I have been away from the blogosphere for a little while fulfilling my Weekend Warrior duties.  <\/span>I was concentrating on my field grade officer course of Command and Staff.  <\/span>As I thought of my absence from my stories, I realize that this is a story which needs be shared:  <\/span>my life as a Marine Corps Reserve Officer.  <\/span>My former Brussels blog and this current one talk about my adventures.  <\/span>None of these adventures would have been possible if I would not have landed on Parris Island sixteen years ago.<\/p>\n

Work Mode in Haiti<\/b><\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n
When I arrived to that mythical island, I was only eighteen years old.  <\/span>I was young, idealistic, and in search of a challenge.  <\/span>At the end of thirteen weeks, the Puerto Rican college freshman from Upstate New York had evolved into a Marine.  <\/span>The most precious gifts of this experience are the people I\u2019ve met and places I\u2019ve seen.  <\/span>My disappointments have turned out to be a blessings in disguise.  <\/span>My mistakes have proven to be lessons in leadership and compassion.   <\/span>My duties have taken me to all six habitable continents.  <\/span>I have seen excess and I have seen misery.  <\/span>It also makes me realize that our country, with all its flaws is an amazing place to live.  <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
With the President of Liberia<\/i> <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

I cannot write about my expatriation nor my repatriation without writing about my life as a Marine.  <\/span>My experiences as a Marine taught me courage to start a new life and to rebuild an old one.  <\/span>In 2006, I left active duty promptly after my deployment to Baghdad.  <\/span>I decided to take time off to attend graduate school in Brussels and discover a world without the bind of active duty service.  <\/span>Little did I know, my reserve duties would take me to the Senegalese country side, where I participated in a humanitarian assistance operation.  <\/span>They took me to Haiti where I got to see firsthand the aftermath of the earthquake.  <\/span>They took me to Monrovia, where I met Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, the president of Liberia and 2011 Nobel Peace Prize winner.  <\/span>It took me to Seoul, where I shared soju with my Republic of Korea counterparts.  I had dinner with my Australian counterparts at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.  <\/span>I reaffirmed my oath as I was promoted to the rank of Major in Brussels at the NATO headquarters during my tenure as a civil servant there.  <\/span>As I drank champagne with one of my Belgian counterparts after the ceremony, he said \u201cc\u2019est ne pas possible\u201d to see a daughter of immigrants in Belgium become a field grade officer.   <\/span>All of these experiences, among others put things into perspective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Being Educated on True Nomadic Culture<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

My combat boots and my camouflage uniform sits among my DVF dresses and my Ferragamo shoes, a reminder that although I do not wear my uniform every day, I am and will always be a Marine.  <\/span>Semper Fidelis is etched in my skin and in my heart.  <\/span>I am forever grateful for the opportunity to see the world and realize that we, the inhabitants of this earth are not as different as we think.   <\/span>There are many countries that are very close to my heart but there is no place like home.  <\/span>I believe a true patriot is not blind one.   <\/span>My patriotism comes from seeing the world and being grateful and aware of the opportunities I have been afforded.  <\/span>Sometimes it is hard to manage the boots and the dress, but there is a little piece of Marine I bring to my day job and to my hobbies (yes, I\u2019ve used the Marine Planning Process when managing my former cupcake business in Brussels).   <\/span>Today, I hung my boots and my uniform again in my closet, but looking forward to my next adventure in uniform. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
