This week we’re joined by retired Coast Guard Chief Tonia Tippins.

Chief Tippins joined the Coast Guard in 1988 as a young single mother of three.

She served 26 years as Food Service Specialist.

Her time enlisted did have it’s highlights, but it also proved to be one uphill battle after the next.

So many uphill battles, in fact, that one of them is still ongoing in the form of a lawsuit.

For every reason you can imagine, we did not go into the details of this lawsuit. In fact, we didn’t even mention it. However, she did tell me that I could attach a link to the court case in the bio of this post.
