June 2009

image Nancy Jay sits down in our EXTV studio to interview the band, Rev Theory, about their latest CD, Light It Up.

From their site:

The back-story of a rock group isn’t what catches your attention or keeps you engaged. A million bands and a million tales – some make it, some don’t, most never get the chance – what matters is the music. What always matters is the music. The music and the ears upon which those tunes are falling, also known as the proud and loyal fan. Rev Theory is conscious of that reality because they are fans themselves. Recording and performing are scared trusts they collectively cherish. Light it Up passed through them from beyond the beyond.”

Improve your well-being

June 25, 2009

In the spirit of being a part of the online military community, this blog will spread the word about other military family inspired programs and initiatives.

Fresh Voices

In an all-volunteer force, it is vital the mind, body and soul of our service men, women and their families be sustained and nourished. Army Well-Being has released new blogs to stimulate conversation about how the Army, service members and their families work together to heighten the military quality of life.

We encourage our readers to check out the following Army Well-being blogs:

Fatherly Love

In honor of our military fathers and fathers of those in the military, we are highlighting the book, The Military Father by Armin Brott.

From author’s site, Mr. Dad:

“Fathers today play a greater role with their families and children than ever before. However, military dads and dads-to-be are often separated from their families for extended periods of time. Unfortunately, there are very few resources for military (and deployed civilian) fathers, who are looking for guidance on how to be in close touch with their families back home. THE MILITARY FATHER, written by the country’s leading authority on fatherhood, will fill that gap, providing deployed dads with everything they need to know to stay (or become) involved with and connected to their family regardless of the distance that separates them.”

Check out AAFES’ Facebook page…because Armin Brott will be visiting the Ft. Lewis PX for a book signing!
