MORE MILITARY SPOUSE NEWS TO SHARE!

June 26th through 28th, I will be traveling to Columbus, Indiana to participate in the INKY Military Spouse Informational at Camp Atterbury with Director Sherry Doggett and Tania Mercurio of Operation Life Transformed. The Camp has informed LuAnn Guilfoyle that they are inviting 1000 people. If course, we really don't expect 1000 people [can you just imagine!!!] but we're excited nevertheless. We are thrilled that OLT will be awarding two scholarships to deserving spouses and we are hoping for a major presence by AHDI-approved schools as well as MTIA member companies at this event. Of course, I will report, via this blog, after the fact to keep you all informed.

I also plan to provide one or two creditworthy presentations for the INKY members to round out the weekend.

Obviously INKY has chosen the Military Spouse Informational option from the Mission Possible choices and I'm thrilled to be assisting their regional component with this worthy choice. Any choice made by components is a good choice but I am especially excited when Military Spouse is chosen for so many reason, not the least of which is that I was once a military spouse myself and couldn't get a job if my life depended on it. I was constantly told, "We don't hire military wives." I'm thrilled with the wisdom of the DOD and DOL who said medical transcription is a viable option for military spouses because of its portability and, although I know I'm biased, having been in this profession for 30 years, it's not the only career choice for them but an excellent one in my estimation. I certainly wish I had known about MT back in the late 60s and early 70s when I couldn't find a job to help my family.

Best regards to all who read my blog regularly -- it is much appreciated!
