, Ahmad Shah reflects on the costs and unique opportunity to have worked with the U.S., while Matthew reflects on sound advice from a former Marine from Vietnam to be the best example of what it means to be an American in another country. Ahmad Shah Sa’ed was born in Afghanistan and served as an interpreter for U.S. and coalition forces through Mission Essential Personnel. He is a father of one, a proud husband, and an Afghan-American. He loves to travel the world and doesn’t allow fear to overcome his desire for a free life for him and his family. Matthew Stroup is a prior-enlisted Naval officer with more than 14 years in service. He served as part of Provincial Reconstruction Team Farah from 2012-2013. The views expressed in this interview are based on his experience, and do not reflect the official policy or position of the U.S. Navy, the Department of Defense, or the U.S. Government. You can find him on Twitter @matthew_stroup and LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewstroup1/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewstroup1/) -- Read our latest newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/4554f1eb2c25/holdingdownthefort (https://mailchi.mp/4554f1eb2c25/holdingdownthefort) Stay updated!
