It's been such a long day that I'm not sure where we started this morning...Wait. Oh yes! We had to report downstairs by 6:30 AM. That was fun. To add to the pleasantness of that, it was QUITE a cold day here in San Antonio. Many of the soldiers that are here didn't bring cold weather gear because they assumed the weather would be warmer than the northern posts and cities they came from. Normally, this isn't really an issue but the wind today literally took my breath away. I walked outside...read more

It's not an easy job and it's not meant for everyone

I was born in Fort Campbell, Kentucky so I like to tell people that I did 18 years of involuntary service as a dependent to a service member, prior to my enlistment at the age of 25. In high school, Iwas a member of the Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps and competed in Rifle, Pistol and Color Guard competitions.

After my previous blog, I went downstairs to meet everyone for the bus rides over to the BBQ. The organizers split us up into our two teams East and West and that's where the competition began.

Yesterday was pretty uneventful. I arrived at the San Antonio airport without too much incident... other than the headache from hell, there was little complain about. OH wait. The weather. The cold must have followed me from DC because it definitely is not as warm outside as I'd hoped it would be. Last night, my sister and I took the trolley to Mi Tierra, a local Tex-Mex restaurant that seemingly everyone we met recommended to us. We love La Margarita but since they're both owned by the same...read more

About Me:
Genevieve Chase is a Staff Sergeant in the U.S. Army Reserve. From February 2005 to October of 2007, Chase volunteered for active duty service to serve with the Army’s 10th Mountain Division (Light Infantry) in Fort Drum, New York and Afghanistan. Since returning from active duty service, Chase has worked to bring to light the issues faced by today's veterans. While advocating on their behalf, she discovered a need for a focus on women veterans and their families from all eras and branches of service. From that void, Chase created American Women Veterans and began, in earnest, the 21st century women veterans movement. Chase currently resides in Alexandria, Virginia.
