The first thing one notices is the smile. It is genuine, yet inquisitive. The kind of smile that puts you at ease. Unusual for me, but I was a bit uneasy. Dr. Ki Magee was one of Gina Alderman’s long-time military friends. I wanted to be sure everything went well as we talked about the Rugged Warrior Healing Coalition Retreat starting on Thursday, May 18th, 2023.
As it turns out, my concerns were unfounded as we began to talk.
Dr. Magee enlisted in the Navy and then became an officer in the Medical Service Corps. Along the way, she met people who invested in her, including Gina Alderman, and she never stopped going after her goals. Her Navy career has had a lasting positive influence on her life. Getting out of the Navy, Ki never stopped looking at ways to gain knowledge and understanding and then share that through coaching.
At the Rugged Warrior Healing Coalition Retreat, Dr. Magee is a co-facilitator that will be coaching and supporting Gina. I appreciated how Gina’s investment in Ki has now come full circle.

Curtis Rutledge served in the Army for 12 years and was medically retired. He tried different things and then got into welding and metalwork because he loves cars. Out of his love for cars, Curtis started Project Shft 6. Project Shift 6 is located in Bakersfield, CA.
This is a place where Veterans can work with Curtis and his team to learn the basics of mechanics and welding and can develop their skills for a career in the automotive industry. Go to https://www.theshift6.org/ to learn more about Project Shift 6. Thank you Curis for talking with me, I will try welding with you soon!

I want to give a big shout-out to Keith Hayes of Sinista1 Productions for getting me connected with Cedric Jeffries. Cedric Jeffries was an 11 Bravo (Infantry) in the U.S. Army. From the time Cedric was six, he was doing performing, art, and poetry.
His Army experience helped him adapt to the business side of his new life. Cedric wants to help independent artists understand the business of being an artist so they can thrive. I think this more than anything is the lesson we need to understand. If we work to build a business on a good foundation, we can have the kind of life we want for ourselves and our families like Cedric has done.

I met Anna at Tennessee VFW State Commander Brian Walker’s event at the Collierville, TN Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 5066. She came on Oscar Mike Radio for number 294 (https://oscarmikeradio.com/294-anna-lynn-ferris/). Anna Lynn Ferris lives in Tennessee and has been performing all her life, and when she reached out to me to come on again it was for a personal reason and lesson.
Anna’s sister died in late 2022 and she wrote “First and Last” in her memory. I felt this conversation was something that we all to could learn from as grief in an emotion that we a Veterans feel keenly in our lives. I hope that “First and Last” will give you comfort as it gave Anna and her family comfort.
You can watch Anna perform “First and Last “on YouTube
