This Memorial Day, Let’s Talk Skin Cancer In The Military
This article was previously authored by Dr. James Goydos and published on Tealfeed June 2021 Memorial Day has an important place in American history. It is the one day of the year which is set aside for our nation to memorialize those who have lost their lives in the performance of their military duties. It was first celebrated in 1868, then known as ‘Decoration Day’, and has become a prominent fixture in American culture to this day. While it has become synonymous for many with weekend sales and an unofficial start to Summer, the meaning behind the holiday is to remember those who have lost their lives in their service to the United States.

Skin Cancer In The Military-A Silent Threat
This article was previously published on Dr. James Goydos' Medium. Veterans Day is one of the few days out of the year that is nationally recognized in the United States which honor the many people who have served in the armed forces over the two centuries that we have formally been a nation, and the years prior to 1776. While many rightly honor the sacrifice that the millions have made over the years in their service to America, there is one sacrifice that may go unnoticed: the additional risk that those in the armed forces face regarding skin cancer.

Escalation of tensions between Russia and Ukraine with the massing of Troops at the Border.
Since mid-March this year there have been warnings from Ukraine and many Western governments that Russia is continuously increasing its strength in Russian annexed Crimea and around Eastern Ukraine. Till now the Russian intentions are not clear. Is it preparation for war or just plain saber-rattling? Russia has said that the movement of troops in the Russian territory is just an exercise, it was an internal affair, and has accused Ukraine of the resulting provocations.

My Journey With my Story Homefront
When I started writing Homefront, I took a long look back at what it meant to be LGBT in the military. I served during the Don't Ask Don't Tell (DADT) era. It had its moments, but there was always this looming threat that I couldn't live my truth even though I served my country.

Benefits Of Joining The U.S. Military
Article #4 Benefits Of The United States Military In this article I will talk about the many benefits the United States Military has to offer. I served in the U.S. Army for 4 years but all the branches of the military has similar benefits. The number one reason why I joined the military was because Of the GI Bill which either pays for your college degree or pays for your debt. The only way to get it once you join the military is to pay into it for the first 12 months of your military career which is one $100 dollars a month. There are many types of GI Bill depending on what year you served. When, I got out, I was under 9-11 GI Bill, which is transferable to your spouse after being active for 6 years in the service. You are also able to transfer your benefits to your children, if you don't want to go to school and have your children benefit from it so that they may get their college degree. Now, They have the Forever GI Bill, go to the VA website for more info.

Once a Military Brat...
My dad is retired Navy. He was in for 20 years, until I was in high school. Throughout my life, my dad taught me a lot of life lessons and skills that I believe had a lot to do with his military experience. He taught my sisters and I some amazing work ethic, the importance of dedication and passion in what you do, and how to always follow through with your commitments. These lessons followed me, and to this day, even at 24 years old, I still live by one specific motto my dad taught me. He once said to me, "no matter what job you're doing, if I walk into your place of work, you better be the best and most hardworking person there."

Vetforce Online Training Program helps Vets Bring Home a Career
Photo by Fort Rucker When military enlistment is up and the decision to leave is made, the return home can be pretty abrupt. The same goes for the negotiating the job market. Unfortunately, unfamiliarity on the corporate job search can place veterans into a lingering abyss of doubt and inactivity. Lauren Zolp’s three year search speaks directly to the uncertainty. “I wondered what was wrong with me,” said the former military linguist. But when she came across a program called VetForce in 2017, her life changed.

Why JROTCs Are Good Organizations for Schools
On February 14th, 2018, Stoneman Douglas High School shooting occurred in Parkland, Flordia, changing American citizen's views on gun control, starting several movements, peaceful protests, law changes, and unity throughout the country. March 14th at 10:00 AM was the national school walkout against having to ever run in fear by an armed gunman in a school #ENOUGHISENOUGH, #NEVERAGAIN. Code Pink, a feminist movement for peace, tweeted, “We must pass gun laws, get JROTC and NRA out of our schools, and #DivestFromWar,” on that day. Even though three JROTC (Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps) Cadets died, protecting their fellow students and other JROTC students shielded their classmates, risking their lives.
