Military @ MindSay



 

   
Out of the military
It's official. I'm out of the military and a new and exciting chapter of my life opens today. It's a bit scary, but I have the support I need to make this a smooth transition. I'm very excited about starting college and becoming more involved in the issues I care so much about.
 
 
   
 

My first blog entry

A little bit about me:

 

My name is Eladio and I've lived in San Diego for over three years, althought I'll be moving to Utah in a few days. My wonderful wife and I will be starting college there in the spring. I've been in the U.S. Navy for four years and I'm ready to move on. In 2008, I was deployed to Kuwait in support of OIF/OEF and even got to visit Afghanistan for a few days.

 

My experience in the military and the time I've had to find myself while serving has led me to become an activist against imperialism, war, and injustice. I hope to finish college and then attend graduate school so one day I can teach at the college level and share my thoughts and experience with young people.

 

Much more to follow...

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
MoJoe, the host of Talk Radio Portal says of his program, it is “where we try to invoke you with subjects from Today's News, Sports, Music, and of course a little Politics. I am passionate when it comes to those serving in the Military. I love to dabble in Sports and occasionally will address the controversial events within. I have a different attitude when it comes to Politics, I will listen to the views and then give everyone my common sense opinion. There's no need to wrap things up in a pretty package, and then jam it down everyone's throat. Let the everyday person be heard!”

ABOUT THE BOOK
Using poker as analogy for leadership, Captain Andrew Harvey, CPD (ret.), Ed.D. and Lieutenant Raymond E. Foster, LAPD (ret.), MPA found the right mix of practical experience and academic credentials to write a definitive book for leaders. Working together, Harvey and Foster have written Leadership: Texas Hold em Style. Most often leaders find they are given a set of resources people, equipment, funds, experience and a mission. As Foster noted, "You're dealt a certain hand. How you play that hand as a leader determines your success."

More than a book: A fun and entertaining journey through leadership that includes an interactive website to supplement knowledge gained from the book.

Ease of Application: Theory is reinforced with real-life experience, which results in accessible and practical tools leaders can put to use immediately.
High Road Approach: Personal character and ethical beliefs are woven into each leadership approach, so leaders do the right thing for the right reasons.
Uses Game of Poker: Rather than a dry approach that is all fact and no flavor, the game of poker is used as a lens through which to view leadership concepts.
