I don't usually voice my political leanings on here (as this is an Army blog and not a Kayley-on-her-soapbox blog) but I had to share this because it's important and could directly affect you. Writing for this blog is a privilege for me, and it's rather great to read the comments of those that read whatever cray (shout out to the new Jay Z and Kanye West album) stories us bloggers have to tell. With this in mind, I'm sure y'all have heard of this little thing in...read more

The new year means a new slew of resolutions to lose weight. I even heard it from the guys at my unit. "I'll lose this spare tire!" This is great, don't get me wrong. America is not exactly known around the world for its trim physique but there are healthy and unhealthy ways to go about it. A coworker of mine complains about her weight but then eats a bag of Doritos for breakfast. Friends of mine post workout on Pinterest and then follow it up with a...read more

It's known by many different names in the Army Dental Corps - Emergency call, DOD, on call, and a few other names I won't mention here. Ultimately it all means the same thing - being assigned as the dentist to provide care when the dental clinic is closed. Since it is typically divided up among all the dentists assigned to an area the frequency can vary. Some locations you may only pull call a few times a year, others it may be once a month. After hours care is...read more

Amman- This entry is focused on sharing information for other FAO still in their language training at DLI. I’ve been in Amman for almost two weeks and am close to finishing the embassy’s inprocessing. It’s similar to the Army’s in that your information has to be entered into several databases for tracking purposes and for expected services, but it’s not instant as some of the information has to go to the host nation for processing as well. The offices in...read more

I spent most of the day returning from a short - but needed, and appreciated - family vacation. We didn't go far, but we did enjoy spending some quiet time together hiking, reading, and enjoying some beautiful views (and the season's first snowfall). On the way home, while listening to NPR, I caught the replay Dr. King's 'I Have a Dream' speech from 1963. I'm a bit ashamed to admit I'd never heard the whole thing, but I listened today and it got me...read more

I'm starting this post to keep my friends and family updated on my experiences as a newly minted army First Lietenant. I will be going to Ft. Sam in February to begin my officer basic training as a 65D, Army Physician Assistant. This has ben a life long dream to join the Army and I got in just under the wire(age limit). I look forward to serving my country and am proud to don the uniform of the US Army.

We have one week left here at Ft. Polk. And I, for one, couldn’t be happier. I have decided the following about Louisiana: I will never choose to live down here. Don’t get me wrong – there are good people, fun fried food, and nice scenery. But the way that water interacts with the land here is just atrocious at times. And I’m here in the winter; I hear that the summers are unbearably painful. The last OMLT ahead of us was here...read more

As an ILE student, we study a variety of subjects from leadership to military history and most recently force management. During a recent block of instructions, we focused on the joint capability and integration development system (JCIDS) as well as the DOTMLPF group (doctrine, organization, training, material, leadership, personnel, and facilities). Interesting to me was how DOTMLPF provides insights into foreseeable requirements and indentifies gaps. These gaps can then...read more
