On this episode of Tactically Acquired I sat down with Army National Guard, and current Northern Kentucky University (NKU) Graduate student Lieutenant (Lt) Emily O’Connor. On this special episode featuring Women’s History Month, Lt O’Connor discuss her journey to becoming an officer (enlisted, then ROTC), how she ended up as a NKU Graduate Student, her mentors, some hard truth about being a female in the military, leadership, her influences as a professional woman, and her involvement in the Nancy and David Wolf Holocaust & Humanity Center.     

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.
