This is my first solo episode where I talk about compartmentalization, or the act of separating traumatic events from reality in an attempt to salvage the sane mind. It's a process we all perform, generally subconsciously, and is used as a coping mechanism. There are benefits to it, but in the big picture, there can be some repercussions as well. So please join me and my ADD brain as I waddle down this rabbit hole and somehow find my way to the end.

We're breaking new ground here on Before I Forget, we have Rose Contreras on the show! Rose is a good friend of Kevin's and just so happened to be stationed in Germany and Deployed to Iraq at the same time. She is our first Female Guest EVER! Its funny how their paths continue to cross through life...  We get a better understanding of what Women have to deal with while being the "FNG". Rose also opens the door to us on some physical tragedies and mental triumphs that she has had to endure after Army Life.  Please like, listen, subscribe and SHARE!
