[close] Looking for military spouses who are authors. I would like to get one of the service times to write an article about how we spouses don't just sit home and feed the kids while our spouses are deployed. They get a feel good story, and we get some free publicity for our books. And, maybe we make some friends along the way.

[close] A forum for soldiers and those interested in military subjects to find, recommend, and review books on military topics for professional development or general interest. Book topics can range broadly from history, leadership, strategy, tactics, theory, and technology. "The problem with being too busy to read is that you learn by experience (or by your men’s experience), i.e. the hard way. By reading, you learn through others’ experiences, generally a better way to do business, especially in our line of work where the consequences of incompetence are so final for young men. Thanks to my reading, I have never been caught flat-footed by any situation, never at a loss for how any problem has been addressed (successfully or unsuccessfully) before. It doesn’t give me all the answers, but it lights what is often a dark path ahead." -General James Mattis
