On this episode of Tactically Acquired I am with Lt Col Robbin Higgins who is a United States Army retired officer, and a Northern Kentucky University (NKU) alumni with a Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership. Enjoy her amazing journey on how a shy country girl from Falmouth Kentucky can accomplish 28+ years of military service  as she discusses her “Private Benjamin” moment with her TI (Training Instructor) and mother. Also, how she commissioned (“prove a girl can do it”), her numerous adventures overseas to include Afghanistan, Germany, Korea, Saudi Arabia, Alaska (OCONUS) and Hawaii (OCONUS). Moreover, her educational experience with NKU, and what she leaned about women veterans during her dissertation. Plus other great stories and advice.  

Our goal is to document military connected living history in a fun and easy environment.  We will capture the stories of our active duty, guard, reservists, veterans, ROTC and their families.  Sharing their stories, adventures, and journeys across the military life cycle.  

The podcast is for anyone interested in joining the military, has been a part of the military, or who wishes to learn more about military life.  In addition, we want to bridge the growing military-civilian divide through education.  

This is “unfiltered” meaning we will go over the good, the bad, and yes, maybe even the ugly of being a military connected individual.  

This is from Northern Kentucky University’s Veterans Resource Station in partnership with the Department of History.  Produced by Professor Kevin Eagles.  

Dr. Robbin Higgins ask any veteran who needs to “talk” or help finding their “tribe” to reach out to her at [email protected].
