and my parents met in fort campbell in kentucky and that is where i went to high school and college.>> what college? >> i went to bowling green, -- western kentucky university in bowling green, kentucky. the home of rand paul. i will be there very soon. >> how did you get into this business? >> my brother had a paper route when i was a kid and that was back in the days when the papers would be dropped off at the house at 5 a.m. and i would help my brother fold them and then put the rubber bands on them. we were not that fancy. we didn't have the bags. so that is what i did in texas. and i wasn't very good at folding. i was a little busy reading. but my brother wasn't paying me anyway. but i have always said i'm glad my brother didn't do lawns, and instead wanted to be the paperboy, because otherwise i might be in the lawnmowing business. >> what did you do after college? >> my first job was at the courier-journal in louisville, kentucky. i covered everything from courts to cops to city hall and then i the newspapers in white plains, new york. i covered politics in westchester county.

i was recently down at fort campbell, kentucky, with the senator from tennessee, senator alexander, and we had an excellent briefing from the colonels and the generals, and the chief master sergeants of the united states army there. and unanimous, unanimous was their view that they believe that we in the congress of the united states are not taking care of them. they've always looked to us to provide them with the pay, the benefits, the housing, the equipment, the training that's necessary to do their job. they don't believe we're doing that anymore. they believe when we enact sequestration and with a meat-ax cut across the board -- and don't ask me about it. ask general odierno and the chiefs who have testified before the armed services committee about the devastating effects of readiness, of training, of acquisition. and most of all, on the morale of the men and women who are serving who literally don't know, some of them, what they're going to be doing the next day. the next day they don't know if they're going to be able to fly their airplanes or run their tanks or have the exercise

leaders who really worked with the organization to get us co-located, and we spent time together at fort campbell and once tom was accepted to school, i decided to get out as well. so that brought us to new york. so here i am from small town kentucky, had been in the military for seven years, loved what i was doing, and now i needed to focus on transition. and it really requires something. i think everyone should -- i know these ladies up here understand it, but i think it's really something that we tell the story of our transition so that people who aren't in new york city where i think veterans are able to speak and have a voice and the civilian world wants to listen, um, to the rest of the country there are a lot of veterans who are out there that may feel very isolated just by virtue of the military is a culture within our society that's actually pretty small. it's, i guess, less than 1%. and if veterans aren't self-identifying as vets and for various reasons some don't, then they feel very alone and isolated in their communities. and when they hear stories of just successes, maybe, you know,

from fort hood in texas with his wife and two kids, and pack up all their things and move them to fort campbell in tennessee, and to get him set up in a new house to do essentially a similar job. huge expense. billions and billions of dollars, if you add that up on an annual basis. like one of many places, the pentagon is talking about figuring out a way to slow down the rate of those moves, leave service members in one place for longer, simply because it costs so much money to move them. people feel like to be a well- trained servicemember, you need to move around and have that different experience. members told, service like the idea of sticking around because they have kids in school and they know where they're dry cleaner is, and they know -- a lot of them do not look forward to these frequent moves. telling a servicemember that they can stay in one place for years is a popular suggestion. sandra is on our line for independents. caller: i have heard rumors that we have an admiral for every ship in the navy. , andl get off the line thank you very much for your time. have a good day. guest: i
