Monday, June 4th, 2012

AWA President, Bill Ivey, presents a check for $2,000 to the Armed Forces Foundation at the close of fundraising activities on May 10th, 2012.

The Asymmetric Warrior Association (AWA) held its Fourth Annual Golf Tournament and Fundraiser at Renditions Grand Slam Experience located in Davidsonville, Maryland on May 10th, 2012. The AWA was formed in order to foster camaraderie among all ranks of the Asymmetric Warfare Group and support scholarships and charitable donations. This year, AWA raised awareness of Wounded Warrior and Transitioning Soldier issues and provided a check for $2,000 to the Armed Forces Foundation. AWA also plans to present a $2,000 check to Homes for Our Troops and award several college scholarships to AWA dependents. These donations could not have been possible without the support of AWA’s corporate sponsors that included: Vision Technologies, Inc., Heckler & Koch, Beretta, Knight’s Armament Company, Ensign-Bickford Aerospace & Defense Company, Booz/Allen/Hamilton, Nike Golf, Chick-Fil-A, Tranter Graphics, and Spyderco.

AWA President, Bill Ivey, says thank you to a wounded warrior from Bethesda, Maryland’s Transition Center during the Award’s Ceremony at the end of the Golf Tournament and Fundraiser on May 10th, 2012.

Support Battling Bare

Sunday, June 3rd, 2012

 

Battling Bare. Comprised of a different sort of warrior, helping husbands heal from PTSD. They use tasteful, moving pictures to get their message across. Consider supporting them and please: if you comment, keep it tasteful. To do otherwise is to heap insult on top of injury, and frankly is missing the point altogether. These ladies are bringing an entirely different perspective to combat related PTSD; they’re without a doubt worthy of your support.

Broken by battle…
Wounded by war…
My love is FOREVER–to you this I SWORE.
I WILL:
Quiet your silent screams…
Help heal your shattered soul…
Until once again, my love…
YOU ARE WHOLE!
Battle bare.

TacJobs – Veteran Central

Wednesday, May 30th, 2012

Are you a Veteran and looking for somewhere to network and maybe find a job? While researching Veteran suicide with his brother-in-law Paul McDonald, Veteran Central founder Jonathon Lunardi learned how challenging it can be for service members to return to civilian life and earn a living. Together, they created Veteran Central, a job resource and development network exclusively for Veterans.

They work with Navy Veteran Michael Barrett who serves as the site’s Director of Sales to provide information on job seeking as well as resources for psychological support.

They’ve also created a job listing board where vacancies are peer-reviewed and made available to Veterans. Don’t worry. One of the things they take into consideration is the job level. The site has a decidedly blue collar feel many will be comfortable with and the jobs are the kinds of things you can step into. You don’t need a college degree or years of experience in some arcane subject to get hired here. These are the types of things you pick up in the service and Veteran Central wants you to get a job.

Check it out. It might be just the thing you’ve been looking for.

Check out the King Joffrey Target from Red Bubble. It’s really art rather than a true target but it is pretty funny.
