1356 Baby on BoardJeremy talks about the difficulty of taking care of a baby whiletaking a long flight

Abidemi So Jeremy you mentionedearlier that yoursquove been back to Canadawith your baby How was that experience

Jeremy Well I mean until you fly with atoddler you really never get to appreciateall of those times that you flew across theocean you know watching movies or reading magazines or just sleeping on theflight because those days are over

Abidemi Wow

Jeremy I mean itrsquos not that bad but when yoursquore on the planeyou say ldquoNever againrdquo I remember about halfway into a 10-hour trans-Pacific flight I thought ldquoWell I can maybe do thisevery three years but not more than once a year for surerdquo

I mean first of all our boy was bigger than most children for hisage So he was about one year old And you know they havethese bassinets that yoursquore allowed to put your child in andyou know the baby will hopefully sleep for a while So thestewardess sets up the bassinet wersquore all ready to put him inthere and then she says ldquoHow old is herdquo And he was 12 kilosand this was for 115 maximum

Abidemi Oh no

Jeremy And they wouldnrsquot let us put him in there so they hadto take the whole thing apart and basically we had to findsome way to have him sleep on our laps for the next nine hours

Abidemi Oh wow

Jeremy I mean you know one-year old like to crawl aroundThey like to scream they like to cry Other people on the flightdonrsquot like that so much So you know itrsquos basically every minuteof silence you just savor and just pray that this will keep goingand it never does

But you know once he falls asleep and the plane is quiet andthey turn off the lights then you know itrsquos okay But itrsquos too longItrsquos too long for a one-year old So I can maybe manage it oncea year but thatrsquos about it

Abidemi I remember my sister she has two kids and she toldme a story a few years back when one of her daughters wasstill a toddler and they went to Disneyland from Canada Andshe said it was just horrible and they would never do it again

And I just smiled I didnrsquot have that experience I was justthinking ldquoWhat could be so bad about itrdquo But hearing your story now wow I can only imagine

1 Babies love to around

2 I need to my bike

3 You lack of confidence is all

4 Before I was thin but those days are

5 You should never someone until youknow them

6 Try to be of my situation

think itrsquos just you know in the parentsrsquo head that everybody is judging them everybody is looking at them Because youknow I get so worried about what other people are thinking thatinconveniencing others that I just work myself up so much andmy wife is the same way

But you know talking ndash actually we did have people say to uslike ldquoDonrsquot worry about itrdquo They will just go out of their way tosay ldquoOh what a cute babyrdquo and stuff like that So I think peoplewere kind of aware of how stressful it is for parents

And they just ndash some people actually make an effort to makeparents feel like everybody is not silently judging them or maybenot even silently

Abidemi Okay Not saying anything If you had an advice oneadvice to give to a parent that would travel with that child in thefuture what would you tell them

Jeremy My best advice is if you can fly in the morning So after baby wakes up and you have your breakfast and your flight ismaybe at I donrsquot know 900 or 1000 in the morning I think thatworks out if itrsquos a say a 10-hour flight because yoursquoll land itrsquoll beprobably around bedtime like his normal bedtime

The first time we did it the flight was in the late evening Sobasically hersquod been up all day And then there was another 10hours on top of that So you know when we landed thereadjustment to his normal schedule was really really difficultBut when we flew in the morning and it was a 10-hour flight

when we landed he just basically went to sleep like a normalschedule

So thatrsquos a small thing but it really makes a big difference

Abidemi Thank you

Goron Okay In Italy the biggest city is Rome Itrsquos a reallyancient city as you know And so for this reason it was built for horses for a really small amount of people not five million as Ithink we have today

Meg Yes I was actually in the ArmyNational Guard So I enlisted when I was17 In America in the National Guardeach state can have kind of different rulesor different requirements And so inIndiana you can enlist when you are 17 with parentalpermission So I did that

Todd Wow Seventeen is really young age

Meg Yeah And it sort of happened really quick I mean I was a junior in high school and I got a call from a recruiter And at firstI was really against it but then in Indiana if you enlist and youserve your time theyll pay your college tuition if you go to astate college

So Indiana has Purdue and I was interested in going to Purdueanyway so it seemed like a good idea

Todd Thats fantastic So how long were you in the service

Meg I was in for six years all together That was the minimumcommitment So I could have done more but I was ready tomaybe try some other things after that time

Todd Did it go by fast

Meg Looking back it definitely did I think there are differentstages that went by slow or fast Like when I was in actual basic

training when youre in it it was super slow Like yourecounting on the hours every day because youre just desperateto finish and get out and get back to your family And I was youknow 17 so its a little different

But now looking back like I cant believe it was a full six yearsand now its so many years past that already So yeah I guessit did go by fast overall

Todd Yeah thats great So what was it like being a woman inthe military

Meg It was ndash well I served in a unit ndash I was a medic And somy unit a medical unit naturally has more women The ratio iscloser to 50-50 men and women which isnt ndash at least that timewasnt ndash I dont have the current statistics but it isnt that kind of

ratio for the Army as a whole or the military as a whole

And so for me there was ndash I was with a lot of other women alsowhen I was serving But for me personally there were definitelychallenges especially when I was first in basic training like Idefinitely felt personal pressure to try to keep up with the guysWith everything whether its you know physically being able to

lift and carry these heavy boxes and whatever You know youhave the same requirements that you have to do And younever want to be the weak link

And I think some other women maybe suffered a little morebecause they couldnt keep up quite as well And so that can bea little difficult But maybe Im naturally a bit more suited for those kinds of things So I did okay but I definitely wanted toand tried hard to keep up with the physical aspect which isnt aseasy sometimes for women

Todd Well thats interesting So you do look pretty fit so youmust have been really fit back in the day

Meg Yeah I think Yeah especially basic training becauseyoure never like not running Anytime youre walkingsomewhere youre just running running running like theymake you run everywhere And you get like 5 minutes to eatbreakfast and lunch and dinner Every time you have to eat itso fast And then youre doing all this physical training and thengoing through obstacle courses and carrying heavy packsand carrying your weapon round

Yeah So that was probably the most fit Ive ever been Imdefinitely not that now

Todd Right So if you had a daughter would you recommendthat she goes in the military or would you recommend other women to join the military

Meg I would not recommend it I guess I dont go aroundtelling everyone Oh you should just join the military But Ithink if someone ndash if there is a woman who is interested in it or thinking about it I would definitely ndash for me I mean it workedout great There are a lot of like leadership and personalcharacter qualities that I was really able to develop during mytime that have continued to benefit me now

And so for a woman who is interested I would definitely sayGo for it

Meg Yeah So a medic which now I believeis called health care specialist is ndash I alwayssay its kind of similar to being like aparamedic where its not a full nurse job Ithink nurses have more training like in civilianside nurses but similar to paramedic where you have certain likeminor procedures that youre trained to do and high-level thingsthan just an EMT like doing IVs and giving shots and stitches andthings like that

And youre trained ndash because its the mili tary youre especiallytrained for emergency situations and how to treat someone whohas maybe some serious life-threatening wounds So thats a medic

Todd Wow That sounds like a really difficult job I mean its notyour typical just soldier job You must have had a lot of schoolingand education

Meg I had ndash well everyone goes through the initial about two anda half months like basic training And thats more kind of basiccombat skills and physical training that kind of thing And then I hadfour months past that to train to be a medic So we went through likeemergency medical technician course just like civilian side I gotcertified with that And then we had additional training for the militaryskills like IVs and emergency procedures that kind of thing

Todd Right Can you explain what IV is

Meg IV is an intravenous ndash like getting fluids into your body So if youve been injured and youve lost a lot of blood or maybe youredehydrated and you need some fluid in your body quickly then we

stick a needle into your vein and then the fluids go in And theneedle comes back out but a little tube stays in And then you canget fluids quickly that way

Todd So anybody thats been to the doctor knows thats alwayskind of the anxious moment when the nurse or the person whosgoing to stick the needle in Were you good at doing that

Meg So once I learned how to do it I think I was pretty good And Iactually enjoyed doing it not in a creepy way but you know it was ndashI guess because I was decent at it that it was a part of my job that Ienjoyed

But for myself before we went through that training I actuallybecame dehydrated and needed to get an IV myself And I wasterrified because I really hadnt had that before in my life And sothe nurse was going to come you know put the needle in my arm

and I was like No isnt there another Ill just drink a lot of water And she was saying Arent you going to be a medic And I waslike Oh I havent trained yet Dont do it So yeah

Todd Oh thats cool Yeah I was recently in the hospital and theyhad me strapped up for both blood and for the water theintravenous drip And its annoying because you cant really move

Meg Yeah yeah Or at least you have to careful When I wasgetting the IV I didnt know that the needle doesnt stay in your armNow for some things it does For blood maybe its different Im notsure But yeah so I was trying to be so careful too but you still wantit to go well so you dont want to move very much

Todd Right So what percentage of people would you say freak outwhen they get the needle

Todd Right Yeah Nobody likes that

Meg No

Todd So you transitioned You were in the medical profession andthen you moved to education Why did you leave the medicalprofession for education

Meg Yeah Thats interesting because I became a medic in themilitary because I thought after I ndash when I could continue collegethat I would be a nurse or a doctor But my time serving as a medichelped me learn that that was not what I wanted to do for my career

after all

So I definitely am glad that I had those skills and the things that Ilearned and was able to experience But I had ndash English had kind of been on the back burner And so then I said Okay let me revisitthis and it led to English education

Todd Wow Have you ever thought about being like an Englishspecialist for people in the medical fields like teaching doctors andnurses

Michael Abidemi Jeremy I heard youhave a new baby Congrats on that

Jeremy Thanks

Abidemi So how has fatherhood changedyou in any way

Jeremy You know its changed meprobably in every way You know when you think of how your life is different its basically from when you wake up until ndash wellyou eventually get to go to sleep Everything is different

But you know everything about it is positive even things thatyoud think would annoy you actually arent really that annoyingLike having a toddler come and wake you up at 6 oclock in themorning when youve got a cold and youve taken a bunch of sleeping medication the night before like which happened thismorning And even that having a toddler wake you up and justlooking at you and laughing its awesome It really is awesomeSo you know I always kind of worried before when I wasthinking about having a kid about all these things ndash oh I cantgo out at night or Im going to have to wake up so early in themorning and Im going to be woken up in the middle of the nightby a screaming child

But you know you get to see a little person change everydayand start figuring things out And of course every person everyparent thinks that their child is the smartest child in the worldHe can turn off and on the light switch you know but its thosetypes of things that you just marvel at

So you know I can say like most people that its everythingabout it is very positive But its often just the really really smallthings that make you appreciate this little wonder

Abidemi And looking back on the experience now what aresome things that you would wish that you had known beforeyour little boy came along

1356 Baby on BoardJeremy talks about the difficulty of taking care of a baby whiletaking a long flight

Abidemi So Jeremy you mentionedearlier that yoursquove been back to Canadawith your baby How was that experience

Jeremy Well I mean until you fly with atoddler you really never get to appreciateall of those times that you flew across theocean you know watching movies or reading magazines or just sleeping on theflight because those days are over

Abidemi Wow

Jeremy I mean itrsquos not that bad but when yoursquore on the planeyou say ldquoNever againrdquo I remember about halfway into a 10-hour trans-Pacific flight I thought ldquoWell I can maybe do thisevery three years but not more than once a year for surerdquo

I mean first of all our boy was bigger than most children for hisage So he was about one year old And you know they havethese bassinets that yoursquore allowed to put your child in andyou know the baby will hopefully sleep for a while So thestewardess sets up the bassinet wersquore all ready to put him inthere and then she says ldquoHow old is herdquo And he was 12 kilosand this was for 115 maximum

Abidemi Oh no

Jeremy And they wouldnrsquot let us put him in there so they hadto take the whole thing apart and basically we had to findsome way to have him sleep on our laps for the next nine hours

Abidemi Oh wow

Jeremy I mean you know one-year old like to crawl aroundThey like to scream they like to cry Other people on the flightdonrsquot like that so much So you know itrsquos basically every minuteof silence you just savor and just pray that this will keep goingand it never does

But you know once he falls asleep and the plane is quiet andthey turn off the lights then you know itrsquos okay But itrsquos too longItrsquos too long for a one-year old So I can maybe manage it oncea year but thatrsquos about it

Abidemi I remember my sister she has two kids and she toldme a story a few years back when one of her daughters wasstill a toddler and they went to Disneyland from Canada Andshe said it was just horrible and they would never do it again

And I just smiled I didnrsquot have that experience I was justthinking ldquoWhat could be so bad about itrdquo But hearing your story now wow I can only imagine

Jeremy Well I think that ndash actually most people mostpassengers on the flight are usually quite understanding And I

take (the whole thing) apart

understanding

Most passengers on the flight areusually quite understanding

Here understanding means patientand sympathetic Notice the following

1 He was quite understanding of our situation

2 Doctors need to be very understanding of patients fears

in their head

Itrsquos just in the parentsrsquo head

When a thought is in your head thatmeans you worry about it and perhaps

more than necessary

1 Babies love to around

2 I need to my bike

3 You lack of confidence is all

4 Before I was thin but those days are

5 You should never someone until youknow them

6 Try to be of my situation

think itrsquos just you know in the parentsrsquo head that everybody is judging them everybody is looking at them Because youknow I get so worried about what other people are thinking thatinconveniencing others that I just work myself up so much andmy wife is the same way

But you know talking ndash actually we did have people say to uslike ldquoDonrsquot worry about itrdquo They will just go out of their way tosay ldquoOh what a cute babyrdquo and stuff like that So I think peoplewere kind of aware of how stressful it is for parents

And they just ndash some people actually make an effort to makeparents feel like everybody is not silently judging them or maybenot even silently

Abidemi Okay Not saying anything If you had an advice oneadvice to give to a parent that would travel with that child in thefuture what would you tell them

Jeremy My best advice is if you can fly in the morning So after baby wakes up and you have your breakfast and your flight ismaybe at I donrsquot know 900 or 1000 in the morning I think thatworks out if itrsquos a say a 10-hour flight because yoursquoll land itrsquoll beprobably around bedtime like his normal bedtime

The first time we did it the flight was in the late evening Sobasically hersquod been up all day And then there was another 10hours on top of that So you know when we landed thereadjustment to his normal schedule was really really difficultBut when we flew in the morning and it was a 10-hour flight

when we landed he just basically went to sleep like a normalschedule

So thatrsquos a small thing but it really makes a big difference

Abidemi Thank you

Todd So Meg I thought we would talk alittle bit about the military Now you wereactually in the military

Meg Yes I was actually in the ArmyNational Guard So I enlisted when I was17 In America in the National Guardeach state can have kind of different rulesor different requirements And so inIndiana you can enlist when you are 17 with parentalpermission So I did that

Todd Wow Seventeen is really young age

Meg Yeah And it sort of happened really quick I mean I was a junior in high school and I got a call from a recruiter And at firstI was really against it but then in Indiana if you enlist and youserve your time theyll pay your college tuition if you go to astate college

So Indiana has Purdue and I was interested in going to Purdueanyway so it seemed like a good idea

Todd Thats fantastic So how long were you in the service

Meg I was in for six years all together That was the minimumcommitment So I could have done more but I was ready tomaybe try some other things after that time

Todd Did it go by fast

Meg Looking back it definitely did I think there are differentstages that went by slow or fast Like when I was in actual basic

training when youre in it it was super slow Like yourecounting on the hours every day because youre just desperateto finish and get out and get back to your family And I was youknow 17 so its a little different

But now looking back like I cant believe it was a full six yearsand now its so many years past that already So yeah I guessit did go by fast overall

Todd Yeah thats great So what was it like being a woman inthe military

Meg It was ndash well I served in a unit ndash I was a medic And somy unit a medical unit naturally has more women The ratio iscloser to 50-50 men and women which isnt ndash at least that timewasnt ndash I dont have the current statistics but it isnt that kind of

ratio for the Army as a whole or the military as a whole

And so for me there was ndash I was with a lot of other women alsowhen I was serving But for me personally there were definitelychallenges especially when I was first in basic training like Idefinitely felt personal pressure to try to keep up with the guysWith everything whether its you know physically being able to

lift and carry these heavy boxes and whatever You know youhave the same requirements that you have to do And younever want to be the weak link

And I think some other women maybe suffered a little morebecause they couldnt keep up quite as well And so that can bea little difficult But maybe Im naturally a bit more suited for those kinds of things So I did okay but I definitely wanted toand tried hard to keep up with the physical aspect which isnt aseasy sometimes for women

Todd Well thats interesting So you do look pretty fit so youmust have been really fit back in the day

Meg Yeah I think Yeah especially basic training becauseyoure never like not running Anytime youre walkingsomewhere youre just running running running like theymake you run everywhere And you get like 5 minutes to eatbreakfast and lunch and dinner Every time you have to eat itso fast And then youre doing all this physical training and thengoing through obstacle courses and carrying heavy packsand carrying your weapon round

Yeah So that was probably the most fit Ive ever been Imdefinitely not that now

Todd Right So if you had a daughter would you recommendthat she goes in the military or would you recommend other women to join the military

Meg I would not recommend it I guess I dont go aroundtelling everyone Oh you should just join the military But Ithink if someone ndash if there is a woman who is interested in it or thinking about it I would definitely ndash for me I mean it workedout great There are a lot of like leadership and personalcharacter qualities that I was really able to develop during mytime that have continued to benefit me now

And so for a woman who is interested I would definitely sayGo for it

Todd So Meg you are talking about being inthe military and you said you were a medicCan you explain what that is

Meg Yeah So a medic which now I believeis called health care specialist is ndash I alwayssay its kind of similar to being like aparamedic where its not a full nurse job Ithink nurses have more training like in civilianside nurses but similar to paramedic where you have certain likeminor procedures that youre trained to do and high-level thingsthan just an EMT like doing IVs and giving shots and stitches andthings like that

And youre trained ndash because its the mili tary youre especiallytrained for emergency situations and how to treat someone whohas maybe some serious life-threatening wounds So thats a medic

Todd Wow That sounds like a really difficult job I mean its notyour typical just soldier job You must have had a lot of schoolingand education

Meg I had ndash well everyone goes through the initial about two anda half months like basic training And thats more kind of basiccombat skills and physical training that kind of thing And then I hadfour months past that to train to be a medic So we went through likeemergency medical technician course just like civilian side I gotcertified with that And then we had additional training for the militaryskills like IVs and emergency procedures that kind of thing

Todd Right Can you explain what IV is

Meg IV is an intravenous ndash like getting fluids into your body So if youve been injured and youve lost a lot of blood or maybe youredehydrated and you need some fluid in your body quickly then we

stick a needle into your vein and then the fluids go in And theneedle comes back out but a little tube stays in And then you canget fluids quickly that way

Todd So anybody thats been to the doctor knows thats alwayskind of the anxious moment when the nurse or the person whosgoing to stick the needle in Were you good at doing that

Meg So once I learned how to do it I think I was pretty good And Iactually enjoyed doing it not in a creepy way but you know it was ndashI guess because I was decent at it that it was a part of my job that Ienjoyed

But for myself before we went through that training I actuallybecame dehydrated and needed to get an IV myself And I wasterrified because I really hadnt had that before in my life And sothe nurse was going to come you know put the needle in my arm

and I was like No isnt there another Ill just drink a lot of water And she was saying Arent you going to be a medic And I waslike Oh I havent trained yet Dont do it So yeah

Todd Oh thats cool Yeah I was recently in the hospital and theyhad me strapped up for both blood and for the water theintravenous drip And its annoying because you cant really move

Meg Yeah yeah Or at least you have to careful When I wasgetting the IV I didnt know that the needle doesnt stay in your armNow for some things it does For blood maybe its different Im notsure But yeah so I was trying to be so careful too but you still wantit to go well so you dont want to move very much

Todd Right So what percentage of people would you say freak outwhen they get the needle

Todd Oh really

Meg Yeah Even you know tough Army guys would come in andbe ndash and theyd be like Oh Im fine Im fine in a bit Well weneed to give you an IV And theyd be like Oh

Todd Right Yeah Nobody likes that

Meg No

Todd So you transitioned You were in the medical profession andthen you moved to education Why did you leave the medicalprofession for education

Meg Yeah Thats interesting because I became a medic in themilitary because I thought after I ndash when I could continue collegethat I would be a nurse or a doctor But my time serving as a medichelped me learn that that was not what I wanted to do for my career

after all

So I definitely am glad that I had those skills and the things that Ilearned and was able to experience But I had ndash English had kind of been on the back burner And so then I said Okay let me revisitthis and it led to English education

Todd Wow Have you ever thought about being like an Englishspecialist for people in the medical fields like teaching doctors andnurses

Meg I guess I havent thought about that specifically Sometimes Ithought about going back to military They do have something likeEnglish schools in the military And so I guess that would berelated Also it could be ndash yeah so that would be interestingSomething to think about

But you know you get to see a little person change everydayand start figuring things out And of course every person everyparent thinks that their child is the smartest child in the worldHe can turn off and on the light switch you know but its thosetypes of things that you just marvel at

So you know I can say like most people that its everythingabout it is very positive But its often just the really really smallthings that make you appreciate this little wonder

1356 Baby on BoardJeremy talks about the difficulty of taking care of a baby whiletaking a long flight

Abidemi So Jeremy you mentionedearlier that yoursquove been back to Canadawith your baby How was that experience

Jeremy Well I mean until you fly with atoddler you really never get to appreciateall of those times that you flew across theocean you know watching movies or reading magazines or just sleeping on theflight because those days are over

Abidemi Wow

Jeremy I mean itrsquos not that bad but when yoursquore on the planeyou say ldquoNever againrdquo I remember about halfway into a 10-hour trans-Pacific flight I thought ldquoWell I can maybe do thisevery three years but not more than once a year for surerdquo

I mean first of all our boy was bigger than most children for hisage So he was about one year old And you know they havethese bassinets that yoursquore allowed to put your child in andyou know the baby will hopefully sleep for a while So thestewardess sets up the bassinet wersquore all ready to put him inthere and then she says ldquoHow old is herdquo And he was 12 kilosand this was for 115 maximum

Abidemi Oh no

Jeremy And they wouldnrsquot let us put him in there so they hadto take the whole thing apart and basically we had to findsome way to have him sleep on our laps for the next nine hours

Abidemi Oh wow

Jeremy I mean you know one-year old like to crawl aroundThey like to scream they like to cry Other people on the flightdonrsquot like that so much So you know itrsquos basically every minuteof silence you just savor and just pray that this will keep goingand it never does

But you know once he falls asleep and the plane is quiet andthey turn off the lights then you know itrsquos okay But itrsquos too longItrsquos too long for a one-year old So I can maybe manage it oncea year but thatrsquos about it

Abidemi I remember my sister she has two kids and she toldme a story a few years back when one of her daughters wasstill a toddler and they went to Disneyland from Canada Andshe said it was just horrible and they would never do it again

And I just smiled I didnrsquot have that experience I was justthinking ldquoWhat could be so bad about itrdquo But hearing your story now wow I can only imagine

Jeremy Well I think that ndash actually most people mostpassengers on the flight are usually quite understanding And I

understanding

Most passengers on the flight areusually quite understanding

Here understanding means patientand sympathetic Notice the following

1 He was quite understanding of our situation

2 Doctors need to be very understanding of patients fears

in their head

Itrsquos just in the parentsrsquo head

When a thought is in your head thatmeans you worry about it and perhaps

more than necessary

1 Babies love to around

2 I need to my bike

3 You lack of confidence is all

4 Before I was thin but those days are

5 You should never someone until youknow them

6 Try to be of my situation

think itrsquos just you know in the parentsrsquo head that everybody is judging them everybody is looking at them Because youknow I get so worried about what other people are thinking thatinconveniencing others that I just work myself up so much andmy wife is the same way

But you know talking ndash actually we did have people say to uslike ldquoDonrsquot worry about itrdquo They will just go out of their way tosay ldquoOh what a cute babyrdquo and stuff like that So I think peoplewere kind of aware of how stressful it is for parents

And they just ndash some people actually make an effort to makeparents feel like everybody is not silently judging them or maybenot even silently

Abidemi Okay Not saying anything If you had an advice oneadvice to give to a parent that would travel with that child in thefuture what would you tell them

Jeremy My best advice is if you can fly in the morning So after baby wakes up and you have your breakfast and your flight ismaybe at I donrsquot know 900 or 1000 in the morning I think thatworks out if itrsquos a say a 10-hour flight because yoursquoll land itrsquoll beprobably around bedtime like his normal bedtime

The first time we did it the flight was in the late evening Sobasically hersquod been up all day And then there was another 10hours on top of that So you know when we landed thereadjustment to his normal schedule was really really difficultBut when we flew in the morning and it was a 10-hour flight

when we landed he just basically went to sleep like a normalschedule

So thatrsquos a small thing but it really makes a big difference

Abidemi Thank you

Todd So Meg I thought we would talk alittle bit about the military Now you wereactually in the military

Meg Yes I was actually in the ArmyNational Guard So I enlisted when I was17 In America in the National Guardeach state can have kind of different rulesor different requirements And so inIndiana you can enlist when you are 17 with parentalpermission So I did that

Todd Wow Seventeen is really young age

Meg Yeah And it sort of happened really quick I mean I was a junior in high school and I got a call from a recruiter And at firstI was really against it but then in Indiana if you enlist and youserve your time theyll pay your college tuition if you go to astate college

So Indiana has Purdue and I was interested in going to Purdueanyway so it seemed like a good idea

Todd Thats fantastic So how long were you in the service

Meg I was in for six years all together That was the minimumcommitment So I could have done more but I was ready tomaybe try some other things after that time

Todd Did it go by fast

Meg Looking back it definitely did I think there are differentstages that went by slow or fast Like when I was in actual basic

training when youre in it it was super slow Like yourecounting on the hours every day because youre just desperateto finish and get out and get back to your family And I was youknow 17 so its a little different

But now looking back like I cant believe it was a full six yearsand now its so many years past that already So yeah I guessit did go by fast overall

Todd Yeah thats great So what was it like being a woman inthe military

Meg It was ndash well I served in a unit ndash I was a medic And somy unit a medical unit naturally has more women The ratio iscloser to 50-50 men and women which isnt ndash at least that timewasnt ndash I dont have the current statistics but it isnt that kind of

ratio for the Army as a whole or the military as a whole

And so for me there was ndash I was with a lot of other women alsowhen I was serving But for me personally there were definitelychallenges especially when I was first in basic training like Idefinitely felt personal pressure to try to keep up with the guysWith everything whether its you know physically being able to

lift and carry these heavy boxes and whatever You know youhave the same requirements that you have to do And younever want to be the weak link

And I think some other women maybe suffered a little morebecause they couldnt keep up quite as well And so that can bea little difficult But maybe Im naturally a bit more suited for those kinds of things So I did okay but I definitely wanted toand tried hard to keep up with the physical aspect which isnt aseasy sometimes for women

Todd Well thats interesting So you do look pretty fit so youmust have been really fit back in the day

Meg Yeah I think Yeah especially basic training becauseyoure never like not running Anytime youre walkingsomewhere youre just running running running like theymake you run everywhere And you get like 5 minutes to eatbreakfast and lunch and dinner Every time you have to eat itso fast And then youre doing all this physical training and thengoing through obstacle courses and carrying heavy packsand carrying your weapon round

Yeah So that was probably the most fit Ive ever been Imdefinitely not that now

Todd Right So if you had a daughter would you recommendthat she goes in the military or would you recommend other women to join the military

Meg I would not recommend it I guess I dont go aroundtelling everyone Oh you should just join the military But Ithink if someone ndash if there is a woman who is interested in it or thinking about it I would definitely ndash for me I mean it workedout great There are a lot of like leadership and personalcharacter qualities that I was really able to develop during mytime that have continued to benefit me now

And so for a woman who is interested I would definitely sayGo for it

Todd So Meg you are talking about being inthe military and you said you were a medicCan you explain what that is

Meg Yeah So a medic which now I believeis called health care specialist is ndash I alwayssay its kind of similar to being like aparamedic where its not a full nurse job Ithink nurses have more training like in civilianside nurses but similar to paramedic where you have certain likeminor procedures that youre trained to do and high-level thingsthan just an EMT like doing IVs and giving shots and stitches andthings like that

And youre trained ndash because its the mili tary youre especiallytrained for emergency situations and how to treat someone whohas maybe some serious life-threatening wounds So thats a medic

Todd Wow That sounds like a really difficult job I mean its notyour typical just soldier job You must have had a lot of schoolingand education

Meg I had ndash well everyone goes through the initial about two anda half months like basic training And thats more kind of basiccombat skills and physical training that kind of thing And then I hadfour months past that to train to be a medic So we went through likeemergency medical technician course just like civilian side I gotcertified with that And then we had additional training for the militaryskills like IVs and emergency procedures that kind of thing

Todd Right Can you explain what IV is

Meg IV is an intravenous ndash like getting fluids into your body So if youve been injured and youve lost a lot of blood or maybe youredehydrated and you need some fluid in your body quickly then we

stick a needle into your vein and then the fluids go in And theneedle comes back out but a little tube stays in And then you canget fluids quickly that way

Todd So anybody thats been to the doctor knows thats alwayskind of the anxious moment when the nurse or the person whosgoing to stick the needle in Were you good at doing that

Meg So once I learned how to do it I think I was pretty good And Iactually enjoyed doing it not in a creepy way but you know it was ndashI guess because I was decent at it that it was a part of my job that Ienjoyed

But for myself before we went through that training I actuallybecame dehydrated and needed to get an IV myself And I wasterrified because I really hadnt had that before in my life And sothe nurse was going to come you know put the needle in my arm

and I was like No isnt there another Ill just drink a lot of water And she was saying Arent you going to be a medic And I waslike Oh I havent trained yet Dont do it So yeah

Todd Oh thats cool Yeah I was recently in the hospital and theyhad me strapped up for both blood and for the water theintravenous drip And its annoying because you cant really move

Meg Yeah yeah Or at least you have to careful When I wasgetting the IV I didnt know that the needle doesnt stay in your armNow for some things it does For blood maybe its different Im notsure But yeah so I was trying to be so careful too but you still wantit to go well so you dont want to move very much

Todd Right So what percentage of people would you say freak outwhen they get the needle

Todd Right Yeah Nobody likes that

Meg No

Todd So you transitioned You were in the medical profession andthen you moved to education Why did you leave the medicalprofession for education

Meg Yeah Thats interesting because I became a medic in themilitary because I thought after I ndash when I could continue collegethat I would be a nurse or a doctor But my time serving as a medichelped me learn that that was not what I wanted to do for my career

after all

So I definitely am glad that I had those skills and the things that Ilearned and was able to experience But I had ndash English had kind of been on the back burner And so then I said Okay let me revisitthis and it led to English education

Todd Wow Have you ever thought about being like an Englishspecialist for people in the medical fields like teaching doctors andnurses

Meg I guess I havent thought about that specifically Sometimes Ithought about going back to military They do have something likeEnglish schools in the military And so I guess that would berelated Also it could be ndash yeah so that would be interestingSomething to think about

I mean first of all our boy was bigger than most children for hisage So he was about one year old And you know they havethese bassinets that yoursquore allowed to put your child in andyou know the baby will hopefully sleep for a while So thestewardess sets up the bassinet wersquore all ready to put him inthere and then she says ldquoHow old is herdquo And he was 12 kilosand this was for 115 maximum

Abidemi Oh no

Jeremy And they wouldnrsquot let us put him in there so they hadto take the whole thing apart and basically we had to findsome way to have him sleep on our laps for the next nine hours

Abidemi Oh wow

Jeremy I mean you know one-year old like to crawl aroundThey like to scream they like to cry Other people on the flightdonrsquot like that so much So you know itrsquos basically every minuteof silence you just savor and just pray that this will keep goingand it never does

But you know once he falls asleep and the plane is quiet andthey turn off the lights then you know itrsquos okay But itrsquos too longItrsquos too long for a one-year old So I can maybe manage it oncea year but thatrsquos about it

Abidemi I remember my sister she has two kids and she toldme a story a few years back when one of her daughters wasstill a toddler and they went to Disneyland from Canada Andshe said it was just horrible and they would never do it again

And I just smiled I didnrsquot have that experience I was justthinking ldquoWhat could be so bad about itrdquo But hearing your story now wow I can only imagine

understanding

1 Babies love to around

2 I need to my bike

3 You lack of confidence is all

4 Before I was thin but those days are

5 You should never someone until youknow them

6 Try to be of my situation

think itrsquos just you know in the parentsrsquo head that everybody is judging them everybody is looking at them Because youknow I get so worried about what other people are thinking thatinconveniencing others that I just work myself up so much andmy wife is the same way

But you know talking ndash actually we did have people say to uslike ldquoDonrsquot worry about itrdquo They will just go out of their way tosay ldquoOh what a cute babyrdquo and stuff like that So I think peoplewere kind of aware of how stressful it is for parents

And they just ndash some people actually make an effort to makeparents feel like everybody is not silently judging them or maybenot even silently

Abidemi Okay Not saying anything If you had an advice oneadvice to give to a parent that would travel with that child in thefuture what would you tell them

Jeremy My best advice is if you can fly in the morning So after baby wakes up and you have your breakfast and your flight ismaybe at I donrsquot know 900 or 1000 in the morning I think thatworks out if itrsquos a say a 10-hour flight because yoursquoll land itrsquoll beprobably around bedtime like his normal bedtime

The first time we did it the flight was in the late evening Sobasically hersquod been up all day And then there was another 10hours on top of that So you know when we landed thereadjustment to his normal schedule was really really difficultBut when we flew in the morning and it was a 10-hour flight

when we landed he just basically went to sleep like a normalschedule

So thatrsquos a small thing but it really makes a big difference

Abidemi Thank you

Meg Yes I was actually in the ArmyNational Guard So I enlisted when I was17 In America in the National Guardeach state can have kind of different rulesor different requirements And so inIndiana you can enlist when you are 17 with parentalpermission So I did that

Todd Wow Seventeen is really young age

Meg Yeah And it sort of happened really quick I mean I was a junior in high school and I got a call from a recruiter And at firstI was really against it but then in Indiana if you enlist and youserve your time theyll pay your college tuition if you go to astate college

So Indiana has Purdue and I was interested in going to Purdueanyway so it seemed like a good idea

Todd Thats fantastic So how long were you in the service

Meg I was in for six years all together That was the minimumcommitment So I could have done more but I was ready tomaybe try some other things after that time

Todd Did it go by fast

Meg Looking back it definitely did I think there are differentstages that went by slow or fast Like when I was in actual basic

training when youre in it it was super slow Like yourecounting on the hours every day because youre just desperateto finish and get out and get back to your family And I was youknow 17 so its a little different

But now looking back like I cant believe it was a full six yearsand now its so many years past that already So yeah I guessit did go by fast overall

Todd Yeah thats great So what was it like being a woman inthe military

Meg It was ndash well I served in a unit ndash I was a medic And somy unit a medical unit naturally has more women The ratio iscloser to 50-50 men and women which isnt ndash at least that timewasnt ndash I dont have the current statistics but it isnt that kind of

ratio for the Army as a whole or the military as a whole

And so for me there was ndash I was with a lot of other women alsowhen I was serving But for me personally there were definitelychallenges especially when I was first in basic training like Idefinitely felt personal pressure to try to keep up with the guysWith everything whether its you know physically being able to

And I think some other women maybe suffered a little morebecause they couldnt keep up quite as well And so that can bea little difficult But maybe Im naturally a bit more suited for those kinds of things So I did okay but I definitely wanted toand tried hard to keep up with the physical aspect which isnt aseasy sometimes for women

Todd Well thats interesting So you do look pretty fit so youmust have been really fit back in the day

Meg Yeah I think Yeah especially basic training becauseyoure never like not running Anytime youre walkingsomewhere youre just running running running like theymake you run everywhere And you get like 5 minutes to eatbreakfast and lunch and dinner Every time you have to eat itso fast And then youre doing all this physical training and thengoing through obstacle courses and carrying heavy packsand carrying your weapon round

Yeah So that was probably the most fit Ive ever been Imdefinitely not that now

Todd Right So if you had a daughter would you recommendthat she goes in the military or would you recommend other women to join the military

Meg I would not recommend it I guess I dont go aroundtelling everyone Oh you should just join the military But Ithink if someone ndash if there is a woman who is interested in it or thinking about it I would definitely ndash for me I mean it workedout great There are a lot of like leadership and personalcharacter qualities that I was really able to develop during mytime that have continued to benefit me now

Meg Yeah So a medic which now I believeis called health care specialist is ndash I alwayssay its kind of similar to being like aparamedic where its not a full nurse job Ithink nurses have more training like in civilianside nurses but similar to paramedic where you have certain likeminor procedures that youre trained to do and high-level thingsthan just an EMT like doing IVs and giving shots and stitches andthings like that

And youre trained ndash because its the mili tary youre especiallytrained for emergency situations and how to treat someone whohas maybe some serious life-threatening wounds So thats a medic

Meg I had ndash well everyone goes through the initial about two anda half months like basic training And thats more kind of basiccombat skills and physical training that kind of thing And then I hadfour months past that to train to be a medic So we went through likeemergency medical technician course just like civilian side I gotcertified with that And then we had additional training for the militaryskills like IVs and emergency procedures that kind of thing

Todd Right Can you explain what IV is

Meg IV is an intravenous ndash like getting fluids into your body So if youve been injured and youve lost a lot of blood or maybe youredehydrated and you need some fluid in your body quickly then we

stick a needle into your vein and then the fluids go in And theneedle comes back out but a little tube stays in And then you canget fluids quickly that way

Todd So anybody thats been to the doctor knows thats alwayskind of the anxious moment when the nurse or the person whosgoing to stick the needle in Were you good at doing that

Meg So once I learned how to do it I think I was pretty good And Iactually enjoyed doing it not in a creepy way but you know it was ndashI guess because I was decent at it that it was a part of my job that Ienjoyed

But for myself before we went through that training I actuallybecame dehydrated and needed to get an IV myself And I wasterrified because I really hadnt had that before in my life And sothe nurse was going to come you know put the needle in my arm

and I was like No isnt there another Ill just drink a lot of water And she was saying Arent you going to be a medic And I waslike Oh I havent trained yet Dont do it So yeah

1356 Baby on BoardJeremy talks about the difficulty of taking care of a baby whiletaking a long flight

Abidemi So Jeremy you mentionedearlier that yoursquove been back to Canadawith your baby How was that experience

Jeremy Well I mean until you fly with atoddler you really never get to appreciateall of those times that you flew across theocean you know watching movies or reading magazines or just sleeping on theflight because those days are over

Abidemi Wow

Jeremy I mean itrsquos not that bad but when yoursquore on the planeyou say ldquoNever againrdquo I remember about halfway into a 10-hour trans-Pacific flight I thought ldquoWell I can maybe do thisevery three years but not more than once a year for surerdquo

I mean first of all our boy was bigger than most children for hisage So he was about one year old And you know they havethese bassinets that yoursquore allowed to put your child in andyou know the baby will hopefully sleep for a while So thestewardess sets up the bassinet wersquore all ready to put him inthere and then she says ldquoHow old is herdquo And he was 12 kilosand this was for 115 maximum

Abidemi Oh no

Jeremy And they wouldnrsquot let us put him in there so they hadto take the whole thing apart and basically we had to findsome way to have him sleep on our laps for the next nine hours

Abidemi Oh wow

Jeremy I mean you know one-year old like to crawl aroundThey like to scream they like to cry Other people on the flightdonrsquot like that so much So you know itrsquos basically every minuteof silence you just savor and just pray that this will keep goingand it never does

But you know once he falls asleep and the plane is quiet andthey turn off the lights then you know itrsquos okay But itrsquos too longItrsquos too long for a one-year old So I can maybe manage it oncea year but thatrsquos about it

Abidemi I remember my sister she has two kids and she toldme a story a few years back when one of her daughters wasstill a toddler and they went to Disneyland from Canada Andshe said it was just horrible and they would never do it again

And I just smiled I didnrsquot have that experience I was justthinking ldquoWhat could be so bad about itrdquo But hearing your story now wow I can only imagine

Jeremy Well I think that ndash actually most people mostpassengers on the flight are usually quite understanding And I

3 You lack of confidence is all

4 Before I was thin but those days are

5 You should never someone until youknow them

6 Try to be of my situation

think itrsquos just you know in the parentsrsquo head that everybody is judging them everybody is looking at them Because youknow I get so worried about what other people are thinking thatinconveniencing others that I just work myself up so much andmy wife is the same way

But you know talking ndash actually we did have people say to uslike ldquoDonrsquot worry about itrdquo They will just go out of their way tosay ldquoOh what a cute babyrdquo and stuff like that So I think peoplewere kind of aware of how stressful it is for parents

And they just ndash some people actually make an effort to makeparents feel like everybody is not silently judging them or maybenot even silently

Abidemi Okay Not saying anything If you had an advice oneadvice to give to a parent that would travel with that child in thefuture what would you tell them

Jeremy My best advice is if you can fly in the morning So after baby wakes up and you have your breakfast and your flight ismaybe at I donrsquot know 900 or 1000 in the morning I think thatworks out if itrsquos a say a 10-hour flight because yoursquoll land itrsquoll beprobably around bedtime like his normal bedtime

The first time we did it the flight was in the late evening Sobasically hersquod been up all day And then there was another 10hours on top of that So you know when we landed thereadjustment to his normal schedule was really really difficultBut when we flew in the morning and it was a 10-hour flight

when we landed he just basically went to sleep like a normalschedule

So thatrsquos a small thing but it really makes a big difference

Abidemi Thank you

Todd So Meg I thought we would talk alittle bit about the military Now you wereactually in the military

Meg Yes I was actually in the ArmyNational Guard So I enlisted when I was17 In America in the National Guardeach state can have kind of different rulesor different requirements And so inIndiana you can enlist when you are 17 with parentalpermission So I did that

Meg Yeah And it sort of happened really quick I mean I was a junior in high school and I got a call from a recruiter And at firstI was really against it but then in Indiana if you enlist and youserve your time theyll pay your college tuition if you go to astate college

So Indiana has Purdue and I was interested in going to Purdueanyway so it seemed like a good idea

training when youre in it it was super slow Like yourecounting on the hours every day because youre just desperateto finish and get out and get back to your family And I was youknow 17 so its a little different

But now looking back like I cant believe it was a full six yearsand now its so many years past that already So yeah I guessit did go by fast overall

Todd Yeah thats great So what was it like being a woman inthe military

Meg It was ndash well I served in a unit ndash I was a medic And somy unit a medical unit naturally has more women The ratio iscloser to 50-50 men and women which isnt ndash at least that timewasnt ndash I dont have the current statistics but it isnt that kind of

ratio for the Army as a whole or the military as a whole

Todd So Meg you are talking about being inthe military and you said you were a medicCan you explain what that is

Meg Yeah So a medic which now I believeis called health care specialist is ndash I alwayssay its kind of similar to being like aparamedic where its not a full nurse job Ithink nurses have more training like in civilianside nurses but similar to paramedic where you have certain likeminor procedures that youre trained to do and high-level thingsthan just an EMT like doing IVs and giving shots and stitches andthings like that

And youre trained ndash because its the mili tary youre especiallytrained for emergency situations and how to treat someone whohas maybe some serious life-threatening wounds So thats a medic

Todd Wow That sounds like a really difficult job I mean its notyour typical just soldier job You must have had a lot of schoolingand education

Meg I had ndash well everyone goes through the initial about two anda half months like basic training And thats more kind of basiccombat skills and physical training that kind of thing And then I hadfour months past that to train to be a medic So we went through likeemergency medical technician course just like civilian side I gotcertified with that And then we had additional training for the militaryskills like IVs and emergency procedures that kind of thing

Todd Right Can you explain what IV is

Meg IV is an intravenous ndash like getting fluids into your body So if youve been injured and youve lost a lot of blood or maybe youredehydrated and you need some fluid in your body quickly then we

stick a needle into your vein and then the fluids go in And theneedle comes back out but a little tube stays in And then you canget fluids quickly that way

Todd So anybody thats been to the doctor knows thats alwayskind of the anxious moment when the nurse or the person whosgoing to stick the needle in Were you good at doing that

Meg So once I learned how to do it I think I was pretty good And Iactually enjoyed doing it not in a creepy way but you know it was ndashI guess because I was decent at it that it was a part of my job that Ienjoyed

But for myself before we went through that training I actuallybecame dehydrated and needed to get an IV myself And I wasterrified because I really hadnt had that before in my life And sothe nurse was going to come you know put the needle in my arm

and I was like No isnt there another Ill just drink a lot of water And she was saying Arent you going to be a medic And I waslike Oh I havent trained yet Dont do it So yeah

Todd Oh thats cool Yeah I was recently in the hospital and theyhad me strapped up for both blood and for the water theintravenous drip And its annoying because you cant really move

Todd Right Yeah Nobody likes that

Meg No

Todd So you transitioned You were in the medical profession andthen you moved to education Why did you leave the medicalprofession for education

Meg Yeah Thats interesting because I became a medic in themilitary because I thought after I ndash when I could continue collegethat I would be a nurse or a doctor But my time serving as a medichelped me learn that that was not what I wanted to do for my career

after all

So I definitely am glad that I had those skills and the things that Ilearned and was able to experience But I had ndash English had kind of been on the back burner And so then I said Okay let me revisitthis and it led to English education

Abidemi So Jeremy you mentionedearlier that yoursquove been back to Canadawith your baby How was that experience

Jeremy Well I mean until you fly with atoddler you really never get to appreciateall of those times that you flew across theocean you know watching movies or reading magazines or just sleeping on theflight because those days are over

Abidemi Wow

Jeremy I mean itrsquos not that bad but when yoursquore on the planeyou say ldquoNever againrdquo I remember about halfway into a 10-hour trans-Pacific flight I thought ldquoWell I can maybe do thisevery three years but not more than once a year for surerdquo

I mean first of all our boy was bigger than most children for hisage So he was about one year old And you know they havethese bassinets that yoursquore allowed to put your child in andyou know the baby will hopefully sleep for a while So thestewardess sets up the bassinet wersquore all ready to put him inthere and then she says ldquoHow old is herdquo And he was 12 kilosand this was for 115 maximum

Abidemi Oh no

Jeremy And they wouldnrsquot let us put him in there so they hadto take the whole thing apart and basically we had to findsome way to have him sleep on our laps for the next nine hours

Abidemi Oh wow

Jeremy I mean you know one-year old like to crawl aroundThey like to scream they like to cry Other people on the flightdonrsquot like that so much So you know itrsquos basically every minuteof silence you just savor and just pray that this will keep goingand it never does

But you know once he falls asleep and the plane is quiet andthey turn off the lights then you know itrsquos okay But itrsquos too longItrsquos too long for a one-year old So I can maybe manage it oncea year but thatrsquos about it

Abidemi I remember my sister she has two kids and she toldme a story a few years back when one of her daughters wasstill a toddler and they went to Disneyland from Canada Andshe said it was just horrible and they would never do it again

And I just smiled I didnrsquot have that experience I was justthinking ldquoWhat could be so bad about itrdquo But hearing your story now wow I can only imagine

understanding

3 You lack of confidence is all

4 Before I was thin but those days are

5 You should never someone until youknow them

6 Try to be of my situation

think itrsquos just you know in the parentsrsquo head that everybody is judging them everybody is looking at them Because youknow I get so worried about what other people are thinking thatinconveniencing others that I just work myself up so much andmy wife is the same way

But you know talking ndash actually we did have people say to uslike ldquoDonrsquot worry about itrdquo They will just go out of their way tosay ldquoOh what a cute babyrdquo and stuff like that So I think peoplewere kind of aware of how stressful it is for parents

And they just ndash some people actually make an effort to makeparents feel like everybody is not silently judging them or maybenot even silently

Abidemi Okay Not saying anything If you had an advice oneadvice to give to a parent that would travel with that child in thefuture what would you tell them

Jeremy My best advice is if you can fly in the morning So after baby wakes up and you have your breakfast and your flight ismaybe at I donrsquot know 900 or 1000 in the morning I think thatworks out if itrsquos a say a 10-hour flight because yoursquoll land itrsquoll beprobably around bedtime like his normal bedtime

The first time we did it the flight was in the late evening Sobasically hersquod been up all day And then there was another 10hours on top of that So you know when we landed thereadjustment to his normal schedule was really really difficultBut when we flew in the morning and it was a 10-hour flight

when we landed he just basically went to sleep like a normalschedule

So thatrsquos a small thing but it really makes a big difference

Abidemi Thank you

1369 Women in UniformMeg talks about being a woman in the military and why shechose that path

Todd So Meg I thought we would talk alittle bit about the military Now you wereactually in the military

Meg Yes I was actually in the ArmyNational Guard So I enlisted when I was17 In America in the National Guardeach state can have kind of different rulesor different requirements And so inIndiana you can enlist when you are 17 with parentalpermission So I did that

Todd Wow Seventeen is really young age

Meg Yeah And it sort of happened really quick I mean I was a junior in high school and I got a call from a recruiter And at firstI was really against it but then in Indiana if you enlist and youserve your time theyll pay your college tuition if you go to astate college

So Indiana has Purdue and I was interested in going to Purdueanyway so it seemed like a good idea

Todd Thats fantastic So how long were you in the service

Meg I was in for six years all together That was the minimumcommitment So I could have done more but I was ready tomaybe try some other things after that time

Todd Did it go by fast

Meg Looking back it definitely did I think there are differentstages that went by slow or fast Like when I was in actual basic

training when youre in it it was super slow Like yourecounting on the hours every day because youre just desperateto finish and get out and get back to your family And I was youknow 17 so its a little different

But now looking back like I cant believe it was a full six yearsand now its so many years past that already So yeah I guessit did go by fast overall

Todd Yeah thats great So what was it like being a woman inthe military

Meg It was ndash well I served in a unit ndash I was a medic And somy unit a medical unit naturally has more women The ratio iscloser to 50-50 men and women which isnt ndash at least that timewasnt ndash I dont have the current statistics but it isnt that kind of

ratio for the Army as a whole or the military as a whole

And so for me there was ndash I was with a lot of other women alsowhen I was serving But for me personally there were definitelychallenges especially when I was first in basic training like Idefinitely felt personal pressure to try to keep up with the guysWith everything whether its you know physically being able to

6 I think you can do it You should

lift and carry these heavy boxes and whatever You know youhave the same requirements that you have to do And younever want to be the weak link

And I think some other women maybe suffered a little morebecause they couldnt keep up quite as well And so that can bea little difficult But maybe Im naturally a bit more suited for those kinds of things So I did okay but I definitely wanted toand tried hard to keep up with the physical aspect which isnt aseasy sometimes for women

Todd Well thats interesting So you do look pretty fit so youmust have been really fit back in the day

Meg Yeah I think Yeah especially basic training becauseyoure never like not running Anytime youre walkingsomewhere youre just running running running like theymake you run everywhere And you get like 5 minutes to eatbreakfast and lunch and dinner Every time you have to eat itso fast And then youre doing all this physical training and thengoing through obstacle courses and carrying heavy packsand carrying your weapon round

Yeah So that was probably the most fit Ive ever been Imdefinitely not that now

Todd Right So if you had a daughter would you recommendthat she goes in the military or would you recommend other women to join the military

Meg I would not recommend it I guess I dont go aroundtelling everyone Oh you should just join the military But Ithink if someone ndash if there is a woman who is interested in it or thinking about it I would definitely ndash for me I mean it workedout great There are a lot of like leadership and personalcharacter qualities that I was really able to develop during mytime that have continued to benefit me now

And so for a woman who is interested I would definitely sayGo for it

Todd So Meg you are talking about being inthe military and you said you were a medicCan you explain what that is

Meg Yeah So a medic which now I believeis called health care specialist is ndash I alwayssay its kind of similar to being like aparamedic where its not a full nurse job Ithink nurses have more training like in civilianside nurses but similar to paramedic where you have certain likeminor procedures that youre trained to do and high-level thingsthan just an EMT like doing IVs and giving shots and stitches andthings like that

And youre trained ndash because its the mili tary youre especiallytrained for emergency situations and how to treat someone whohas maybe some serious life-threatening wounds So thats a medic

Todd Wow That sounds like a really difficult job I mean its notyour typical just soldier job You must have had a lot of schoolingand education

Meg I had ndash well everyone goes through the initial about two anda half months like basic training And thats more kind of basiccombat skills and physical training that kind of thing And then I hadfour months past that to train to be a medic So we went through likeemergency medical technician course just like civilian side I gotcertified with that And then we had additional training for the militaryskills like IVs and emergency procedures that kind of thing

Todd Right Can you explain what IV is

Meg IV is an intravenous ndash like getting fluids into your body So if youve been injured and youve lost a lot of blood or maybe youredehydrated and you need some fluid in your body quickly then we

stick a needle into your vein and then the fluids go in And theneedle comes back out but a little tube stays in And then you canget fluids quickly that way

Todd So anybody thats been to the doctor knows thats alwayskind of the anxious moment when the nurse or the person whosgoing to stick the needle in Were you good at doing that

Meg So once I learned how to do it I think I was pretty good And Iactually enjoyed doing it not in a creepy way but you know it was ndashI guess because I was decent at it that it was a part of my job that Ienjoyed

But for myself before we went through that training I actuallybecame dehydrated and needed to get an IV myself And I wasterrified because I really hadnt had that before in my life And sothe nurse was going to come you know put the needle in my arm

and I was like No isnt there another Ill just drink a lot of water And she was saying Arent you going to be a medic And I waslike Oh I havent trained yet Dont do it So yeah

1356 Baby on BoardJeremy talks about the difficulty of taking care of a baby whiletaking a long flight

Abidemi So Jeremy you mentionedearlier that yoursquove been back to Canadawith your baby How was that experience

Jeremy Well I mean until you fly with atoddler you really never get to appreciateall of those times that you flew across theocean you know watching movies or reading magazines or just sleeping on theflight because those days are over

Abidemi Wow

Jeremy I mean itrsquos not that bad but when yoursquore on the planeyou say ldquoNever againrdquo I remember about halfway into a 10-hour trans-Pacific flight I thought ldquoWell I can maybe do thisevery three years but not more than once a year for surerdquo

I mean first of all our boy was bigger than most children for hisage So he was about one year old And you know they havethese bassinets that yoursquore allowed to put your child in andyou know the baby will hopefully sleep for a while So thestewardess sets up the bassinet wersquore all ready to put him inthere and then she says ldquoHow old is herdquo And he was 12 kilosand this was for 115 maximum

Abidemi Oh no

Jeremy And they wouldnrsquot let us put him in there so they hadto take the whole thing apart and basically we had to findsome way to have him sleep on our laps for the next nine hours

Abidemi Oh wow

Jeremy I mean you know one-year old like to crawl aroundThey like to scream they like to cry Other people on the flightdonrsquot like that so much So you know itrsquos basically every minuteof silence you just savor and just pray that this will keep goingand it never does

But you know once he falls asleep and the plane is quiet andthey turn off the lights then you know itrsquos okay But itrsquos too longItrsquos too long for a one-year old So I can maybe manage it oncea year but thatrsquos about it

Abidemi I remember my sister she has two kids and she toldme a story a few years back when one of her daughters wasstill a toddler and they went to Disneyland from Canada Andshe said it was just horrible and they would never do it again

And I just smiled I didnrsquot have that experience I was justthinking ldquoWhat could be so bad about itrdquo But hearing your story now wow I can only imagine

Jeremy Well I think that ndash actually most people mostpassengers on the flight are usually quite understanding And I

take (the whole thing) apart

understanding

in their head

1 Babies love to around

2 I need to my bike

3 You lack of confidence is all

4 Before I was thin but those days are

5 You should never someone until youknow them

6 Try to be of my situation

think itrsquos just you know in the parentsrsquo head that everybody is judging them everybody is looking at them Because youknow I get so worried about what other people are thinking thatinconveniencing others that I just work myself up so much andmy wife is the same way

But you know talking ndash actually we did have people say to uslike ldquoDonrsquot worry about itrdquo They will just go out of their way tosay ldquoOh what a cute babyrdquo and stuff like that So I think peoplewere kind of aware of how stressful it is for parents

And they just ndash some people actually make an effort to makeparents feel like everybody is not silently judging them or maybenot even silently

Abidemi Okay Not saying anything If you had an advice oneadvice to give to a parent that would travel with that child in thefuture what would you tell them

Jeremy My best advice is if you can fly in the morning So after baby wakes up and you have your breakfast and your flight ismaybe at I donrsquot know 900 or 1000 in the morning I think thatworks out if itrsquos a say a 10-hour flight because yoursquoll land itrsquoll beprobably around bedtime like his normal bedtime

The first time we did it the flight was in the late evening Sobasically hersquod been up all day And then there was another 10hours on top of that So you know when we landed thereadjustment to his normal schedule was really really difficultBut when we flew in the morning and it was a 10-hour flight

when we landed he just basically went to sleep like a normalschedule

So thatrsquos a small thing but it really makes a big difference

Abidemi Thank you

Todd So Meg I thought we would talk alittle bit about the military Now you wereactually in the military

Meg Yes I was actually in the ArmyNational Guard So I enlisted when I was17 In America in the National Guardeach state can have kind of different rulesor different requirements And so inIndiana you can enlist when you are 17 with parentalpermission So I did that

Todd Wow Seventeen is really young age

Meg Yeah And it sort of happened really quick I mean I was a junior in high school and I got a call from a recruiter And at firstI was really against it but then in Indiana if you enlist and youserve your time theyll pay your college tuition if you go to astate college

So Indiana has Purdue and I was interested in going to Purdueanyway so it seemed like a good idea

Todd Thats fantastic So how long were you in the service

Meg I was in for six years all together That was the minimumcommitment So I could have done more but I was ready tomaybe try some other things after that time

Todd Did it go by fast

Meg Looking back it definitely did I think there are differentstages that went by slow or fast Like when I was in actual basic

training when youre in it it was super slow Like yourecounting on the hours every day because youre just desperateto finish and get out and get back to your family And I was youknow 17 so its a little different

But now looking back like I cant believe it was a full six yearsand now its so many years past that already So yeah I guessit did go by fast overall

Todd Yeah thats great So what was it like being a woman inthe military

Meg It was ndash well I served in a unit ndash I was a medic And somy unit a medical unit naturally has more women The ratio iscloser to 50-50 men and women which isnt ndash at least that timewasnt ndash I dont have the current statistics but it isnt that kind of

ratio for the Army as a whole or the military as a whole

And so for me there was ndash I was with a lot of other women alsowhen I was serving But for me personally there were definitelychallenges especially when I was first in basic training like Idefinitely felt personal pressure to try to keep up with the guysWith everything whether its you know physically being able to

6 I think you can do it You should

lift and carry these heavy boxes and whatever You know youhave the same requirements that you have to do And younever want to be the weak link

And I think some other women maybe suffered a little morebecause they couldnt keep up quite as well And so that can bea little difficult But maybe Im naturally a bit more suited for those kinds of things So I did okay but I definitely wanted toand tried hard to keep up with the physical aspect which isnt aseasy sometimes for women

Todd Well thats interesting So you do look pretty fit so youmust have been really fit back in the day

Meg Yeah I think Yeah especially basic training becauseyoure never like not running Anytime youre walkingsomewhere youre just running running running like theymake you run everywhere And you get like 5 minutes to eatbreakfast and lunch and dinner Every time you have to eat itso fast And then youre doing all this physical training and thengoing through obstacle courses and carrying heavy packsand carrying your weapon round

Yeah So that was probably the most fit Ive ever been Imdefinitely not that now

Todd Right So if you had a daughter would you recommendthat she goes in the military or would you recommend other women to join the military

Meg I would not recommend it I guess I dont go aroundtelling everyone Oh you should just join the military But Ithink if someone ndash if there is a woman who is interested in it or thinking about it I would definitely ndash for me I mean it workedout great There are a lot of like leadership and personalcharacter qualities that I was really able to develop during mytime that have continued to benefit me now

And so for a woman who is interested I would definitely sayGo for it

Todd So Meg you are talking about being inthe military and you said you were a medicCan you explain what that is

Meg Yeah So a medic which now I believeis called health care specialist is ndash I alwayssay its kind of similar to being like aparamedic where its not a full nurse job Ithink nurses have more training like in civilianside nurses but similar to paramedic where you have certain likeminor procedures that youre trained to do and high-level thingsthan just an EMT like doing IVs and giving shots and stitches andthings like that

And youre trained ndash because its the mili tary youre especiallytrained for emergency situations and how to treat someone whohas maybe some serious life-threatening wounds So thats a medic

Meg I had ndash well everyone goes through the initial about two anda half months like basic training And thats more kind of basiccombat skills and physical training that kind of thing And then I hadfour months past that to train to be a medic So we went through likeemergency medical technician course just like civilian side I gotcertified with that And then we had additional training for the militaryskills like IVs and emergency procedures that kind of thing

Todd Right Can you explain what IV is

Meg IV is an intravenous ndash like getting fluids into your body So if youve been injured and youve lost a lot of blood or maybe youredehydrated and you need some fluid in your body quickly then we

stick a needle into your vein and then the fluids go in And theneedle comes back out but a little tube stays in And then you canget fluids quickly that way

Todd So anybody thats been to the doctor knows thats alwayskind of the anxious moment when the nurse or the person whosgoing to stick the needle in Were you good at doing that

Meg So once I learned how to do it I think I was pretty good And Iactually enjoyed doing it not in a creepy way but you know it was ndashI guess because I was decent at it that it was a part of my job that Ienjoyed

But for myself before we went through that training I actuallybecame dehydrated and needed to get an IV myself And I wasterrified because I really hadnt had that before in my life And sothe nurse was going to come you know put the needle in my arm

and I was like No isnt there another Ill just drink a lot of water And she was saying Arent you going to be a medic And I waslike Oh I havent trained yet Dont do it So yeah

Todd Oh thats cool Yeah I was recently in the hospital and theyhad me strapped up for both blood and for the water theintravenous drip And its annoying because you cant really move

Meg Yeah yeah Or at least you have to careful When I wasgetting the IV I didnt know that the needle doesnt stay in your armNow for some things it does For blood maybe its different Im notsure But yeah so I was trying to be so careful too but you still wantit to go well so you dont want to move very much

Todd Right So what percentage of people would you say freak outwhen they get the needle

Todd Right Yeah Nobody likes that

Meg No

Todd So you transitioned You were in the medical profession andthen you moved to education Why did you leave the medicalprofession for education

Meg Yeah Thats interesting because I became a medic in themilitary because I thought after I ndash when I could continue collegethat I would be a nurse or a doctor But my time serving as a medichelped me learn that that was not what I wanted to do for my career

after all

So I definitely am glad that I had those skills and the things that Ilearned and was able to experience But I had ndash English had kind of been on the back burner And so then I said Okay let me revisitthis and it led to English education

Todd Wow Have you ever thought about being like an Englishspecialist for people in the medical fields like teaching doctors andnurses

Meg I guess I havent thought about that specifically Sometimes Ithought about going back to military They do have something likeEnglish schools in the military And so I guess that would berelated Also it could be ndash yeah so that would be interestingSomething to think about

1356 Baby on BoardJeremy talks about the difficulty of taking care of a baby whiletaking a long flight

Abidemi So Jeremy you mentionedearlier that yoursquove been back to Canadawith your baby How was that experience

Jeremy Well I mean until you fly with atoddler you really never get to appreciateall of those times that you flew across theocean you know watching movies or reading magazines or just sleeping on theflight because those days are over

Abidemi Wow

Jeremy I mean itrsquos not that bad but when yoursquore on the planeyou say ldquoNever againrdquo I remember about halfway into a 10-hour trans-Pacific flight I thought ldquoWell I can maybe do thisevery three years but not more than once a year for surerdquo

I mean first of all our boy was bigger than most children for hisage So he was about one year old And you know they havethese bassinets that yoursquore allowed to put your child in andyou know the baby will hopefully sleep for a while So thestewardess sets up the bassinet wersquore all ready to put him inthere and then she says ldquoHow old is herdquo And he was 12 kilosand this was for 115 maximum

Abidemi Oh no

Jeremy And they wouldnrsquot let us put him in there so they hadto take the whole thing apart and basically we had to findsome way to have him sleep on our laps for the next nine hours

Abidemi Oh wow

Jeremy I mean you know one-year old like to crawl aroundThey like to scream they like to cry Other people on the flightdonrsquot like that so much So you know itrsquos basically every minuteof silence you just savor and just pray that this will keep goingand it never does

But you know once he falls asleep and the plane is quiet andthey turn off the lights then you know itrsquos okay But itrsquos too longItrsquos too long for a one-year old So I can maybe manage it oncea year but thatrsquos about it

Abidemi I remember my sister she has two kids and she toldme a story a few years back when one of her daughters wasstill a toddler and they went to Disneyland from Canada Andshe said it was just horrible and they would never do it again

And I just smiled I didnrsquot have that experience I was justthinking ldquoWhat could be so bad about itrdquo But hearing your story now wow I can only imagine

Jeremy Well I think that ndash actually most people mostpassengers on the flight are usually quite understanding And I

take (the whole thing) apart

understanding

1 Babies love to around

2 I need to my bike

3 You lack of confidence is all

4 Before I was thin but those days are

5 You should never someone until youknow them

6 Try to be of my situation

think itrsquos just you know in the parentsrsquo head that everybody is judging them everybody is looking at them Because youknow I get so worried about what other people are thinking thatinconveniencing others that I just work myself up so much andmy wife is the same way

But you know talking ndash actually we did have people say to uslike ldquoDonrsquot worry about itrdquo They will just go out of their way tosay ldquoOh what a cute babyrdquo and stuff like that So I think peoplewere kind of aware of how stressful it is for parents

And they just ndash some people actually make an effort to makeparents feel like everybody is not silently judging them or maybenot even silently

Abidemi Okay Not saying anything If you had an advice oneadvice to give to a parent that would travel with that child in thefuture what would you tell them

Jeremy My best advice is if you can fly in the morning So after baby wakes up and you have your breakfast and your flight ismaybe at I donrsquot know 900 or 1000 in the morning I think thatworks out if itrsquos a say a 10-hour flight because yoursquoll land itrsquoll beprobably around bedtime like his normal bedtime

The first time we did it the flight was in the late evening Sobasically hersquod been up all day And then there was another 10hours on top of that So you know when we landed thereadjustment to his normal schedule was really really difficultBut when we flew in the morning and it was a 10-hour flight

when we landed he just basically went to sleep like a normalschedule

So thatrsquos a small thing but it really makes a big difference

Abidemi Thank you

Todd So Meg I thought we would talk alittle bit about the military Now you wereactually in the military

Meg Yes I was actually in the ArmyNational Guard So I enlisted when I was17 In America in the National Guardeach state can have kind of different rulesor different requirements And so inIndiana you can enlist when you are 17 with parentalpermission So I did that

Todd Wow Seventeen is really young age

Meg Yeah And it sort of happened really quick I mean I was a junior in high school and I got a call from a recruiter And at firstI was really against it but then in Indiana if you enlist and youserve your time theyll pay your college tuition if you go to astate college

So Indiana has Purdue and I was interested in going to Purdueanyway so it seemed like a good idea

Todd Thats fantastic So how long were you in the service

Meg I was in for six years all together That was the minimumcommitment So I could have done more but I was ready tomaybe try some other things after that time

Todd Did it go by fast

Meg Looking back it definitely did I think there are differentstages that went by slow or fast Like when I was in actual basic

training when youre in it it was super slow Like yourecounting on the hours every day because youre just desperateto finish and get out and get back to your family And I was youknow 17 so its a little different

But now looking back like I cant believe it was a full six yearsand now its so many years past that already So yeah I guessit did go by fast overall

Todd Yeah thats great So what was it like being a woman inthe military

Meg It was ndash well I served in a unit ndash I was a medic And somy unit a medical unit naturally has more women The ratio iscloser to 50-50 men and women which isnt ndash at least that timewasnt ndash I dont have the current statistics but it isnt that kind of

ratio for the Army as a whole or the military as a whole

And so for me there was ndash I was with a lot of other women alsowhen I was serving But for me personally there were definitelychallenges especially when I was first in basic training like Idefinitely felt personal pressure to try to keep up with the guysWith everything whether its you know physically being able to

Todd So Meg you are talking about being inthe military and you said you were a medicCan you explain what that is

Meg Yeah So a medic which now I believeis called health care specialist is ndash I alwayssay its kind of similar to being like aparamedic where its not a full nurse job Ithink nurses have more training like in civilianside nurses but similar to paramedic where you have certain likeminor procedures that youre trained to do and high-level thingsthan just an EMT like doing IVs and giving shots and stitches andthings like that

And youre trained ndash because its the mili tary youre especiallytrained for emergency situations and how to treat someone whohas maybe some serious life-threatening wounds So thats a medic

Todd Wow That sounds like a really difficult job I mean its notyour typical just soldier job You must have had a lot of schoolingand education

Meg I had ndash well everyone goes through the initial about two anda half months like basic training And thats more kind of basiccombat skills and physical training that kind of thing And then I hadfour months past that to train to be a medic So we went through likeemergency medical technician course just like civilian side I gotcertified with that And then we had additional training for the militaryskills like IVs and emergency procedures that kind of thing

Todd Right Can you explain what IV is

Meg IV is an intravenous ndash like getting fluids into your body So if youve been injured and youve lost a lot of blood or maybe youredehydrated and you need some fluid in your body quickly then we

stick a needle into your vein and then the fluids go in And theneedle comes back out but a little tube stays in And then you canget fluids quickly that way

Todd So anybody thats been to the doctor knows thats alwayskind of the anxious moment when the nurse or the person whosgoing to stick the needle in Were you good at doing that

Meg So once I learned how to do it I think I was pretty good And Iactually enjoyed doing it not in a creepy way but you know it was ndashI guess because I was decent at it that it was a part of my job that Ienjoyed

But for myself before we went through that training I actuallybecame dehydrated and needed to get an IV myself And I wasterrified because I really hadnt had that before in my life And sothe nurse was going to come you know put the needle in my arm

and I was like No isnt there another Ill just drink a lot of water And she was saying Arent you going to be a medic And I waslike Oh I havent trained yet Dont do it So yeah

Todd Oh thats cool Yeah I was recently in the hospital and theyhad me strapped up for both blood and for the water theintravenous drip And its annoying because you cant really move

Meg Yeah yeah Or at least you have to careful When I wasgetting the IV I didnt know that the needle doesnt stay in your armNow for some things it does For blood maybe its different Im notsure But yeah so I was trying to be so careful too but you still wantit to go well so you dont want to move very much

Todd Right So what percentage of people would you say freak outwhen they get the needle

Meg Probably 90 or 95

Todd Oh really

Meg Yeah Even you know tough Army guys would come in andbe ndash and theyd be like Oh Im fine Im fine in a bit Well weneed to give you an IV And theyd be like Oh

Todd Right Yeah Nobody likes that

Meg No

Todd So you transitioned You were in the medical profession andthen you moved to education Why did you leave the medicalprofession for education

Meg Yeah Thats interesting because I became a medic in themilitary because I thought after I ndash when I could continue collegethat I would be a nurse or a doctor But my time serving as a medichelped me learn that that was not what I wanted to do for my career

after all

So I definitely am glad that I had those skills and the things that Ilearned and was able to experience But I had ndash English had kind of been on the back burner And so then I said Okay let me revisitthis and it led to English education

Todd Wow Have you ever thought about being like an Englishspecialist for people in the medical fields like teaching doctors andnurses

Abidemi So Jeremy you mentionedearlier that yoursquove been back to Canadawith your baby How was that experience

Jeremy Well I mean until you fly with atoddler you really never get to appreciateall of those times that you flew across theocean you know watching movies or reading magazines or just sleeping on theflight because those days are over

Abidemi Wow

Jeremy I mean itrsquos not that bad but when yoursquore on the planeyou say ldquoNever againrdquo I remember about halfway into a 10-hour trans-Pacific flight I thought ldquoWell I can maybe do thisevery three years but not more than once a year for surerdquo

I mean first of all our boy was bigger than most children for hisage So he was about one year old And you know they havethese bassinets that yoursquore allowed to put your child in andyou know the baby will hopefully sleep for a while So thestewardess sets up the bassinet wersquore all ready to put him inthere and then she says ldquoHow old is herdquo And he was 12 kilosand this was for 115 maximum

Abidemi Oh no

Jeremy And they wouldnrsquot let us put him in there so they hadto take the whole thing apart and basically we had to findsome way to have him sleep on our laps for the next nine hours

Abidemi Oh wow

Jeremy I mean you know one-year old like to crawl aroundThey like to scream they like to cry Other people on the flightdonrsquot like that so much So you know itrsquos basically every minuteof silence you just savor and just pray that this will keep goingand it never does

But you know once he falls asleep and the plane is quiet andthey turn off the lights then you know itrsquos okay But itrsquos too longItrsquos too long for a one-year old So I can maybe manage it oncea year but thatrsquos about it

Abidemi I remember my sister she has two kids and she toldme a story a few years back when one of her daughters wasstill a toddler and they went to Disneyland from Canada Andshe said it was just horrible and they would never do it again

And I just smiled I didnrsquot have that experience I was justthinking ldquoWhat could be so bad about itrdquo But hearing your story now wow I can only imagine

Jeremy Well I think that ndash actually most people mostpassengers on the flight are usually quite understanding And I

take (the whole thing) apart

understanding

in their head

1 Babies love to around

2 I need to my bike

3 You lack of confidence is all

4 Before I was thin but those days are

5 You should never someone until youknow them

6 Try to be of my situation

think itrsquos just you know in the parentsrsquo head that everybody is judging them everybody is looking at them Because youknow I get so worried about what other people are thinking thatinconveniencing others that I just work myself up so much andmy wife is the same way

But you know talking ndash actually we did have people say to uslike ldquoDonrsquot worry about itrdquo They will just go out of their way tosay ldquoOh what a cute babyrdquo and stuff like that So I think peoplewere kind of aware of how stressful it is for parents

And they just ndash some people actually make an effort to makeparents feel like everybody is not silently judging them or maybenot even silently

Abidemi Okay Not saying anything If you had an advice oneadvice to give to a parent that would travel with that child in thefuture what would you tell them

Jeremy My best advice is if you can fly in the morning So after baby wakes up and you have your breakfast and your flight ismaybe at I donrsquot know 900 or 1000 in the morning I think thatworks out if itrsquos a say a 10-hour flight because yoursquoll land itrsquoll beprobably around bedtime like his normal bedtime

The first time we did it the flight was in the late evening Sobasically hersquod been up all day And then there was another 10hours on top of that So you know when we landed thereadjustment to his normal schedule was really really difficultBut when we flew in the morning and it was a 10-hour flight

when we landed he just basically went to sleep like a normalschedule

So thatrsquos a small thing but it really makes a big difference

Abidemi Thank you

Todd So Meg I thought we would talk alittle bit about the military Now you wereactually in the military

Meg Yes I was actually in the ArmyNational Guard So I enlisted when I was17 In America in the National Guardeach state can have kind of different rulesor different requirements And so inIndiana you can enlist when you are 17 with parentalpermission So I did that

Todd Wow Seventeen is really young age

Meg Yeah And it sort of happened really quick I mean I was a junior in high school and I got a call from a recruiter And at firstI was really against it but then in Indiana if you enlist and youserve your time theyll pay your college tuition if you go to astate college

So Indiana has Purdue and I was interested in going to Purdueanyway so it seemed like a good idea

Todd Thats fantastic So how long were you in the service

Meg I was in for six years all together That was the minimumcommitment So I could have done more but I was ready tomaybe try some other things after that time

Todd Did it go by fast

Meg Looking back it definitely did I think there are differentstages that went by slow or fast Like when I was in actual basic

training when youre in it it was super slow Like yourecounting on the hours every day because youre just desperateto finish and get out and get back to your family And I was youknow 17 so its a little different

But now looking back like I cant believe it was a full six yearsand now its so many years past that already So yeah I guessit did go by fast overall

Todd Yeah thats great So what was it like being a woman inthe military

Meg It was ndash well I served in a unit ndash I was a medic And somy unit a medical unit naturally has more women The ratio iscloser to 50-50 men and women which isnt ndash at least that timewasnt ndash I dont have the current statistics but it isnt that kind of

ratio for the Army as a whole or the military as a whole

And so for me there was ndash I was with a lot of other women alsowhen I was serving But for me personally there were definitelychallenges especially when I was first in basic training like Idefinitely felt personal pressure to try to keep up with the guysWith everything whether its you know physically being able to

lift and carry these heavy boxes and whatever You know youhave the same requirements that you have to do And younever want to be the weak link

And I think some other women maybe suffered a little morebecause they couldnt keep up quite as well And so that can bea little difficult But maybe Im naturally a bit more suited for those kinds of things So I did okay but I definitely wanted toand tried hard to keep up with the physical aspect which isnt aseasy sometimes for women

Todd Well thats interesting So you do look pretty fit so youmust have been really fit back in the day

Meg Yeah I think Yeah especially basic training becauseyoure never like not running Anytime youre walkingsomewhere youre just running running running like theymake you run everywhere And you get like 5 minutes to eatbreakfast and lunch and dinner Every time you have to eat itso fast And then youre doing all this physical training and thengoing through obstacle courses and carrying heavy packsand carrying your weapon round

Yeah So that was probably the most fit Ive ever been Imdefinitely not that now

Todd Right So if you had a daughter would you recommendthat she goes in the military or would you recommend other women to join the military

Meg I would not recommend it I guess I dont go aroundtelling everyone Oh you should just join the military But Ithink if someone ndash if there is a woman who is interested in it or thinking about it I would definitely ndash for me I mean it workedout great There are a lot of like leadership and personalcharacter qualities that I was really able to develop during mytime that have continued to benefit me now

And so for a woman who is interested I would definitely sayGo for it

Todd So Meg you are talking about being inthe military and you said you were a medicCan you explain what that is

Meg Yeah So a medic which now I believeis called health care specialist is ndash I alwayssay its kind of similar to being like aparamedic where its not a full nurse job Ithink nurses have more training like in civilianside nurses but similar to paramedic where you have certain likeminor procedures that youre trained to do and high-level thingsthan just an EMT like doing IVs and giving shots and stitches andthings like that

And youre trained ndash because its the mili tary youre especiallytrained for emergency situations and how to treat someone whohas maybe some serious life-threatening wounds So thats a medic

Todd Wow That sounds like a really difficult job I mean its notyour typical just soldier job You must have had a lot of schoolingand education

Meg I had ndash well everyone goes through the initial about two anda half months like basic training And thats more kind of basiccombat skills and physical training that kind of thing And then I hadfour months past that to train to be a medic So we went through likeemergency medical technician course just like civilian side I gotcertified with that And then we had additional training for the militaryskills like IVs and emergency procedures that kind of thing

Todd Right Can you explain what IV is

Meg IV is an intravenous ndash like getting fluids into your body So if youve been injured and youve lost a lot of blood or maybe youredehydrated and you need some fluid in your body quickly then we

stick a needle into your vein and then the fluids go in And theneedle comes back out but a little tube stays in And then you canget fluids quickly that way

Todd So anybody thats been to the doctor knows thats alwayskind of the anxious moment when the nurse or the person whosgoing to stick the needle in Were you good at doing that

Meg So once I learned how to do it I think I was pretty good And Iactually enjoyed doing it not in a creepy way but you know it was ndashI guess because I was decent at it that it was a part of my job that Ienjoyed

But for myself before we went through that training I actuallybecame dehydrated and needed to get an IV myself And I wasterrified because I really hadnt had that before in my life And sothe nurse was going to come you know put the needle in my arm

and I was like No isnt there another Ill just drink a lot of water And she was saying Arent you going to be a medic And I waslike Oh I havent trained yet Dont do it So yeah

Todd Oh thats cool Yeah I was recently in the hospital and theyhad me strapped up for both blood and for the water theintravenous drip And its annoying because you cant really move

Meg No

Todd So you transitioned You were in the medical profession andthen you moved to education Why did you leave the medicalprofession for education

Meg Yeah Thats interesting because I became a medic in themilitary because I thought after I ndash when I could continue collegethat I would be a nurse or a doctor But my time serving as a medichelped me learn that that was not what I wanted to do for my career

after all

So I definitely am glad that I had those skills and the things that Ilearned and was able to experience But I had ndash English had kind of been on the back burner And so then I said Okay let me revisitthis and it led to English education

Todd Wow Have you ever thought about being like an Englishspecialist for people in the medical fields like teaching doctors andnurses

Abidemi So Jeremy you mentionedearlier that yoursquove been back to Canadawith your baby How was that experience

Jeremy Well I mean until you fly with atoddler you really never get to appreciateall of those times that you flew across theocean you know watching movies or reading magazines or just sleeping on theflight because those days are over

Abidemi Wow

Jeremy I mean itrsquos not that bad but when yoursquore on the planeyou say ldquoNever againrdquo I remember about halfway into a 10-hour trans-Pacific flight I thought ldquoWell I can maybe do thisevery three years but not more than once a year for surerdquo

I mean first of all our boy was bigger than most children for hisage So he was about one year old And you know they havethese bassinets that yoursquore allowed to put your child in andyou know the baby will hopefully sleep for a while So thestewardess sets up the bassinet wersquore all ready to put him inthere and then she says ldquoHow old is herdquo And he was 12 kilosand this was for 115 maximum

Abidemi Oh no

Jeremy And they wouldnrsquot let us put him in there so they hadto take the whole thing apart and basically we had to findsome way to have him sleep on our laps for the next nine hours

Abidemi Oh wow

Jeremy I mean you know one-year old like to crawl aroundThey like to scream they like to cry Other people on the flightdonrsquot like that so much So you know itrsquos basically every minuteof silence you just savor and just pray that this will keep goingand it never does

But you know once he falls asleep and the plane is quiet andthey turn off the lights then you know itrsquos okay But itrsquos too longItrsquos too long for a one-year old So I can maybe manage it oncea year but thatrsquos about it

Abidemi I remember my sister she has two kids and she toldme a story a few years back when one of her daughters wasstill a toddler and they went to Disneyland from Canada Andshe said it was just horrible and they would never do it again

And I just smiled I didnrsquot have that experience I was justthinking ldquoWhat could be so bad about itrdquo But hearing your story now wow I can only imagine

Jeremy Well I think that ndash actually most people mostpassengers on the flight are usually quite understanding And I

take (the whole thing) apart

understanding

Most passengers on the flight areusually quite understanding

1 He was quite understanding of our situation

2 Doctors need to be very understanding of patients fears

in their head

1 Babies love to around

2 I need to my bike

3 You lack of confidence is all

4 Before I was thin but those days are

5 You should never someone until youknow them

6 Try to be of my situation

think itrsquos just you know in the parentsrsquo head that everybody is judging them everybody is looking at them Because youknow I get so worried about what other people are thinking thatinconveniencing others that I just work myself up so much andmy wife is the same way

But you know talking ndash actually we did have people say to uslike ldquoDonrsquot worry about itrdquo They will just go out of their way tosay ldquoOh what a cute babyrdquo and stuff like that So I think peoplewere kind of aware of how stressful it is for parents

And they just ndash some people actually make an effort to makeparents feel like everybody is not silently judging them or maybenot even silently

Abidemi Okay Not saying anything If you had an advice oneadvice to give to a parent that would travel with that child in thefuture what would you tell them

Jeremy My best advice is if you can fly in the morning So after baby wakes up and you have your breakfast and your flight ismaybe at I donrsquot know 900 or 1000 in the morning I think thatworks out if itrsquos a say a 10-hour flight because yoursquoll land itrsquoll beprobably around bedtime like his normal bedtime

The first time we did it the flight was in the late evening Sobasically hersquod been up all day And then there was another 10hours on top of that So you know when we landed thereadjustment to his normal schedule was really really difficultBut when we flew in the morning and it was a 10-hour flight

when we landed he just basically went to sleep like a normalschedule

So thatrsquos a small thing but it really makes a big difference

Abidemi Thank you

Todd So Meg I thought we would talk alittle bit about the military Now you wereactually in the military

Meg Yes I was actually in the ArmyNational Guard So I enlisted when I was17 In America in the National Guardeach state can have kind of different rulesor different requirements And so inIndiana you can enlist when you are 17 with parentalpermission So I did that

Todd Wow Seventeen is really young age

Meg Yeah And it sort of happened really quick I mean I was a junior in high school and I got a call from a recruiter And at firstI was really against it but then in Indiana if you enlist and youserve your time theyll pay your college tuition if you go to astate college

So Indiana has Purdue and I was interested in going to Purdueanyway so it seemed like a good idea

Todd Thats fantastic So how long were you in the service

Meg I was in for six years all together That was the minimumcommitment So I could have done more but I was ready tomaybe try some other things after that time

Todd Did it go by fast

Meg Looking back it definitely did I think there are differentstages that went by slow or fast Like when I was in actual basic

training when youre in it it was super slow Like yourecounting on the hours every day because youre just desperateto finish and get out and get back to your family And I was youknow 17 so its a little different

But now looking back like I cant believe it was a full six yearsand now its so many years past that already So yeah I guessit did go by fast overall

Todd Yeah thats great So what was it like being a woman inthe military

Meg It was ndash well I served in a unit ndash I was a medic And somy unit a medical unit naturally has more women The ratio iscloser to 50-50 men and women which isnt ndash at least that timewasnt ndash I dont have the current statistics but it isnt that kind of

ratio for the Army as a whole or the military as a whole

And so for me there was ndash I was with a lot of other women alsowhen I was serving But for me personally there were definitelychallenges especially when I was first in basic training like Idefinitely felt personal pressure to try to keep up with the guysWith everything whether its you know physically being able to

lift and carry these heavy boxes and whatever You know youhave the same requirements that you have to do And younever want to be the weak link

And I think some other women maybe suffered a little morebecause they couldnt keep up quite as well And so that can bea little difficult But maybe Im naturally a bit more suited for those kinds of things So I did okay but I definitely wanted toand tried hard to keep up with the physical aspect which isnt aseasy sometimes for women

Todd Well thats interesting So you do look pretty fit so youmust have been really fit back in the day

Meg Yeah I think Yeah especially basic training becauseyoure never like not running Anytime youre walkingsomewhere youre just running running running like theymake you run everywhere And you get like 5 minutes to eatbreakfast and lunch and dinner Every time you have to eat itso fast And then youre doing all this physical training and thengoing through obstacle courses and carrying heavy packsand carrying your weapon round

Yeah So that was probably the most fit Ive ever been Imdefinitely not that now

Todd Right So if you had a daughter would you recommendthat she goes in the military or would you recommend other women to join the military

Meg I would not recommend it I guess I dont go aroundtelling everyone Oh you should just join the military But Ithink if someone ndash if there is a woman who is interested in it or thinking about it I would definitely ndash for me I mean it workedout great There are a lot of like leadership and personalcharacter qualities that I was really able to develop during mytime that have continued to benefit me now

And so for a woman who is interested I would definitely sayGo for it

Meg Yeah So a medic which now I believeis called health care specialist is ndash I alwayssay its kind of similar to being like aparamedic where its not a full nurse job Ithink nurses have more training like in civilianside nurses but similar to paramedic where you have certain likeminor procedures that youre trained to do and high-level thingsthan just an EMT like doing IVs and giving shots and stitches andthings like that

And youre trained ndash because its the mili tary youre especiallytrained for emergency situations and how to treat someone whohas maybe some serious life-threatening wounds So thats a medic

Todd Wow That sounds like a really difficult job I mean its notyour typical just soldier job You must have had a lot of schoolingand education

Meg I had ndash well everyone goes through the initial about two anda half months like basic training And thats more kind of basiccombat skills and physical training that kind of thing And then I hadfour months past that to train to be a medic So we went through likeemergency medical technician course just like civilian side I gotcertified with that And then we had additional training for the militaryskills like IVs and emergency procedures that kind of thing

Todd Right Can you explain what IV is

Meg IV is an intravenous ndash like getting fluids into your body So if youve been injured and youve lost a lot of blood or maybe youredehydrated and you need some fluid in your body quickly then we

stick a needle into your vein and then the fluids go in And theneedle comes back out but a little tube stays in And then you canget fluids quickly that way

Todd So anybody thats been to the doctor knows thats alwayskind of the anxious moment when the nurse or the person whosgoing to stick the needle in Were you good at doing that

Meg So once I learned how to do it I think I was pretty good And Iactually enjoyed doing it not in a creepy way but you know it was ndashI guess because I was decent at it that it was a part of my job that Ienjoyed

But for myself before we went through that training I actuallybecame dehydrated and needed to get an IV myself And I wasterrified because I really hadnt had that before in my life And sothe nurse was going to come you know put the needle in my arm

and I was like No isnt there another Ill just drink a lot of water And she was saying Arent you going to be a medic And I waslike Oh I havent trained yet Dont do it So yeah

Todd Oh thats cool Yeah I was recently in the hospital and theyhad me strapped up for both blood and for the water theintravenous drip And its annoying because you cant really move

6 My arm is up to the machine

like if you want to get up and walk anywhere youre strapped withall these tubes And its not very convenient

Meg Yeah yeah Or at least you have to careful When I wasgetting the IV I didnt know that the needle doesnt stay in your armNow for some things it does For blood maybe its different Im notsure But yeah so I was trying to be so careful too but you still wantit to go well so you dont want to move very much

Todd Right So what percentage of people would you say freak outwhen they get the needle

Meg Probably 90 or 95

Todd Oh really

Meg Yeah Even you know tough Army guys would come in andbe ndash and theyd be like Oh Im fine Im fine in a bit Well weneed to give you an IV And theyd be like Oh

Todd Right Yeah Nobody likes that

Meg No

Todd So you transitioned You were in the medical profession andthen you moved to education Why did you leave the medicalprofession for education

Meg Yeah Thats interesting because I became a medic in themilitary because I thought after I ndash when I could continue collegethat I would be a nurse or a doctor But my time serving as a medichelped me learn that that was not what I wanted to do for my career

after all

So I definitely am glad that I had those skills and the things that Ilearned and was able to experience But I had ndash English had kind of been on the back burner And so then I said Okay let me revisitthis and it led to English education

Todd Wow Have you ever thought about being like an Englishspecialist for people in the medical fields like teaching doctors andnurses

Meg I guess I havent thought about that specifically Sometimes Ithought about going back to military They do have something likeEnglish schools in the military And so I guess that would berelated Also it could be ndash yeah so that would be interestingSomething to think about

1356 Baby on BoardJeremy talks about the difficulty of taking care of a baby whiletaking a long flight

Abidemi So Jeremy you mentionedearlier that yoursquove been back to Canadawith your baby How was that experience

Jeremy Well I mean until you fly with atoddler you really never get to appreciateall of those times that you flew across theocean you know watching movies or reading magazines or just sleeping on theflight because those days are over

Abidemi Wow

Jeremy I mean itrsquos not that bad but when yoursquore on the planeyou say ldquoNever againrdquo I remember about halfway into a 10-hour trans-Pacific flight I thought ldquoWell I can maybe do thisevery three years but not more than once a year for surerdquo

I mean first of all our boy was bigger than most children for hisage So he was about one year old And you know they havethese bassinets that yoursquore allowed to put your child in andyou know the baby will hopefully sleep for a while So thestewardess sets up the bassinet wersquore all ready to put him inthere and then she says ldquoHow old is herdquo And he was 12 kilosand this was for 115 maximum

Abidemi Oh no

Jeremy And they wouldnrsquot let us put him in there so they hadto take the whole thing apart and basically we had to findsome way to have him sleep on our laps for the next nine hours

Abidemi Oh wow

Jeremy I mean you know one-year old like to crawl aroundThey like to scream they like to cry Other people on the flightdonrsquot like that so much So you know itrsquos basically every minuteof silence you just savor and just pray that this will keep goingand it never does

But you know once he falls asleep and the plane is quiet andthey turn off the lights then you know itrsquos okay But itrsquos too longItrsquos too long for a one-year old So I can maybe manage it oncea year but thatrsquos about it

Abidemi I remember my sister she has two kids and she toldme a story a few years back when one of her daughters wasstill a toddler and they went to Disneyland from Canada Andshe said it was just horrible and they would never do it again

And I just smiled I didnrsquot have that experience I was justthinking ldquoWhat could be so bad about itrdquo But hearing your story now wow I can only imagine

Jeremy Well I think that ndash actually most people mostpassengers on the flight are usually quite understanding And I

understanding

Most passengers on the flight areusually quite understanding

Here understanding means patientand sympathetic Notice the following

1 He was quite understanding of our situation

2 Doctors need to be very understanding of patients fears

in their head

Itrsquos just in the parentsrsquo head

When a thought is in your head thatmeans you worry about it and perhaps

more than necessary

1 My poor grades are still in myhead

2 Dont worry Its all just in your head

1 Babies love to around

2 I need to my bike

3 You lack of confidence is all

4 Before I was thin but those days are

5 You should never someone until youknow them

6 Try to be of my situation

think itrsquos just you know in the parentsrsquo head that everybody is judging them everybody is looking at them Because youknow I get so worried about what other people are thinking thatinconveniencing others that I just work myself up so much andmy wife is the same way

But you know talking ndash actually we did have people say to uslike ldquoDonrsquot worry about itrdquo They will just go out of their way tosay ldquoOh what a cute babyrdquo and stuff like that So I think peoplewere kind of aware of how stressful it is for parents

And they just ndash some people actually make an effort to makeparents feel like everybody is not silently judging them or maybenot even silently

Abidemi Okay Not saying anything If you had an advice oneadvice to give to a parent that would travel with that child in thefuture what would you tell them

Jeremy My best advice is if you can fly in the morning So after baby wakes up and you have your breakfast and your flight ismaybe at I donrsquot know 900 or 1000 in the morning I think thatworks out if itrsquos a say a 10-hour flight because yoursquoll land itrsquoll beprobably around bedtime like his normal bedtime

The first time we did it the flight was in the late evening Sobasically hersquod been up all day And then there was another 10hours on top of that So you know when we landed thereadjustment to his normal schedule was really really difficultBut when we flew in the morning and it was a 10-hour flight

when we landed he just basically went to sleep like a normalschedule

So thatrsquos a small thing but it really makes a big difference

Abidemi Thank you

Meg Yes I was actually in the ArmyNational Guard So I enlisted when I was17 In America in the National Guardeach state can have kind of different rulesor different requirements And so inIndiana you can enlist when you are 17 with parentalpermission So I did that

Todd Wow Seventeen is really young age

Meg Yeah And it sort of happened really quick I mean I was a junior in high school and I got a call from a recruiter And at firstI was really against it but then in Indiana if you enlist and youserve your time theyll pay your college tuition if you go to astate college

So Indiana has Purdue and I was interested in going to Purdueanyway so it seemed like a good idea

Todd Thats fantastic So how long were you in the service

Meg I was in for six years all together That was the minimumcommitment So I could have done more but I was ready tomaybe try some other things after that time

Todd Did it go by fast

Meg Looking back it definitely did I think there are differentstages that went by slow or fast Like when I was in actual basic

training when youre in it it was super slow Like yourecounting on the hours every day because youre just desperateto finish and get out and get back to your family And I was youknow 17 so its a little different

But now looking back like I cant believe it was a full six yearsand now its so many years past that already So yeah I guessit did go by fast overall

Todd Yeah thats great So what was it like being a woman inthe military

Meg It was ndash well I served in a unit ndash I was a medic And somy unit a medical unit naturally has more women The ratio iscloser to 50-50 men and women which isnt ndash at least that timewasnt ndash I dont have the current statistics but it isnt that kind of

ratio for the Army as a whole or the military as a whole

And so for me there was ndash I was with a lot of other women alsowhen I was serving But for me personally there were definitelychallenges especially when I was first in basic training like Idefinitely felt personal pressure to try to keep up with the guysWith everything whether its you know physically being able to

lift and carry these heavy boxes and whatever You know youhave the same requirements that you have to do And younever want to be the weak link

And I think some other women maybe suffered a little morebecause they couldnt keep up quite as well And so that can bea little difficult But maybe Im naturally a bit more suited for those kinds of things So I did okay but I definitely wanted toand tried hard to keep up with the physical aspect which isnt aseasy sometimes for women

Todd Well thats interesting So you do look pretty fit so youmust have been really fit back in the day

Meg Yeah I think Yeah especially basic training becauseyoure never like not running Anytime youre walkingsomewhere youre just running running running like theymake you run everywhere And you get like 5 minutes to eatbreakfast and lunch and dinner Every time you have to eat itso fast And then youre doing all this physical training and thengoing through obstacle courses and carrying heavy packsand carrying your weapon round

Yeah So that was probably the most fit Ive ever been Imdefinitely not that now

Todd Right So if you had a daughter would you recommendthat she goes in the military or would you recommend other women to join the military

Meg I would not recommend it I guess I dont go aroundtelling everyone Oh you should just join the military But Ithink if someone ndash if there is a woman who is interested in it or thinking about it I would definitely ndash for me I mean it workedout great There are a lot of like leadership and personalcharacter qualities that I was really able to develop during mytime that have continued to benefit me now

And so for a woman who is interested I would definitely sayGo for it

Meg Yeah So a medic which now I believeis called health care specialist is ndash I alwayssay its kind of similar to being like aparamedic where its not a full nurse job Ithink nurses have more training like in civilianside nurses but similar to paramedic where you have certain likeminor procedures that youre trained to do and high-level thingsthan just an EMT like doing IVs and giving shots and stitches andthings like that

And youre trained ndash because its the mili tary youre especiallytrained for emergency situations and how to treat someone whohas maybe some serious life-threatening wounds So thats a medic

Meg I had ndash well everyone goes through the initial about two anda half months like basic training And thats more kind of basiccombat skills and physical training that kind of thing And then I hadfour months past that to train to be a medic So we went through likeemergency medical technician course just like civilian side I gotcertified with that And then we had additional training for the militaryskills like IVs and emergency procedures that kind of thing

Todd Right Can you explain what IV is

Meg IV is an intravenous ndash like getting fluids into your body So if youve been injured and youve lost a lot of blood or maybe youredehydrated and you need some fluid in your body quickly then we

stick a needle into your vein and then the fluids go in And theneedle comes back out but a little tube stays in And then you canget fluids quickly that way

Todd So anybody thats been to the doctor knows thats alwayskind of the anxious moment when the nurse or the person whosgoing to stick the needle in Were you good at doing that

Meg So once I learned how to do it I think I was pretty good And Iactually enjoyed doing it not in a creepy way but you know it was ndashI guess because I was decent at it that it was a part of my job that Ienjoyed

But for myself before we went through that training I actuallybecame dehydrated and needed to get an IV myself And I wasterrified because I really hadnt had that before in my life And sothe nurse was going to come you know put the needle in my arm

and I was like No isnt there another Ill just drink a lot of water And she was saying Arent you going to be a medic And I waslike Oh I havent trained yet Dont do it So yeah

Meg No

Todd So you transitioned You were in the medical profession andthen you moved to education Why did you leave the medicalprofession for education

after all

So I definitely am glad that I had those skills and the things that Ilearned and was able to experience But I had ndash English had kind of been on the back burner And so then I said Okay let me revisitthis and it led to English education

Todd Wow Have you ever thought about being like an Englishspecialist for people in the medical fields like teaching doctors andnurses

Abidemi Okay Not saying anything If you had an advice oneadvice to give to a parent that would travel with that child in thefuture what would you tell them

Jeremy My best advice is if you can fly in the morning So after baby wakes up and you have your breakfast and your flight ismaybe at I donrsquot know 900 or 1000 in the morning I think thatworks out if itrsquos a say a 10-hour flight because yoursquoll land itrsquoll beprobably around bedtime like his normal bedtime

The first time we did it the flight was in the late evening Sobasically hersquod been up all day And then there was another 10hours on top of that So you know when we landed thereadjustment to his normal schedule was really really difficultBut when we flew in the morning and it was a 10-hour flight

when we landed he just basically went to sleep like a normalschedule

So thatrsquos a small thing but it really makes a big difference

Abidemi Thank you

Todd So Meg I thought we would talk alittle bit about the military Now you wereactually in the military

Meg Yes I was actually in the ArmyNational Guard So I enlisted when I was17 In America in the National Guardeach state can have kind of different rulesor different requirements And so inIndiana you can enlist when you are 17 with parentalpermission So I did that

Todd Wow Seventeen is really young age

Meg Yeah And it sort of happened really quick I mean I was a junior in high school and I got a call from a recruiter And at firstI was really against it but then in Indiana if you enlist and youserve your time theyll pay your college tuition if you go to astate college

So Indiana has Purdue and I was interested in going to Purdueanyway so it seemed like a good idea

Todd Thats fantastic So how long were you in the service

Meg I was in for six years all together That was the minimumcommitment So I could have done more but I was ready tomaybe try some other things after that time

Todd Did it go by fast

Meg Looking back it definitely did I think there are differentstages that went by slow or fast Like when I was in actual basic

training when youre in it it was super slow Like yourecounting on the hours every day because youre just desperateto finish and get out and get back to your family And I was youknow 17 so its a little different

But now looking back like I cant believe it was a full six yearsand now its so many years past that already So yeah I guessit did go by fast overall

Todd Yeah thats great So what was it like being a woman inthe military

Meg It was ndash well I served in a unit ndash I was a medic And somy unit a medical unit naturally has more women The ratio iscloser to 50-50 men and women which isnt ndash at least that timewasnt ndash I dont have the current statistics but it isnt that kind of

ratio for the Army as a whole or the military as a whole

And so for me there was ndash I was with a lot of other women alsowhen I was serving But for me personally there were definitelychallenges especially when I was first in basic training like Idefinitely felt personal pressure to try to keep up with the guysWith everything whether its you know physically being able to

6 I think you can do it You should

lift and carry these heavy boxes and whatever You know youhave the same requirements that you have to do And younever want to be the weak link

And I think some other women maybe suffered a little morebecause they couldnt keep up quite as well And so that can bea little difficult But maybe Im naturally a bit more suited for those kinds of things So I did okay but I definitely wanted toand tried hard to keep up with the physical aspect which isnt aseasy sometimes for women

Todd Well thats interesting So you do look pretty fit so youmust have been really fit back in the day

Meg Yeah I think Yeah especially basic training becauseyoure never like not running Anytime youre walkingsomewhere youre just running running running like theymake you run everywhere And you get like 5 minutes to eatbreakfast and lunch and dinner Every time you have to eat itso fast And then youre doing all this physical training and thengoing through obstacle courses and carrying heavy packsand carrying your weapon round

Yeah So that was probably the most fit Ive ever been Imdefinitely not that now

Todd Right So if you had a daughter would you recommendthat she goes in the military or would you recommend other women to join the military

Meg I would not recommend it I guess I dont go aroundtelling everyone Oh you should just join the military But Ithink if someone ndash if there is a woman who is interested in it or thinking about it I would definitely ndash for me I mean it workedout great There are a lot of like leadership and personalcharacter qualities that I was really able to develop during mytime that have continued to benefit me now

And so for a woman who is interested I would definitely sayGo for it

Todd So Meg you are talking about being inthe military and you said you were a medicCan you explain what that is

Meg Yeah So a medic which now I believeis called health care specialist is ndash I alwayssay its kind of similar to being like aparamedic where its not a full nurse job Ithink nurses have more training like in civilianside nurses but similar to paramedic where you have certain likeminor procedures that youre trained to do and high-level thingsthan just an EMT like doing IVs and giving shots and stitches andthings like that

And youre trained ndash because its the mili tary youre especiallytrained for emergency situations and how to treat someone whohas maybe some serious life-threatening wounds So thats a medic

Todd Wow That sounds like a really difficult job I mean its notyour typical just soldier job You must have had a lot of schoolingand education

Meg I had ndash well everyone goes through the initial about two anda half months like basic training And thats more kind of basiccombat skills and physical training that kind of thing And then I hadfour months past that to train to be a medic So we went through likeemergency medical technician course just like civilian side I gotcertified with that And then we had additional training for the militaryskills like IVs and emergency procedures that kind of thing

Todd Right Can you explain what IV is

Meg IV is an intravenous ndash like getting fluids into your body So if youve been injured and youve lost a lot of blood or maybe youredehydrated and you need some fluid in your body quickly then we

stick a needle into your vein and then the fluids go in And theneedle comes back out but a little tube stays in And then you canget fluids quickly that way

Todd So anybody thats been to the doctor knows thats alwayskind of the anxious moment when the nurse or the person whosgoing to stick the needle in Were you good at doing that

Meg So once I learned how to do it I think I was pretty good And Iactually enjoyed doing it not in a creepy way but you know it was ndashI guess because I was decent at it that it was a part of my job that Ienjoyed

But for myself before we went through that training I actuallybecame dehydrated and needed to get an IV myself And I wasterrified because I really hadnt had that before in my life And sothe nurse was going to come you know put the needle in my arm

and I was like No isnt there another Ill just drink a lot of water And she was saying Arent you going to be a medic And I waslike Oh I havent trained yet Dont do it So yeah

Todd Oh thats cool Yeah I was recently in the hospital and theyhad me strapped up for both blood and for the water theintravenous drip And its annoying because you cant really move

Meg Yeah yeah Or at least you have to careful When I wasgetting the IV I didnt know that the needle doesnt stay in your armNow for some things it does For blood maybe its different Im notsure But yeah so I was trying to be so careful too but you still wantit to go well so you dont want to move very much

Todd Right So what percentage of people would you say freak outwhen they get the needle

Todd Right Yeah Nobody likes that

Meg No

Todd So you transitioned You were in the medical profession andthen you moved to education Why did you leave the medicalprofession for education

Meg Yeah Thats interesting because I became a medic in themilitary because I thought after I ndash when I could continue collegethat I would be a nurse or a doctor But my time serving as a medichelped me learn that that was not what I wanted to do for my career

after all

So I definitely am glad that I had those skills and the things that Ilearned and was able to experience But I had ndash English had kind of been on the back burner And so then I said Okay let me revisitthis and it led to English education

Todd Wow Have you ever thought about being like an Englishspecialist for people in the medical fields like teaching doctors andnurses

Meg I guess I havent thought about that specifically Sometimes Ithought about going back to military They do have something likeEnglish schools in the military And so I guess that would berelated Also it could be ndash yeah so that would be interestingSomething to think about

1369 Women in UniformMeg talks about being a woman in the military and why shechose that path

Todd So Meg I thought we would talk alittle bit about the military Now you wereactually in the military

Meg Yes I was actually in the ArmyNational Guard So I enlisted when I was17 In America in the National Guardeach state can have kind of different rulesor different requirements And so inIndiana you can enlist when you are 17 with parentalpermission So I did that

Todd Wow Seventeen is really young age

Meg Yeah And it sort of happened really quick I mean I was a junior in high school and I got a call from a recruiter And at firstI was really against it but then in Indiana if you enlist and youserve your time theyll pay your college tuition if you go to astate college

So Indiana has Purdue and I was interested in going to Purdueanyway so it seemed like a good idea

Todd Thats fantastic So how long were you in the service

Meg I was in for six years all together That was the minimumcommitment So I could have done more but I was ready tomaybe try some other things after that time

Todd Did it go by fast

Meg Looking back it definitely did I think there are differentstages that went by slow or fast Like when I was in actual basic

training when youre in it it was super slow Like yourecounting on the hours every day because youre just desperateto finish and get out and get back to your family And I was youknow 17 so its a little different

But now looking back like I cant believe it was a full six yearsand now its so many years past that already So yeah I guessit did go by fast overall

Todd Yeah thats great So what was it like being a woman inthe military

Meg It was ndash well I served in a unit ndash I was a medic And somy unit a medical unit naturally has more women The ratio iscloser to 50-50 men and women which isnt ndash at least that timewasnt ndash I dont have the current statistics but it isnt that kind of

ratio for the Army as a whole or the military as a whole

And so for me there was ndash I was with a lot of other women alsowhen I was serving But for me personally there were definitelychallenges especially when I was first in basic training like Idefinitely felt personal pressure to try to keep up with the guysWith everything whether its you know physically being able to

6 I think you can do it You should

lift and carry these heavy boxes and whatever You know youhave the same requirements that you have to do And younever want to be the weak link

And I think some other women maybe suffered a little morebecause they couldnt keep up quite as well And so that can bea little difficult But maybe Im naturally a bit more suited for those kinds of things So I did okay but I definitely wanted toand tried hard to keep up with the physical aspect which isnt aseasy sometimes for women

Todd Well thats interesting So you do look pretty fit so youmust have been really fit back in the day

Meg Yeah I think Yeah especially basic training becauseyoure never like not running Anytime youre walkingsomewhere youre just running running running like theymake you run everywhere And you get like 5 minutes to eatbreakfast and lunch and dinner Every time you have to eat itso fast And then youre doing all this physical training and thengoing through obstacle courses and carrying heavy packsand carrying your weapon round

Yeah So that was probably the most fit Ive ever been Imdefinitely not that now

Todd Right So if you had a daughter would you recommendthat she goes in the military or would you recommend other women to join the military

Meg I would not recommend it I guess I dont go aroundtelling everyone Oh you should just join the military But Ithink if someone ndash if there is a woman who is interested in it or thinking about it I would definitely ndash for me I mean it workedout great There are a lot of like leadership and personalcharacter qualities that I was really able to develop during mytime that have continued to benefit me now

And so for a woman who is interested I would definitely sayGo for it

Todd So Meg you are talking about being inthe military and you said you were a medicCan you explain what that is

Meg Yeah So a medic which now I believeis called health care specialist is ndash I alwayssay its kind of similar to being like aparamedic where its not a full nurse job Ithink nurses have more training like in civilianside nurses but similar to paramedic where you have certain likeminor procedures that youre trained to do and high-level thingsthan just an EMT like doing IVs and giving shots and stitches andthings like that

And youre trained ndash because its the mili tary youre especiallytrained for emergency situations and how to treat someone whohas maybe some serious life-threatening wounds So thats a medic

Todd Wow That sounds like a really difficult job I mean its notyour typical just soldier job You must have had a lot of schoolingand education

Meg I had ndash well everyone goes through the initial about two anda half months like basic training And thats more kind of basiccombat skills and physical training that kind of thing And then I hadfour months past that to train to be a medic So we went through likeemergency medical technician course just like civilian side I gotcertified with that And then we had additional training for the militaryskills like IVs and emergency procedures that kind of thing

Todd Right Can you explain what IV is

Meg IV is an intravenous ndash like getting fluids into your body So if youve been injured and youve lost a lot of blood or maybe youredehydrated and you need some fluid in your body quickly then we

stick a needle into your vein and then the fluids go in And theneedle comes back out but a little tube stays in And then you canget fluids quickly that way

Todd So anybody thats been to the doctor knows thats alwayskind of the anxious moment when the nurse or the person whosgoing to stick the needle in Were you good at doing that

Meg So once I learned how to do it I think I was pretty good And Iactually enjoyed doing it not in a creepy way but you know it was ndashI guess because I was decent at it that it was a part of my job that Ienjoyed

But for myself before we went through that training I actuallybecame dehydrated and needed to get an IV myself And I wasterrified because I really hadnt had that before in my life And sothe nurse was going to come you know put the needle in my arm

and I was like No isnt there another Ill just drink a lot of water And she was saying Arent you going to be a medic And I waslike Oh I havent trained yet Dont do it So yeah

Todd Oh thats cool Yeah I was recently in the hospital and theyhad me strapped up for both blood and for the water theintravenous drip And its annoying because you cant really move

Todd Right Yeah Nobody likes that

Meg No

Todd So you transitioned You were in the medical profession andthen you moved to education Why did you leave the medicalprofession for education

Meg Yeah Thats interesting because I became a medic in themilitary because I thought after I ndash when I could continue collegethat I would be a nurse or a doctor But my time serving as a medichelped me learn that that was not what I wanted to do for my career

after all

So I definitely am glad that I had those skills and the things that Ilearned and was able to experience But I had ndash English had kind of been on the back burner And so then I said Okay let me revisitthis and it led to English education

Todd Wow Have you ever thought about being like an Englishspecialist for people in the medical fields like teaching doctors andnurses

Todd So Meg I thought we would talk alittle bit about the military Now you wereactually in the military

Meg Yes I was actually in the ArmyNational Guard So I enlisted when I was17 In America in the National Guardeach state can have kind of different rulesor different requirements And so inIndiana you can enlist when you are 17 with parentalpermission So I did that

Todd Wow Seventeen is really young age

Meg Yeah And it sort of happened really quick I mean I was a junior in high school and I got a call from a recruiter And at firstI was really against it but then in Indiana if you enlist and youserve your time theyll pay your college tuition if you go to astate college

So Indiana has Purdue and I was interested in going to Purdueanyway so it seemed like a good idea

Todd Thats fantastic So how long were you in the service

Meg I was in for six years all together That was the minimumcommitment So I could have done more but I was ready tomaybe try some other things after that time

Todd Did it go by fast

Meg Looking back it definitely did I think there are differentstages that went by slow or fast Like when I was in actual basic

training when youre in it it was super slow Like yourecounting on the hours every day because youre just desperateto finish and get out and get back to your family And I was youknow 17 so its a little different

But now looking back like I cant believe it was a full six yearsand now its so many years past that already So yeah I guessit did go by fast overall

Todd Yeah thats great So what was it like being a woman inthe military

Meg It was ndash well I served in a unit ndash I was a medic And somy unit a medical unit naturally has more women The ratio iscloser to 50-50 men and women which isnt ndash at least that timewasnt ndash I dont have the current statistics but it isnt that kind of

ratio for the Army as a whole or the military as a whole

And so for me there was ndash I was with a lot of other women alsowhen I was serving But for me personally there were definitelychallenges especially when I was first in basic training like Idefinitely felt personal pressure to try to keep up with the guysWith everything whether its you know physically being able to

lift and carry these heavy boxes and whatever You know youhave the same requirements that you have to do And younever want to be the weak link

And I think some other women maybe suffered a little morebecause they couldnt keep up quite as well And so that can bea little difficult But maybe Im naturally a bit more suited for those kinds of things So I did okay but I definitely wanted toand tried hard to keep up with the physical aspect which isnt aseasy sometimes for women

Todd Well thats interesting So you do look pretty fit so youmust have been really fit back in the day

Meg Yeah I think Yeah especially basic training becauseyoure never like not running Anytime youre walkingsomewhere youre just running running running like theymake you run everywhere And you get like 5 minutes to eatbreakfast and lunch and dinner Every time you have to eat itso fast And then youre doing all this physical training and thengoing through obstacle courses and carrying heavy packsand carrying your weapon round

Yeah So that was probably the most fit Ive ever been Imdefinitely not that now

Todd Right So if you had a daughter would you recommendthat she goes in the military or would you recommend other women to join the military

Meg I would not recommend it I guess I dont go aroundtelling everyone Oh you should just join the military But Ithink if someone ndash if there is a woman who is interested in it or thinking about it I would definitely ndash for me I mean it workedout great There are a lot of like leadership and personalcharacter qualities that I was really able to develop during mytime that have continued to benefit me now

And so for a woman who is interested I would definitely sayGo for it

Todd So Meg you are talking about being inthe military and you said you were a medicCan you explain what that is

Meg Yeah So a medic which now I believeis called health care specialist is ndash I alwayssay its kind of similar to being like aparamedic where its not a full nurse job Ithink nurses have more training like in civilianside nurses but similar to paramedic where you have certain likeminor procedures that youre trained to do and high-level thingsthan just an EMT like doing IVs and giving shots and stitches andthings like that

And youre trained ndash because its the mili tary youre especiallytrained for emergency situations and how to treat someone whohas maybe some serious life-threatening wounds So thats a medic

Todd Wow That sounds like a really difficult job I mean its notyour typical just soldier job You must have had a lot of schoolingand education

Meg I had ndash well everyone goes through the initial about two anda half months like basic training And thats more kind of basiccombat skills and physical training that kind of thing And then I hadfour months past that to train to be a medic So we went through likeemergency medical technician course just like civilian side I gotcertified with that And then we had additional training for the militaryskills like IVs and emergency procedures that kind of thing

Todd Right Can you explain what IV is

Meg IV is an intravenous ndash like getting fluids into your body So if youve been injured and youve lost a lot of blood or maybe youredehydrated and you need some fluid in your body quickly then we

stick a needle into your vein and then the fluids go in And theneedle comes back out but a little tube stays in And then you canget fluids quickly that way

Todd So anybody thats been to the doctor knows thats alwayskind of the anxious moment when the nurse or the person whosgoing to stick the needle in Were you good at doing that

Meg So once I learned how to do it I think I was pretty good And Iactually enjoyed doing it not in a creepy way but you know it was ndashI guess because I was decent at it that it was a part of my job that Ienjoyed

But for myself before we went through that training I actuallybecame dehydrated and needed to get an IV myself And I wasterrified because I really hadnt had that before in my life And sothe nurse was going to come you know put the needle in my arm

and I was like No isnt there another Ill just drink a lot of water And she was saying Arent you going to be a medic And I waslike Oh I havent trained yet Dont do it So yeah

1369 Women in UniformMeg talks about being a woman in the military and why shechose that path

Todd So Meg I thought we would talk alittle bit about the military Now you wereactually in the military

Meg Yes I was actually in the ArmyNational Guard So I enlisted when I was17 In America in the National Guardeach state can have kind of different rulesor different requirements And so inIndiana you can enlist when you are 17 with parentalpermission So I did that

Todd Wow Seventeen is really young age

Meg Yeah And it sort of happened really quick I mean I was a junior in high school and I got a call from a recruiter And at firstI was really against it but then in Indiana if you enlist and youserve your time theyll pay your college tuition if you go to astate college

So Indiana has Purdue and I was interested in going to Purdueanyway so it seemed like a good idea

Todd Thats fantastic So how long were you in the service

Meg I was in for six years all together That was the minimumcommitment So I could have done more but I was ready tomaybe try some other things after that time

Todd Did it go by fast

Meg Looking back it definitely did I think there are differentstages that went by slow or fast Like when I was in actual basic

training when youre in it it was super slow Like yourecounting on the hours every day because youre just desperateto finish and get out and get back to your family And I was youknow 17 so its a little different

But now looking back like I cant believe it was a full six yearsand now its so many years past that already So yeah I guessit did go by fast overall

Todd Yeah thats great So what was it like being a woman inthe military

Meg It was ndash well I served in a unit ndash I was a medic And somy unit a medical unit naturally has more women The ratio iscloser to 50-50 men and women which isnt ndash at least that timewasnt ndash I dont have the current statistics but it isnt that kind of

ratio for the Army as a whole or the military as a whole

And so for me there was ndash I was with a lot of other women alsowhen I was serving But for me personally there were definitelychallenges especially when I was first in basic training like Idefinitely felt personal pressure to try to keep up with the guysWith everything whether its you know physically being able to

6 I think you can do it You should

lift and carry these heavy boxes and whatever You know youhave the same requirements that you have to do And younever want to be the weak link

And I think some other women maybe suffered a little morebecause they couldnt keep up quite as well And so that can bea little difficult But maybe Im naturally a bit more suited for those kinds of things So I did okay but I definitely wanted toand tried hard to keep up with the physical aspect which isnt aseasy sometimes for women

Todd Well thats interesting So you do look pretty fit so youmust have been really fit back in the day

Meg Yeah I think Yeah especially basic training becauseyoure never like not running Anytime youre walkingsomewhere youre just running running running like theymake you run everywhere And you get like 5 minutes to eatbreakfast and lunch and dinner Every time you have to eat itso fast And then youre doing all this physical training and thengoing through obstacle courses and carrying heavy packsand carrying your weapon round

Yeah So that was probably the most fit Ive ever been Imdefinitely not that now

Todd Right So if you had a daughter would you recommendthat she goes in the military or would you recommend other women to join the military

Meg I would not recommend it I guess I dont go aroundtelling everyone Oh you should just join the military But Ithink if someone ndash if there is a woman who is interested in it or thinking about it I would definitely ndash for me I mean it workedout great There are a lot of like leadership and personalcharacter qualities that I was really able to develop during mytime that have continued to benefit me now

And so for a woman who is interested I would definitely sayGo for it

Todd So Meg you are talking about being inthe military and you said you were a medicCan you explain what that is

Meg Yeah So a medic which now I believeis called health care specialist is ndash I alwayssay its kind of similar to being like aparamedic where its not a full nurse job Ithink nurses have more training like in civilianside nurses but similar to paramedic where you have certain likeminor procedures that youre trained to do and high-level thingsthan just an EMT like doing IVs and giving shots and stitches andthings like that

And youre trained ndash because its the mili tary youre especiallytrained for emergency situations and how to treat someone whohas maybe some serious life-threatening wounds So thats a medic

Todd Wow That sounds like a really difficult job I mean its notyour typical just soldier job You must have had a lot of schoolingand education

Meg I had ndash well everyone goes through the initial about two anda half months like basic training And thats more kind of basiccombat skills and physical training that kind of thing And then I hadfour months past that to train to be a medic So we went through likeemergency medical technician course just like civilian side I gotcertified with that And then we had additional training for the militaryskills like IVs and emergency procedures that kind of thing

Todd Right Can you explain what IV is

Meg IV is an intravenous ndash like getting fluids into your body So if youve been injured and youve lost a lot of blood or maybe youredehydrated and you need some fluid in your body quickly then we

stick a needle into your vein and then the fluids go in And theneedle comes back out but a little tube stays in And then you canget fluids quickly that way

Todd So anybody thats been to the doctor knows thats alwayskind of the anxious moment when the nurse or the person whosgoing to stick the needle in Were you good at doing that

Meg So once I learned how to do it I think I was pretty good And Iactually enjoyed doing it not in a creepy way but you know it was ndashI guess because I was decent at it that it was a part of my job that Ienjoyed

But for myself before we went through that training I actuallybecame dehydrated and needed to get an IV myself And I wasterrified because I really hadnt had that before in my life And sothe nurse was going to come you know put the needle in my arm

and I was like No isnt there another Ill just drink a lot of water And she was saying Arent you going to be a medic And I waslike Oh I havent trained yet Dont do it So yeah

Todd So Meg I thought we would talk alittle bit about the military Now you wereactually in the military

Meg Yes I was actually in the ArmyNational Guard So I enlisted when I was17 In America in the National Guardeach state can have kind of different rulesor different requirements And so inIndiana you can enlist when you are 17 with parentalpermission So I did that

Todd Wow Seventeen is really young age

Meg Yeah And it sort of happened really quick I mean I was a junior in high school and I got a call from a recruiter And at firstI was really against it but then in Indiana if you enlist and youserve your time theyll pay your college tuition if you go to astate college

So Indiana has Purdue and I was interested in going to Purdueanyway so it seemed like a good idea

Todd Thats fantastic So how long were you in the service

Meg I was in for six years all together That was the minimumcommitment So I could have done more but I was ready tomaybe try some other things after that time

Todd Did it go by fast

Meg Looking back it definitely did I think there are differentstages that went by slow or fast Like when I was in actual basic

training when youre in it it was super slow Like yourecounting on the hours every day because youre just desperateto finish and get out and get back to your family And I was youknow 17 so its a little different

But now looking back like I cant believe it was a full six yearsand now its so many years past that already So yeah I guessit did go by fast overall

Todd Yeah thats great So what was it like being a woman inthe military

Meg It was ndash well I served in a unit ndash I was a medic And somy unit a medical unit naturally has more women The ratio iscloser to 50-50 men and women which isnt ndash at least that timewasnt ndash I dont have the current statistics but it isnt that kind of

ratio for the Army as a whole or the military as a whole

And so for me there was ndash I was with a lot of other women alsowhen I was serving But for me personally there were definitelychallenges especially when I was first in basic training like Idefinitely felt personal pressure to try to keep up with the guysWith everything whether its you know physically being able to

lift and carry these heavy boxes and whatever You know youhave the same requirements that you have to do And younever want to be the weak link

And I think some other women maybe suffered a little morebecause they couldnt keep up quite as well And so that can bea little difficult But maybe Im naturally a bit more suited for those kinds of things So I did okay but I definitely wanted toand tried hard to keep up with the physical aspect which isnt aseasy sometimes for women

Todd Well thats interesting So you do look pretty fit so youmust have been really fit back in the day

Meg Yeah I think Yeah especially basic training becauseyoure never like not running Anytime youre walkingsomewhere youre just running running running like theymake you run everywhere And you get like 5 minutes to eatbreakfast and lunch and dinner Every time you have to eat itso fast And then youre doing all this physical training and thengoing through obstacle courses and carrying heavy packsand carrying your weapon round

Yeah So that was probably the most fit Ive ever been Imdefinitely not that now

Todd Right So if you had a daughter would you recommendthat she goes in the military or would you recommend other women to join the military

Meg I would not recommend it I guess I dont go aroundtelling everyone Oh you should just join the military But Ithink if someone ndash if there is a woman who is interested in it or thinking about it I would definitely ndash for me I mean it workedout great There are a lot of like leadership and personalcharacter qualities that I was really able to develop during mytime that have continued to benefit me now

And so for a woman who is interested I would definitely sayGo for it

Todd So Meg you are talking about being inthe military and you said you were a medicCan you explain what that is

Meg Yeah So a medic which now I believeis called health care specialist is ndash I alwayssay its kind of similar to being like aparamedic where its not a full nurse job Ithink nurses have more training like in civilianside nurses but similar to paramedic where you have certain likeminor procedures that youre trained to do and high-level thingsthan just an EMT like doing IVs and giving shots and stitches andthings like that

And youre trained ndash because its the mili tary youre especiallytrained for emergency situations and how to treat someone whohas maybe some serious life-threatening wounds So thats a medic

Todd Wow That sounds like a really difficult job I mean its notyour typical just soldier job You must have had a lot of schoolingand education

Meg I had ndash well everyone goes through the initial about two anda half months like basic training And thats more kind of basiccombat skills and physical training that kind of thing And then I hadfour months past that to train to be a medic So we went through likeemergency medical technician course just like civilian side I gotcertified with that And then we had additional training for the militaryskills like IVs and emergency procedures that kind of thing

Todd Right Can you explain what IV is

Meg IV is an intravenous ndash like getting fluids into your body So if youve been injured and youve lost a lot of blood or maybe youredehydrated and you need some fluid in your body quickly then we

stick a needle into your vein and then the fluids go in And theneedle comes back out but a little tube stays in And then you canget fluids quickly that way

Todd So anybody thats been to the doctor knows thats alwayskind of the anxious moment when the nurse or the person whosgoing to stick the needle in Were you good at doing that

Meg So once I learned how to do it I think I was pretty good And Iactually enjoyed doing it not in a creepy way but you know it was ndashI guess because I was decent at it that it was a part of my job that Ienjoyed

But for myself before we went through that training I actuallybecame dehydrated and needed to get an IV myself And I wasterrified because I really hadnt had that before in my life And sothe nurse was going to come you know put the needle in my arm

and I was like No isnt there another Ill just drink a lot of water And she was saying Arent you going to be a medic And I waslike Oh I havent trained yet Dont do it So yeah

Todd So you transitioned You were in the medical profession andthen you moved to education Why did you leave the medicalprofession for education

Meg Yeah Thats interesting because I became a medic in themilitary because I thought after I ndash when I could continue collegethat I would be a nurse or a doctor But my time serving as a medichelped me learn that that was not what I wanted to do for my career

Todd So Meg I thought we would talk alittle bit about the military Now you wereactually in the military

Meg Yes I was actually in the ArmyNational Guard So I enlisted when I was17 In America in the National Guardeach state can have kind of different rulesor different requirements And so inIndiana you can enlist when you are 17 with parentalpermission So I did that

Todd Wow Seventeen is really young age

Meg Yeah And it sort of happened really quick I mean I was a junior in high school and I got a call from a recruiter And at firstI was really against it but then in Indiana if you enlist and youserve your time theyll pay your college tuition if you go to astate college

So Indiana has Purdue and I was interested in going to Purdueanyway so it seemed like a good idea

Todd Thats fantastic So how long were you in the service

Meg I was in for six years all together That was the minimumcommitment So I could have done more but I was ready tomaybe try some other things after that time

Todd Did it go by fast

Meg Looking back it definitely did I think there are differentstages that went by slow or fast Like when I was in actual basic

training when youre in it it was super slow Like yourecounting on the hours every day because youre just desperateto finish and get out and get back to your family And I was youknow 17 so its a little different

But now looking back like I cant believe it was a full six yearsand now its so many years past that already So yeah I guessit did go by fast overall

Todd Yeah thats great So what was it like being a woman inthe military

Meg It was ndash well I served in a unit ndash I was a medic And somy unit a medical unit naturally has more women The ratio iscloser to 50-50 men and women which isnt ndash at least that timewasnt ndash I dont have the current statistics but it isnt that kind of

ratio for the Army as a whole or the military as a whole

And so for me there was ndash I was with a lot of other women alsowhen I was serving But for me personally there were definitelychallenges especially when I was first in basic training like Idefinitely felt personal pressure to try to keep up with the guysWith everything whether its you know physically being able to

lift and carry these heavy boxes and whatever You know youhave the same requirements that you have to do And younever want to be the weak link

And I think some other women maybe suffered a little morebecause they couldnt keep up quite as well And so that can bea little difficult But maybe Im naturally a bit more suited for those kinds of things So I did okay but I definitely wanted toand tried hard to keep up with the physical aspect which isnt aseasy sometimes for women

Todd Well thats interesting So you do look pretty fit so youmust have been really fit back in the day

Meg Yeah I think Yeah especially basic training becauseyoure never like not running Anytime youre walkingsomewhere youre just running running running like theymake you run everywhere And you get like 5 minutes to eatbreakfast and lunch and dinner Every time you have to eat itso fast And then youre doing all this physical training and thengoing through obstacle courses and carrying heavy packsand carrying your weapon round

Yeah So that was probably the most fit Ive ever been Imdefinitely not that now

Todd Right So if you had a daughter would you recommendthat she goes in the military or would you recommend other women to join the military

Meg I would not recommend it I guess I dont go aroundtelling everyone Oh you should just join the military But Ithink if someone ndash if there is a woman who is interested in it or thinking about it I would definitely ndash for me I mean it workedout great There are a lot of like leadership and personalcharacter qualities that I was really able to develop during mytime that have continued to benefit me now

And so for a woman who is interested I would definitely sayGo for it

Todd So Meg you are talking about being inthe military and you said you were a medicCan you explain what that is

Meg Yeah So a medic which now I believeis called health care specialist is ndash I alwayssay its kind of similar to being like aparamedic where its not a full nurse job Ithink nurses have more training like in civilianside nurses but similar to paramedic where you have certain likeminor procedures that youre trained to do and high-level thingsthan just an EMT like doing IVs and giving shots and stitches andthings like that

And youre trained ndash because its the mili tary youre especiallytrained for emergency situations and how to treat someone whohas maybe some serious life-threatening wounds So thats a medic

Todd Wow That sounds like a really difficult job I mean its notyour typical just soldier job You must have had a lot of schoolingand education

Meg I had ndash well everyone goes through the initial about two anda half months like basic training And thats more kind of basiccombat skills and physical training that kind of thing And then I hadfour months past that to train to be a medic So we went through likeemergency medical technician course just like civilian side I gotcertified with that And then we had additional training for the militaryskills like IVs and emergency procedures that kind of thing

Todd Right Can you explain what IV is

Meg IV is an intravenous ndash like getting fluids into your body So if youve been injured and youve lost a lot of blood or maybe youredehydrated and you need some fluid in your body quickly then we

stick a needle into your vein and then the fluids go in And theneedle comes back out but a little tube stays in And then you canget fluids quickly that way

Todd So anybody thats been to the doctor knows thats alwayskind of the anxious moment when the nurse or the person whosgoing to stick the needle in Were you good at doing that

Meg So once I learned how to do it I think I was pretty good And Iactually enjoyed doing it not in a creepy way but you know it was ndashI guess because I was decent at it that it was a part of my job that Ienjoyed

But for myself before we went through that training I actuallybecame dehydrated and needed to get an IV myself And I wasterrified because I really hadnt had that before in my life And sothe nurse was going to come you know put the needle in my arm

and I was like No isnt there another Ill just drink a lot of water And she was saying Arent you going to be a medic And I waslike Oh I havent trained yet Dont do it So yeah

Goron Okay In Italy the biggest city is Rome Itrsquos a reallyancient city as you know And so for this reason it was built for horses for a really small amount of people not five million as Ithink we have today

So the biggest problem in Rome is the traffic jam Sometimes it

could be terrible terrible You can be stuck in the traffic for hours And you just start to think ldquoOh well I want to get out of hererdquo

Michael Have you ndash do you have any kinds of rules or liketherersquos days specific days where you cannot drive if your signhas this specific number or something like that

Todd So Meg I thought we would talk alittle bit about the military Now you wereactually in the military

Meg Yes I was actually in the ArmyNational Guard So I enlisted when I was17 In America in the National Guardeach state can have kind of different rulesor different requirements And so inIndiana you can enlist when you are 17 with parentalpermission So I did that

Todd Wow Seventeen is really young age

Meg Yeah And it sort of happened really quick I mean I was a junior in high school and I got a call from a recruiter And at firstI was really against it but then in Indiana if you enlist and youserve your time theyll pay your college tuition if you go to astate college

So Indiana has Purdue and I was interested in going to Purdueanyway so it seemed like a good idea

Todd Thats fantastic So how long were you in the service

Meg I was in for six years all together That was the minimumcommitment So I could have done more but I was ready tomaybe try some other things after that time

Todd Did it go by fast

Meg Looking back it definitely did I think there are differentstages that went by slow or fast Like when I was in actual basic

training when youre in it it was super slow Like yourecounting on the hours every day because youre just desperateto finish and get out and get back to your family And I was youknow 17 so its a little different

But now looking back like I cant believe it was a full six yearsand now its so many years past that already So yeah I guessit did go by fast overall

Todd Yeah thats great So what was it like being a woman inthe military

Meg It was ndash well I served in a unit ndash I was a medic And somy unit a medical unit naturally has more women The ratio iscloser to 50-50 men and women which isnt ndash at least that timewasnt ndash I dont have the current statistics but it isnt that kind of

ratio for the Army as a whole or the military as a whole

And so for me there was ndash I was with a lot of other women alsowhen I was serving But for me personally there were definitelychallenges especially when I was first in basic training like Idefinitely felt personal pressure to try to keep up with the guysWith everything whether its you know physically being able to

lift and carry these heavy boxes and whatever You know youhave the same requirements that you have to do And younever want to be the weak link

And I think some other women maybe suffered a little morebecause they couldnt keep up quite as well And so that can bea little difficult But maybe Im naturally a bit more suited for those kinds of things So I did okay but I definitely wanted toand tried hard to keep up with the physical aspect which isnt aseasy sometimes for women

Todd Well thats interesting So you do look pretty fit so youmust have been really fit back in the day

Meg Yeah I think Yeah especially basic training becauseyoure never like not running Anytime youre walkingsomewhere youre just running running running like theymake you run everywhere And you get like 5 minutes to eatbreakfast and lunch and dinner Every time you have to eat itso fast And then youre doing all this physical training and thengoing through obstacle courses and carrying heavy packsand carrying your weapon round

Yeah So that was probably the most fit Ive ever been Imdefinitely not that now

Todd Right So if you had a daughter would you recommendthat she goes in the military or would you recommend other women to join the military

Meg I would not recommend it I guess I dont go aroundtelling everyone Oh you should just join the military But Ithink if someone ndash if there is a woman who is interested in it or thinking about it I would definitely ndash for me I mean it workedout great There are a lot of like leadership and personalcharacter qualities that I was really able to develop during mytime that have continued to benefit me now

And so for a woman who is interested I would definitely sayGo for it

Meg Yeah So a medic which now I believeis called health care specialist is ndash I alwayssay its kind of similar to being like aparamedic where its not a full nurse job Ithink nurses have more training like in civilianside nurses but similar to paramedic where you have certain likeminor procedures that youre trained to do and high-level thingsthan just an EMT like doing IVs and giving shots and stitches andthings like that

And youre trained ndash because its the mili tary youre especiallytrained for emergency situations and how to treat someone whohas maybe some serious life-threatening wounds So thats a medic

Meg I had ndash well everyone goes through the initial about two anda half months like basic training And thats more kind of basiccombat skills and physical training that kind of thing And then I hadfour months past that to train to be a medic So we went through likeemergency medical technician course just like civilian side I gotcertified with that And then we had additional training for the militaryskills like IVs and emergency procedures that kind of thing

Todd Right Can you explain what IV is

Meg IV is an intravenous ndash like getting fluids into your body So if youve been injured and youve lost a lot of blood or maybe youredehydrated and you need some fluid in your body quickly then we

stick a needle into your vein and then the fluids go in And theneedle comes back out but a little tube stays in And then you canget fluids quickly that way

Todd So anybody thats been to the doctor knows thats alwayskind of the anxious moment when the nurse or the person whosgoing to stick the needle in Were you good at doing that

Meg So once I learned how to do it I think I was pretty good And Iactually enjoyed doing it not in a creepy way but you know it was ndashI guess because I was decent at it that it was a part of my job that Ienjoyed

But for myself before we went through that training I actuallybecame dehydrated and needed to get an IV myself And I wasterrified because I really hadnt had that before in my life And sothe nurse was going to come you know put the needle in my arm

and I was like No isnt there another Ill just drink a lot of water And she was saying Arent you going to be a medic And I waslike Oh I havent trained yet Dont do it So yeah

Todd Oh thats cool Yeah I was recently in the hospital and theyhad me strapped up for both blood and for the water theintravenous drip And its annoying because you cant really move

Todd Right So what percentage of people would you say freak outwhen they get the needle

Todd Right Yeah Nobody likes that

Meg No

Todd So you transitioned You were in the medical profession andthen you moved to education Why did you leave the medicalprofession for education

Meg Yeah Thats interesting because I became a medic in themilitary because I thought after I ndash when I could continue collegethat I would be a nurse or a doctor But my time serving as a medichelped me learn that that was not what I wanted to do for my career

after all

So I definitely am glad that I had those skills and the things that Ilearned and was able to experience But I had ndash English had kind of been on the back burner And so then I said Okay let me revisitthis and it led to English education

Todd Wow Have you ever thought about being like an Englishspecialist for people in the medical fields like teaching doctors andnurses

Meg Yeah And it sort of happened really quick I mean I was a junior in high school and I got a call from a recruiter And at firstI was really against it but then in Indiana if you enlist and youserve your time theyll pay your college tuition if you go to astate college

So Indiana has Purdue and I was interested in going to Purdueanyway so it seemed like a good idea

Todd Thats fantastic So how long were you in the service

Meg I was in for six years all together That was the minimumcommitment So I could have done more but I was ready tomaybe try some other things after that time

Todd Did it go by fast

Meg Looking back it definitely did I think there are differentstages that went by slow or fast Like when I was in actual basic

training when youre in it it was super slow Like yourecounting on the hours every day because youre just desperateto finish and get out and get back to your family And I was youknow 17 so its a little different

But now looking back like I cant believe it was a full six yearsand now its so many years past that already So yeah I guessit did go by fast overall

Todd Yeah thats great So what was it like being a woman inthe military

Meg It was ndash well I served in a unit ndash I was a medic And somy unit a medical unit naturally has more women The ratio iscloser to 50-50 men and women which isnt ndash at least that timewasnt ndash I dont have the current statistics but it isnt that kind of

ratio for the Army as a whole or the military as a whole

And so for me there was ndash I was with a lot of other women alsowhen I was serving But for me personally there were definitelychallenges especially when I was first in basic training like Idefinitely felt personal pressure to try to keep up with the guysWith everything whether its you know physically being able to

Yeah So that was probably the most fit Ive ever been Imdefinitely not that now

Todd Right So if you had a daughter would you recommendthat she goes in the military or would you recommend other women to join the military

Todd So Meg you are talking about being inthe military and you said you were a medicCan you explain what that is

Meg Yeah So a medic which now I believeis called health care specialist is ndash I alwayssay its kind of similar to being like aparamedic where its not a full nurse job Ithink nurses have more training like in civilianside nurses but similar to paramedic where you have certain likeminor procedures that youre trained to do and high-level thingsthan just an EMT like doing IVs and giving shots and stitches andthings like that

And youre trained ndash because its the mili tary youre especiallytrained for emergency situations and how to treat someone whohas maybe some serious life-threatening wounds So thats a medic

Todd Wow That sounds like a really difficult job I mean its notyour typical just soldier job You must have had a lot of schoolingand education

Meg I had ndash well everyone goes through the initial about two anda half months like basic training And thats more kind of basiccombat skills and physical training that kind of thing And then I hadfour months past that to train to be a medic So we went through likeemergency medical technician course just like civilian side I gotcertified with that And then we had additional training for the militaryskills like IVs and emergency procedures that kind of thing

Todd Right Can you explain what IV is

Meg IV is an intravenous ndash like getting fluids into your body So if youve been injured and youve lost a lot of blood or maybe youredehydrated and you need some fluid in your body quickly then we

stick a needle into your vein and then the fluids go in And theneedle comes back out but a little tube stays in And then you canget fluids quickly that way

Todd So anybody thats been to the doctor knows thats alwayskind of the anxious moment when the nurse or the person whosgoing to stick the needle in Were you good at doing that

Meg So once I learned how to do it I think I was pretty good And Iactually enjoyed doing it not in a creepy way but you know it was ndashI guess because I was decent at it that it was a part of my job that Ienjoyed

But for myself before we went through that training I actuallybecame dehydrated and needed to get an IV myself And I wasterrified because I really hadnt had that before in my life And sothe nurse was going to come you know put the needle in my arm

and I was like No isnt there another Ill just drink a lot of water And she was saying Arent you going to be a medic And I waslike Oh I havent trained yet Dont do it So yeah

Todd Oh thats cool Yeah I was recently in the hospital and theyhad me strapped up for both blood and for the water theintravenous drip And its annoying because you cant really move

like if you want to get up and walk anywhere youre strapped withall these tubes And its not very convenient

Meg Yeah yeah Or at least you have to careful When I wasgetting the IV I didnt know that the needle doesnt stay in your armNow for some things it does For blood maybe its different Im notsure But yeah so I was trying to be so careful too but you still wantit to go well so you dont want to move very much

Todd Right So what percentage of people would you say freak outwhen they get the needle

Meg Probably 90 or 95

Todd Oh really

Meg Yeah Even you know tough Army guys would come in andbe ndash and theyd be like Oh Im fine Im fine in a bit Well weneed to give you an IV And theyd be like Oh

Todd Right Yeah Nobody likes that

Meg No

Todd So you transitioned You were in the medical profession andthen you moved to education Why did you leave the medicalprofession for education

Meg Yeah Thats interesting because I became a medic in themilitary because I thought after I ndash when I could continue collegethat I would be a nurse or a doctor But my time serving as a medichelped me learn that that was not what I wanted to do for my career

after all

So I definitely am glad that I had those skills and the things that Ilearned and was able to experience But I had ndash English had kind of been on the back burner And so then I said Okay let me revisitthis and it led to English education

Todd Wow Have you ever thought about being like an Englishspecialist for people in the medical fields like teaching doctors andnurses

Meg I guess I havent thought about that specifically Sometimes Ithought about going back to military They do have something likeEnglish schools in the military And so I guess that would berelated Also it could be ndash yeah so that would be interestingSomething to think about

1369 Women in UniformMeg talks about being a woman in the military and why shechose that path

Todd So Meg I thought we would talk alittle bit about the military Now you wereactually in the military

Meg Yes I was actually in the ArmyNational Guard So I enlisted when I was17 In America in the National Guardeach state can have kind of different rulesor different requirements And so inIndiana you can enlist when you are 17 with parentalpermission So I did that

Todd Wow Seventeen is really young age

Meg Yeah And it sort of happened really quick I mean I was a junior in high school and I got a call from a recruiter And at firstI was really against it but then in Indiana if you enlist and youserve your time theyll pay your college tuition if you go to astate college

So Indiana has Purdue and I was interested in going to Purdueanyway so it seemed like a good idea

Todd Thats fantastic So how long were you in the service

Meg I was in for six years all together That was the minimumcommitment So I could have done more but I was ready tomaybe try some other things after that time

Todd Did it go by fast

Meg Looking back it definitely did I think there are differentstages that went by slow or fast Like when I was in actual basic

training when youre in it it was super slow Like yourecounting on the hours every day because youre just desperateto finish and get out and get back to your family And I was youknow 17 so its a little different

But now looking back like I cant believe it was a full six yearsand now its so many years past that already So yeah I guessit did go by fast overall

Todd Yeah thats great So what was it like being a woman inthe military

Meg It was ndash well I served in a unit ndash I was a medic And somy unit a medical unit naturally has more women The ratio iscloser to 50-50 men and women which isnt ndash at least that timewasnt ndash I dont have the current statistics but it isnt that kind of

ratio for the Army as a whole or the military as a whole

And so for me there was ndash I was with a lot of other women alsowhen I was serving But for me personally there were definitelychallenges especially when I was first in basic training like Idefinitely felt personal pressure to try to keep up with the guysWith everything whether its you know physically being able to

6 I think you can do it You should

lift and carry these heavy boxes and whatever You know youhave the same requirements that you have to do And younever want to be the weak link

And I think some other women maybe suffered a little morebecause they couldnt keep up quite as well And so that can bea little difficult But maybe Im naturally a bit more suited for those kinds of things So I did okay but I definitely wanted toand tried hard to keep up with the physical aspect which isnt aseasy sometimes for women

Todd Well thats interesting So you do look pretty fit so youmust have been really fit back in the day

Meg Yeah I think Yeah especially basic training becauseyoure never like not running Anytime youre walkingsomewhere youre just running running running like theymake you run everywhere And you get like 5 minutes to eatbreakfast and lunch and dinner Every time you have to eat itso fast And then youre doing all this physical training and thengoing through obstacle courses and carrying heavy packsand carrying your weapon round

Yeah So that was probably the most fit Ive ever been Imdefinitely not that now

Todd Right So if you had a daughter would you recommendthat she goes in the military or would you recommend other women to join the military

Meg I would not recommend it I guess I dont go aroundtelling everyone Oh you should just join the military But Ithink if someone ndash if there is a woman who is interested in it or thinking about it I would definitely ndash for me I mean it workedout great There are a lot of like leadership and personalcharacter qualities that I was really able to develop during mytime that have continued to benefit me now

And so for a woman who is interested I would definitely sayGo for it

Meg Yeah So a medic which now I believeis called health care specialist is ndash I alwayssay its kind of similar to being like aparamedic where its not a full nurse job Ithink nurses have more training like in civilianside nurses but similar to paramedic where you have certain likeminor procedures that youre trained to do and high-level thingsthan just an EMT like doing IVs and giving shots and stitches andthings like that

And youre trained ndash because its the mili tary youre especiallytrained for emergency situations and how to treat someone whohas maybe some serious life-threatening wounds So thats a medic

Meg I had ndash well everyone goes through the initial about two anda half months like basic training And thats more kind of basiccombat skills and physical training that kind of thing And then I hadfour months past that to train to be a medic So we went through likeemergency medical technician course just like civilian side I gotcertified with that And then we had additional training for the militaryskills like IVs and emergency procedures that kind of thing

Todd Right Can you explain what IV is

Meg IV is an intravenous ndash like getting fluids into your body So if youve been injured and youve lost a lot of blood or maybe youredehydrated and you need some fluid in your body quickly then we

stick a needle into your vein and then the fluids go in And theneedle comes back out but a little tube stays in And then you canget fluids quickly that way

Todd So anybody thats been to the doctor knows thats alwayskind of the anxious moment when the nurse or the person whosgoing to stick the needle in Were you good at doing that

Meg So once I learned how to do it I think I was pretty good And Iactually enjoyed doing it not in a creepy way but you know it was ndashI guess because I was decent at it that it was a part of my job that Ienjoyed

But for myself before we went through that training I actuallybecame dehydrated and needed to get an IV myself And I wasterrified because I really hadnt had that before in my life And sothe nurse was going to come you know put the needle in my arm

and I was like No isnt there another Ill just drink a lot of water And she was saying Arent you going to be a medic And I waslike Oh I havent trained yet Dont do it So yeah

Meg Yes I was actually in the ArmyNational Guard So I enlisted when I was17 In America in the National Guardeach state can have kind of different rulesor different requirements And so inIndiana you can enlist when you are 17 with parentalpermission So I did that

Todd Wow Seventeen is really young age

Meg Yeah And it sort of happened really quick I mean I was a junior in high school and I got a call from a recruiter And at firstI was really against it but then in Indiana if you enlist and youserve your time theyll pay your college tuition if you go to astate college

So Indiana has Purdue and I was interested in going to Purdueanyway so it seemed like a good idea

Todd Thats fantastic So how long were you in the service

Meg I was in for six years all together That was the minimumcommitment So I could have done more but I was ready tomaybe try some other things after that time

Todd Did it go by fast

Meg Looking back it definitely did I think there are differentstages that went by slow or fast Like when I was in actual basic

training when youre in it it was super slow Like yourecounting on the hours every day because youre just desperateto finish and get out and get back to your family And I was youknow 17 so its a little different

But now looking back like I cant believe it was a full six yearsand now its so many years past that already So yeah I guessit did go by fast overall

Todd Yeah thats great So what was it like being a woman inthe military

Meg It was ndash well I served in a unit ndash I was a medic And somy unit a medical unit naturally has more women The ratio iscloser to 50-50 men and women which isnt ndash at least that timewasnt ndash I dont have the current statistics but it isnt that kind of

ratio for the Army as a whole or the military as a whole

And so for me there was ndash I was with a lot of other women alsowhen I was serving But for me personally there were definitelychallenges especially when I was first in basic training like Idefinitely felt personal pressure to try to keep up with the guysWith everything whether its you know physically being able to

lift and carry these heavy boxes and whatever You know youhave the same requirements that you have to do And younever want to be the weak link

And I think some other women maybe suffered a little morebecause they couldnt keep up quite as well And so that can bea little difficult But maybe Im naturally a bit more suited for those kinds of things So I did okay but I definitely wanted toand tried hard to keep up with the physical aspect which isnt aseasy sometimes for women

Todd Well thats interesting So you do look pretty fit so youmust have been really fit back in the day

Meg Yeah I think Yeah especially basic training becauseyoure never like not running Anytime youre walkingsomewhere youre just running running running like theymake you run everywhere And you get like 5 minutes to eatbreakfast and lunch and dinner Every time you have to eat itso fast And then youre doing all this physical training and thengoing through obstacle courses and carrying heavy packsand carrying your weapon round

Yeah So that was probably the most fit Ive ever been Imdefinitely not that now

Todd Right So if you had a daughter would you recommendthat she goes in the military or would you recommend other women to join the military

Meg I would not recommend it I guess I dont go aroundtelling everyone Oh you should just join the military But Ithink if someone ndash if there is a woman who is interested in it or thinking about it I would definitely ndash for me I mean it workedout great There are a lot of like leadership and personalcharacter qualities that I was really able to develop during mytime that have continued to benefit me now

And so for a woman who is interested I would definitely sayGo for it

Meg Yeah So a medic which now I believeis called health care specialist is ndash I alwayssay its kind of similar to being like aparamedic where its not a full nurse job Ithink nurses have more training like in civilianside nurses but similar to paramedic where you have certain likeminor procedures that youre trained to do and high-level thingsthan just an EMT like doing IVs and giving shots and stitches andthings like that

And youre trained ndash because its the mili tary youre especiallytrained for emergency situations and how to treat someone whohas maybe some serious life-threatening wounds So thats a medic

Meg I had ndash well everyone goes through the initial about two anda half months like basic training And thats more kind of basiccombat skills and physical training that kind of thing And then I hadfour months past that to train to be a medic So we went through likeemergency medical technician course just like civilian side I gotcertified with that And then we had additional training for the militaryskills like IVs and emergency procedures that kind of thing

Todd Right Can you explain what IV is

Meg IV is an intravenous ndash like getting fluids into your body So if youve been injured and youve lost a lot of blood or maybe youredehydrated and you need some fluid in your body quickly then we

stick a needle into your vein and then the fluids go in And theneedle comes back out but a little tube stays in And then you canget fluids quickly that way

Todd So anybody thats been to the doctor knows thats alwayskind of the anxious moment when the nurse or the person whosgoing to stick the needle in Were you good at doing that

Meg So once I learned how to do it I think I was pretty good And Iactually enjoyed doing it not in a creepy way but you know it was ndashI guess because I was decent at it that it was a part of my job that Ienjoyed

But for myself before we went through that training I actuallybecame dehydrated and needed to get an IV myself And I wasterrified because I really hadnt had that before in my life And sothe nurse was going to come you know put the needle in my arm

and I was like No isnt there another Ill just drink a lot of water And she was saying Arent you going to be a medic And I waslike Oh I havent trained yet Dont do it So yeah

Meg No

Todd So you transitioned You were in the medical profession andthen you moved to education Why did you leave the medicalprofession for education

after all

So I definitely am glad that I had those skills and the things that Ilearned and was able to experience But I had ndash English had kind of been on the back burner And so then I said Okay let me revisitthis and it led to English education

Todd Wow Have you ever thought about being like an Englishspecialist for people in the medical fields like teaching doctors andnurses

1369 Women in UniformMeg talks about being a woman in the military and why shechose that path

Todd So Meg I thought we would talk alittle bit about the military Now you wereactually in the military

Meg Yes I was actually in the ArmyNational Guard So I enlisted when I was17 In America in the National Guardeach state can have kind of different rulesor different requirements And so inIndiana you can enlist when you are 17 with parentalpermission So I did that

Todd Wow Seventeen is really young age

Meg Yeah And it sort of happened really quick I mean I was a junior in high school and I got a call from a recruiter And at firstI was really against it but then in Indiana if you enlist and youserve your time theyll pay your college tuition if you go to astate college

So Indiana has Purdue and I was interested in going to Purdueanyway so it seemed like a good idea

Todd Thats fantastic So how long were you in the service

Meg I was in for six years all together That was the minimumcommitment So I could have done more but I was ready tomaybe try some other things after that time

Todd Did it go by fast

Meg Looking back it definitely did I think there are differentstages that went by slow or fast Like when I was in actual basic

training when youre in it it was super slow Like yourecounting on the hours every day because youre just desperateto finish and get out and get back to your family And I was youknow 17 so its a little different

But now looking back like I cant believe it was a full six yearsand now its so many years past that already So yeah I guessit did go by fast overall

Todd Yeah thats great So what was it like being a woman inthe military

Meg It was ndash well I served in a unit ndash I was a medic And somy unit a medical unit naturally has more women The ratio iscloser to 50-50 men and women which isnt ndash at least that timewasnt ndash I dont have the current statistics but it isnt that kind of

ratio for the Army as a whole or the military as a whole

And so for me there was ndash I was with a lot of other women alsowhen I was serving But for me personally there were definitelychallenges especially when I was first in basic training like Idefinitely felt personal pressure to try to keep up with the guysWith everything whether its you know physically being able to

6 I think you can do it You should

lift and carry these heavy boxes and whatever You know youhave the same requirements that you have to do And younever want to be the weak link

And I think some other women maybe suffered a little morebecause they couldnt keep up quite as well And so that can bea little difficult But maybe Im naturally a bit more suited for those kinds of things So I did okay but I definitely wanted toand tried hard to keep up with the physical aspect which isnt aseasy sometimes for women

Todd Well thats interesting So you do look pretty fit so youmust have been really fit back in the day

Meg Yeah I think Yeah especially basic training becauseyoure never like not running Anytime youre walkingsomewhere youre just running running running like theymake you run everywhere And you get like 5 minutes to eatbreakfast and lunch and dinner Every time you have to eat itso fast And then youre doing all this physical training and thengoing through obstacle courses and carrying heavy packsand carrying your weapon round

Yeah So that was probably the most fit Ive ever been Imdefinitely not that now

Todd Right So if you had a daughter would you recommendthat she goes in the military or would you recommend other women to join the military

Meg I would not recommend it I guess I dont go aroundtelling everyone Oh you should just join the military But Ithink if someone ndash if there is a woman who is interested in it or thinking about it I would definitely ndash for me I mean it workedout great There are a lot of like leadership and personalcharacter qualities that I was really able to develop during mytime that have continued to benefit me now

And so for a woman who is interested I would definitely sayGo for it

Meg Yeah So a medic which now I believeis called health care specialist is ndash I alwayssay its kind of similar to being like aparamedic where its not a full nurse job Ithink nurses have more training like in civilianside nurses but similar to paramedic where you have certain likeminor procedures that youre trained to do and high-level thingsthan just an EMT like doing IVs and giving shots and stitches andthings like that

And youre trained ndash because its the mili tary youre especiallytrained for emergency situations and how to treat someone whohas maybe some serious life-threatening wounds So thats a medic

Meg I had ndash well everyone goes through the initial about two anda half months like basic training And thats more kind of basiccombat skills and physical training that kind of thing And then I hadfour months past that to train to be a medic So we went through likeemergency medical technician course just like civilian side I gotcertified with that And then we had additional training for the militaryskills like IVs and emergency procedures that kind of thing

Todd Right Can you explain what IV is

Meg IV is an intravenous ndash like getting fluids into your body So if youve been injured and youve lost a lot of blood or maybe youredehydrated and you need some fluid in your body quickly then we

stick a needle into your vein and then the fluids go in And theneedle comes back out but a little tube stays in And then you canget fluids quickly that way

Todd So anybody thats been to the doctor knows thats alwayskind of the anxious moment when the nurse or the person whosgoing to stick the needle in Were you good at doing that

Meg So once I learned how to do it I think I was pretty good And Iactually enjoyed doing it not in a creepy way but you know it was ndashI guess because I was decent at it that it was a part of my job that Ienjoyed

But for myself before we went through that training I actuallybecame dehydrated and needed to get an IV myself And I wasterrified because I really hadnt had that before in my life And sothe nurse was going to come you know put the needle in my arm

and I was like No isnt there another Ill just drink a lot of water And she was saying Arent you going to be a medic And I waslike Oh I havent trained yet Dont do it So yeah

Meg Yeah And it sort of happened really quick I mean I was a junior in high school and I got a call from a recruiter And at firstI was really against it but then in Indiana if you enlist and youserve your time theyll pay your college tuition if you go to astate college

So Indiana has Purdue and I was interested in going to Purdueanyway so it seemed like a good idea

Todd Thats fantastic So how long were you in the service

Meg I was in for six years all together That was the minimumcommitment So I could have done more but I was ready tomaybe try some other things after that time

Todd Did it go by fast

Meg Looking back it definitely did I think there are differentstages that went by slow or fast Like when I was in actual basic

training when youre in it it was super slow Like yourecounting on the hours every day because youre just desperateto finish and get out and get back to your family And I was youknow 17 so its a little different

But now looking back like I cant believe it was a full six yearsand now its so many years past that already So yeah I guessit did go by fast overall

Todd Yeah thats great So what was it like being a woman inthe military

Meg It was ndash well I served in a unit ndash I was a medic And somy unit a medical unit naturally has more women The ratio iscloser to 50-50 men and women which isnt ndash at least that timewasnt ndash I dont have the current statistics but it isnt that kind of

ratio for the Army as a whole or the military as a whole

Yeah So that was probably the most fit Ive ever been Imdefinitely not that now

Todd Right So if you had a daughter would you recommendthat she goes in the military or would you recommend other women to join the military

Meg Yeah So a medic which now I believeis called health care specialist is ndash I alwayssay its kind of similar to being like aparamedic where its not a full nurse job Ithink nurses have more training like in civilianside nurses but similar to paramedic where you have certain likeminor procedures that youre trained to do and high-level thingsthan just an EMT like doing IVs and giving shots and stitches andthings like that

And youre trained ndash because its the mili tary youre especiallytrained for emergency situations and how to treat someone whohas maybe some serious life-threatening wounds So thats a medic

Todd Wow That sounds like a really difficult job I mean its notyour typical just soldier job You must have had a lot of schoolingand education

Meg I had ndash well everyone goes through the initial about two anda half months like basic training And thats more kind of basiccombat skills and physical training that kind of thing And then I hadfour months past that to train to be a medic So we went through likeemergency medical technician course just like civilian side I gotcertified with that And then we had additional training for the militaryskills like IVs and emergency procedures that kind of thing

Todd Right Can you explain what IV is

Meg IV is an intravenous ndash like getting fluids into your body So if youve been injured and youve lost a lot of blood or maybe youredehydrated and you need some fluid in your body quickly then we

stick a needle into your vein and then the fluids go in And theneedle comes back out but a little tube stays in And then you canget fluids quickly that way

Todd So anybody thats been to the doctor knows thats alwayskind of the anxious moment when the nurse or the person whosgoing to stick the needle in Were you good at doing that

Meg So once I learned how to do it I think I was pretty good And Iactually enjoyed doing it not in a creepy way but you know it was ndashI guess because I was decent at it that it was a part of my job that Ienjoyed

But for myself before we went through that training I actuallybecame dehydrated and needed to get an IV myself And I wasterrified because I really hadnt had that before in my life And sothe nurse was going to come you know put the needle in my arm

and I was like No isnt there another Ill just drink a lot of water And she was saying Arent you going to be a medic And I waslike Oh I havent trained yet Dont do it So yeah

Todd Oh thats cool Yeah I was recently in the hospital and theyhad me strapped up for both blood and for the water theintravenous drip And its annoying because you cant really move

Meg Yeah yeah Or at least you have to careful When I wasgetting the IV I didnt know that the needle doesnt stay in your armNow for some things it does For blood maybe its different Im notsure But yeah so I was trying to be so careful too but you still wantit to go well so you dont want to move very much

Todd Right So what percentage of people would you say freak outwhen they get the needle

Todd Right Yeah Nobody likes that

Meg No

Todd So you transitioned You were in the medical profession andthen you moved to education Why did you leave the medicalprofession for education

after all

So I definitely am glad that I had those skills and the things that Ilearned and was able to experience But I had ndash English had kind of been on the back burner And so then I said Okay let me revisitthis and it led to English education

Todd So Meg I thought we would talk alittle bit about the military Now you wereactually in the military

Meg Yes I was actually in the ArmyNational Guard So I enlisted when I was17 In America in the National Guardeach state can have kind of different rulesor different requirements And so inIndiana you can enlist when you are 17 with parentalpermission So I did that

Todd Wow Seventeen is really young age

Meg Yeah And it sort of happened really quick I mean I was a junior in high school and I got a call from a recruiter And at firstI was really against it but then in Indiana if you enlist and youserve your time theyll pay your college tuition if you go to astate college

So Indiana has Purdue and I was interested in going to Purdueanyway so it seemed like a good idea

Todd Thats fantastic So how long were you in the service

Meg I was in for six years all together That was the minimumcommitment So I could have done more but I was ready tomaybe try some other things after that time

Todd Did it go by fast

Meg Looking back it definitely did I think there are differentstages that went by slow or fast Like when I was in actual basic

training when youre in it it was super slow Like yourecounting on the hours every day because youre just desperateto finish and get out and get back to your family And I was youknow 17 so its a little different

But now looking back like I cant believe it was a full six yearsand now its so many years past that already So yeah I guessit did go by fast overall

Todd Yeah thats great So what was it like being a woman inthe military

Meg It was ndash well I served in a unit ndash I was a medic And somy unit a medical unit naturally has more women The ratio iscloser to 50-50 men and women which isnt ndash at least that timewasnt ndash I dont have the current statistics but it isnt that kind of

ratio for the Army as a whole or the military as a whole

And so for me there was ndash I was with a lot of other women alsowhen I was serving But for me personally there were definitelychallenges especially when I was first in basic training like Idefinitely felt personal pressure to try to keep up with the guysWith everything whether its you know physically being able to

lift and carry these heavy boxes and whatever You know youhave the same requirements that you have to do And younever want to be the weak link

And I think some other women maybe suffered a little morebecause they couldnt keep up quite as well And so that can bea little difficult But maybe Im naturally a bit more suited for those kinds of things So I did okay but I definitely wanted toand tried hard to keep up with the physical aspect which isnt aseasy sometimes for women

Todd Well thats interesting So you do look pretty fit so youmust have been really fit back in the day

Meg Yeah I think Yeah especially basic training becauseyoure never like not running Anytime youre walkingsomewhere youre just running running running like theymake you run everywhere And you get like 5 minutes to eatbreakfast and lunch and dinner Every time you have to eat itso fast And then youre doing all this physical training and thengoing through obstacle courses and carrying heavy packsand carrying your weapon round

Yeah So that was probably the most fit Ive ever been Imdefinitely not that now

Todd Right So if you had a daughter would you recommendthat she goes in the military or would you recommend other women to join the military

Meg I would not recommend it I guess I dont go aroundtelling everyone Oh you should just join the military But Ithink if someone ndash if there is a woman who is interested in it or thinking about it I would definitely ndash for me I mean it workedout great There are a lot of like leadership and personalcharacter qualities that I was really able to develop during mytime that have continued to benefit me now

And so for a woman who is interested I would definitely sayGo for it

Meg Yeah So a medic which now I believeis called health care specialist is ndash I alwayssay its kind of similar to being like aparamedic where its not a full nurse job Ithink nurses have more training like in civilianside nurses but similar to paramedic where you have certain likeminor procedures that youre trained to do and high-level thingsthan just an EMT like doing IVs and giving shots and stitches andthings like that

And youre trained ndash because its the mili tary youre especiallytrained for emergency situations and how to treat someone whohas maybe some serious life-threatening wounds So thats a medic

Meg I had ndash well everyone goes through the initial about two anda half months like basic training And thats more kind of basiccombat skills and physical training that kind of thing And then I hadfour months past that to train to be a medic So we went through likeemergency medical technician course just like civilian side I gotcertified with that And then we had additional training for the militaryskills like IVs and emergency procedures that kind of thing

Todd Right Can you explain what IV is

Meg IV is an intravenous ndash like getting fluids into your body So if youve been injured and youve lost a lot of blood or maybe youredehydrated and you need some fluid in your body quickly then we

stick a needle into your vein and then the fluids go in And theneedle comes back out but a little tube stays in And then you canget fluids quickly that way

Todd So anybody thats been to the doctor knows thats alwayskind of the anxious moment when the nurse or the person whosgoing to stick the needle in Were you good at doing that

Meg So once I learned how to do it I think I was pretty good And Iactually enjoyed doing it not in a creepy way but you know it was ndashI guess because I was decent at it that it was a part of my job that Ienjoyed

But for myself before we went through that training I actuallybecame dehydrated and needed to get an IV myself And I wasterrified because I really hadnt had that before in my life And sothe nurse was going to come you know put the needle in my arm

and I was like No isnt there another Ill just drink a lot of water And she was saying Arent you going to be a medic And I waslike Oh I havent trained yet Dont do it So yeah

Todd Oh thats cool Yeah I was recently in the hospital and theyhad me strapped up for both blood and for the water theintravenous drip And its annoying because you cant really move

Todd Right Yeah Nobody likes that

Meg No

Todd So you transitioned You were in the medical profession andthen you moved to education Why did you leave the medicalprofession for education

Meg Yeah Thats interesting because I became a medic in themilitary because I thought after I ndash when I could continue collegethat I would be a nurse or a doctor But my time serving as a medichelped me learn that that was not what I wanted to do for my career

after all

So I definitely am glad that I had those skills and the things that Ilearned and was able to experience But I had ndash English had kind of been on the back burner And so then I said Okay let me revisitthis and it led to English education

Todd Wow Have you ever thought about being like an Englishspecialist for people in the medical fields like teaching doctors andnurses

Todd So Meg I thought we would talk alittle bit about the military Now you wereactually in the military

Meg Yes I was actually in the ArmyNational Guard So I enlisted when I was17 In America in the National Guardeach state can have kind of different rulesor different requirements And so inIndiana you can enlist when you are 17 with parentalpermission So I did that

Todd Wow Seventeen is really young age

Meg Yeah And it sort of happened really quick I mean I was a junior in high school and I got a call from a recruiter And at firstI was really against it but then in Indiana if you enlist and youserve your time theyll pay your college tuition if you go to astate college

So Indiana has Purdue and I was interested in going to Purdueanyway so it seemed like a good idea

Todd Thats fantastic So how long were you in the service

Meg I was in for six years all together That was the minimumcommitment So I could have done more but I was ready tomaybe try some other things after that time

Todd Did it go by fast

Meg Looking back it definitely did I think there are differentstages that went by slow or fast Like when I was in actual basic

training when youre in it it was super slow Like yourecounting on the hours every day because youre just desperateto finish and get out and get back to your family And I was youknow 17 so its a little different

But now looking back like I cant believe it was a full six yearsand now its so many years past that already So yeah I guessit did go by fast overall

Todd Yeah thats great So what was it like being a woman inthe military

Meg It was ndash well I served in a unit ndash I was a medic And somy unit a medical unit naturally has more women The ratio iscloser to 50-50 men and women which isnt ndash at least that timewasnt ndash I dont have the current statistics but it isnt that kind of

ratio for the Army as a whole or the military as a whole

And so for me there was ndash I was with a lot of other women alsowhen I was serving But for me personally there were definitelychallenges especially when I was first in basic training like Idefinitely felt personal pressure to try to keep up with the guysWith everything whether its you know physically being able to

lift and carry these heavy boxes and whatever You know youhave the same requirements that you have to do And younever want to be the weak link

And I think some other women maybe suffered a little morebecause they couldnt keep up quite as well And so that can bea little difficult But maybe Im naturally a bit more suited for those kinds of things So I did okay but I definitely wanted toand tried hard to keep up with the physical aspect which isnt aseasy sometimes for women

Todd Well thats interesting So you do look pretty fit so youmust have been really fit back in the day

Meg Yeah I think Yeah especially basic training becauseyoure never like not running Anytime youre walkingsomewhere youre just running running running like theymake you run everywhere And you get like 5 minutes to eatbreakfast and lunch and dinner Every time you have to eat itso fast And then youre doing all this physical training and thengoing through obstacle courses and carrying heavy packsand carrying your weapon round

Yeah So that was probably the most fit Ive ever been Imdefinitely not that now

Todd Right So if you had a daughter would you recommendthat she goes in the military or would you recommend other women to join the military

Meg I would not recommend it I guess I dont go aroundtelling everyone Oh you should just join the military But Ithink if someone ndash if there is a woman who is interested in it or thinking about it I would definitely ndash for me I mean it workedout great There are a lot of like leadership and personalcharacter qualities that I was really able to develop during mytime that have continued to benefit me now

And so for a woman who is interested I would definitely sayGo for it

Todd So Meg you are talking about being inthe military and you said you were a medicCan you explain what that is

Meg Yeah So a medic which now I believeis called health care specialist is ndash I alwayssay its kind of similar to being like aparamedic where its not a full nurse job Ithink nurses have more training like in civilianside nurses but similar to paramedic where you have certain likeminor procedures that youre trained to do and high-level thingsthan just an EMT like doing IVs and giving shots and stitches andthings like that

And youre trained ndash because its the mili tary youre especiallytrained for emergency situations and how to treat someone whohas maybe some serious life-threatening wounds So thats a medic

Todd Wow That sounds like a really difficult job I mean its notyour typical just soldier job You must have had a lot of schoolingand education

Meg I had ndash well everyone goes through the initial about two anda half months like basic training And thats more kind of basiccombat skills and physical training that kind of thing And then I hadfour months past that to train to be a medic So we went through likeemergency medical technician course just like civilian side I gotcertified with that And then we had additional training for the militaryskills like IVs and emergency procedures that kind of thing

Todd Right Can you explain what IV is

Meg IV is an intravenous ndash like getting fluids into your body So if youve been injured and youve lost a lot of blood or maybe youredehydrated and you need some fluid in your body quickly then we

stick a needle into your vein and then the fluids go in And theneedle comes back out but a little tube stays in And then you canget fluids quickly that way

Todd So anybody thats been to the doctor knows thats alwayskind of the anxious moment when the nurse or the person whosgoing to stick the needle in Were you good at doing that

Meg So once I learned how to do it I think I was pretty good And Iactually enjoyed doing it not in a creepy way but you know it was ndashI guess because I was decent at it that it was a part of my job that Ienjoyed

But for myself before we went through that training I actuallybecame dehydrated and needed to get an IV myself And I wasterrified because I really hadnt had that before in my life And sothe nurse was going to come you know put the needle in my arm

and I was like No isnt there another Ill just drink a lot of water And she was saying Arent you going to be a medic And I waslike Oh I havent trained yet Dont do it So yeah

Todd So Meg I thought we would talk alittle bit about the military Now you wereactually in the military

Meg Yes I was actually in the ArmyNational Guard So I enlisted when I was17 In America in the National Guardeach state can have kind of different rulesor different requirements And so inIndiana you can enlist when you are 17 with parentalpermission So I did that

Todd Wow Seventeen is really young age

Meg Yeah And it sort of happened really quick I mean I was a junior in high school and I got a call from a recruiter And at firstI was really against it but then in Indiana if you enlist and youserve your time theyll pay your college tuition if you go to astate college

So Indiana has Purdue and I was interested in going to Purdueanyway so it seemed like a good idea

Todd Thats fantastic So how long were you in the service

Meg I was in for six years all together That was the minimumcommitment So I could have done more but I was ready tomaybe try some other things after that time

Todd Did it go by fast

Meg Looking back it definitely did I think there are differentstages that went by slow or fast Like when I was in actual basic

training when youre in it it was super slow Like yourecounting on the hours every day because youre just desperateto finish and get out and get back to your family And I was youknow 17 so its a little different

But now looking back like I cant believe it was a full six yearsand now its so many years past that already So yeah I guessit did go by fast overall

Todd Yeah thats great So what was it like being a woman inthe military

Meg It was ndash well I served in a unit ndash I was a medic And somy unit a medical unit naturally has more women The ratio iscloser to 50-50 men and women which isnt ndash at least that timewasnt ndash I dont have the current statistics but it isnt that kind of

ratio for the Army as a whole or the military as a whole

And so for me there was ndash I was with a lot of other women alsowhen I was serving But for me personally there were definitelychallenges especially when I was first in basic training like Idefinitely felt personal pressure to try to keep up with the guysWith everything whether its you know physically being able to

lift and carry these heavy boxes and whatever You know youhave the same requirements that you have to do And younever want to be the weak link

And I think some other women maybe suffered a little morebecause they couldnt keep up quite as well And so that can bea little difficult But maybe Im naturally a bit more suited for those kinds of things So I did okay but I definitely wanted toand tried hard to keep up with the physical aspect which isnt aseasy sometimes for women

Todd Well thats interesting So you do look pretty fit so youmust have been really fit back in the day

Meg Yeah I think Yeah especially basic training becauseyoure never like not running Anytime youre walkingsomewhere youre just running running running like theymake you run everywhere And you get like 5 minutes to eatbreakfast and lunch and dinner Every time you have to eat itso fast And then youre doing all this physical training and thengoing through obstacle courses and carrying heavy packsand carrying your weapon round

Yeah So that was probably the most fit Ive ever been Imdefinitely not that now

Todd Right So if you had a daughter would you recommendthat she goes in the military or would you recommend other women to join the military

Meg I would not recommend it I guess I dont go aroundtelling everyone Oh you should just join the military But Ithink if someone ndash if there is a woman who is interested in it or thinking about it I would definitely ndash for me I mean it workedout great There are a lot of like leadership and personalcharacter qualities that I was really able to develop during mytime that have continued to benefit me now

And so for a woman who is interested I would definitely sayGo for it

1369 Women in UniformMeg talks about being a woman in the military and why shechose that path

Todd So Meg I thought we would talk alittle bit about the military Now you wereactually in the military

Meg Yes I was actually in the ArmyNational Guard So I enlisted when I was17 In America in the National Guardeach state can have kind of different rulesor different requirements And so inIndiana you can enlist when you are 17 with parentalpermission So I did that

Todd Wow Seventeen is really young age

Meg Yeah And it sort of happened really quick I mean I was a junior in high school and I got a call from a recruiter And at firstI was really against it but then in Indiana if you enlist and youserve your time theyll pay your college tuition if you go to astate college

So Indiana has Purdue and I was interested in going to Purdueanyway so it seemed like a good idea

Todd Thats fantastic So how long were you in the service

Meg I was in for six years all together That was the minimumcommitment So I could have done more but I was ready tomaybe try some other things after that time

Todd Did it go by fast

Meg Looking back it definitely did I think there are differentstages that went by slow or fast Like when I was in actual basic

training when youre in it it was super slow Like yourecounting on the hours every day because youre just desperateto finish and get out and get back to your family And I was youknow 17 so its a little different

But now looking back like I cant believe it was a full six yearsand now its so many years past that already So yeah I guessit did go by fast overall

Todd Yeah thats great So what was it like being a woman inthe military

Meg It was ndash well I served in a unit ndash I was a medic And somy unit a medical unit naturally has more women The ratio iscloser to 50-50 men and women which isnt ndash at least that timewasnt ndash I dont have the current statistics but it isnt that kind of

ratio for the Army as a whole or the military as a whole

And so for me there was ndash I was with a lot of other women alsowhen I was serving But for me personally there were definitelychallenges especially when I was first in basic training like Idefinitely felt personal pressure to try to keep up with the guysWith everything whether its you know physically being able to

lift and carry these heavy boxes and whatever You know youhave the same requirements that you have to do And younever want to be the weak link

And I think some other women maybe suffered a little morebecause they couldnt keep up quite as well And so that can bea little difficult But maybe Im naturally a bit more suited for those kinds of things So I did okay but I definitely wanted toand tried hard to keep up with the physical aspect which isnt aseasy sometimes for women

Todd Well thats interesting So you do look pretty fit so youmust have been really fit back in the day

Meg Yeah I think Yeah especially basic training becauseyoure never like not running Anytime youre walkingsomewhere youre just running running running like theymake you run everywhere And you get like 5 minutes to eatbreakfast and lunch and dinner Every time you have to eat itso fast And then youre doing all this physical training and thengoing through obstacle courses and carrying heavy packsand carrying your weapon round

Yeah So that was probably the most fit Ive ever been Imdefinitely not that now

Todd Right So if you had a daughter would you recommendthat she goes in the military or would you recommend other women to join the military

Meg I would not recommend it I guess I dont go aroundtelling everyone Oh you should just join the military But Ithink if someone ndash if there is a woman who is interested in it or thinking about it I would definitely ndash for me I mean it workedout great There are a lot of like leadership and personalcharacter qualities that I was really able to develop during mytime that have continued to benefit me now

And so for a woman who is interested I would definitely sayGo for it

Meg Yeah So a medic which now I believeis called health care specialist is ndash I alwayssay its kind of similar to being like aparamedic where its not a full nurse job Ithink nurses have more training like in civilianside nurses but similar to paramedic where you have certain likeminor procedures that youre trained to do and high-level thingsthan just an EMT like doing IVs and giving shots and stitches andthings like that

And youre trained ndash because its the mili tary youre especiallytrained for emergency situations and how to treat someone whohas maybe some serious life-threatening wounds So thats a medic

Meg I had ndash well everyone goes through the initial about two anda half months like basic training And thats more kind of basiccombat skills and physical training that kind of thing And then I hadfour months past that to train to be a medic So we went through likeemergency medical technician course just like civilian side I gotcertified with that And then we had additional training for the militaryskills like IVs and emergency procedures that kind of thing

Todd Right Can you explain what IV is

Meg IV is an intravenous ndash like getting fluids into your body So if youve been injured and youve lost a lot of blood or maybe youredehydrated and you need some fluid in your body quickly then we

stick a needle into your vein and then the fluids go in And theneedle comes back out but a little tube stays in And then you canget fluids quickly that way

Todd So anybody thats been to the doctor knows thats alwayskind of the anxious moment when the nurse or the person whosgoing to stick the needle in Were you good at doing that

Meg So once I learned how to do it I think I was pretty good And Iactually enjoyed doing it not in a creepy way but you know it was ndashI guess because I was decent at it that it was a part of my job that Ienjoyed

But for myself before we went through that training I actuallybecame dehydrated and needed to get an IV myself And I wasterrified because I really hadnt had that before in my life And sothe nurse was going to come you know put the needle in my arm

and I was like No isnt there another Ill just drink a lot of water And she was saying Arent you going to be a medic And I waslike Oh I havent trained yet Dont do it So yeah

Todd Right So what percentage of people would you say freak outwhen they get the needle

Meg Yeah Even you know tough Army guys would come in andbe ndash and theyd be like Oh Im fine Im fine in a bit Well weneed to give you an IV And theyd be like Oh

Todd Right Yeah Nobody likes that

Meg No

Todd So you transitioned You were in the medical profession andthen you moved to education Why did you leave the medicalprofession for education

Meg Yeah Thats interesting because I became a medic in themilitary because I thought after I ndash when I could continue collegethat I would be a nurse or a doctor But my time serving as a medichelped me learn that that was not what I wanted to do for my career

after all

So I definitely am glad that I had those skills and the things that Ilearned and was able to experience But I had ndash English had kind of been on the back burner And so then I said Okay let me revisitthis and it led to English education

1369 Women in UniformMeg talks about being a woman in the military and why shechose that path

Todd So Meg I thought we would talk alittle bit about the military Now you wereactually in the military

Meg Yes I was actually in the ArmyNational Guard So I enlisted when I was17 In America in the National Guardeach state can have kind of different rulesor different requirements And so inIndiana you can enlist when you are 17 with parentalpermission So I did that

Todd Wow Seventeen is really young age

Meg Yeah And it sort of happened really quick I mean I was a junior in high school and I got a call from a recruiter And at firstI was really against it but then in Indiana if you enlist and youserve your time theyll pay your college tuition if you go to astate college

So Indiana has Purdue and I was interested in going to Purdueanyway so it seemed like a good idea

Todd Thats fantastic So how long were you in the service

Meg I was in for six years all together That was the minimumcommitment So I could have done more but I was ready tomaybe try some other things after that time

Todd Did it go by fast

Meg Looking back it definitely did I think there are differentstages that went by slow or fast Like when I was in actual basic

training when youre in it it was super slow Like yourecounting on the hours every day because youre just desperateto finish and get out and get back to your family And I was youknow 17 so its a little different

But now looking back like I cant believe it was a full six yearsand now its so many years past that already So yeah I guessit did go by fast overall

Todd Yeah thats great So what was it like being a woman inthe military

Meg It was ndash well I served in a unit ndash I was a medic And somy unit a medical unit naturally has more women The ratio iscloser to 50-50 men and women which isnt ndash at least that timewasnt ndash I dont have the current statistics but it isnt that kind of

ratio for the Army as a whole or the military as a whole

And so for me there was ndash I was with a lot of other women alsowhen I was serving But for me personally there were definitelychallenges especially when I was first in basic training like Idefinitely felt personal pressure to try to keep up with the guysWith everything whether its you know physically being able to

lift and carry these heavy boxes and whatever You know youhave the same requirements that you have to do And younever want to be the weak link

And I think some other women maybe suffered a little morebecause they couldnt keep up quite as well And so that can bea little difficult But maybe Im naturally a bit more suited for those kinds of things So I did okay but I definitely wanted toand tried hard to keep up with the physical aspect which isnt aseasy sometimes for women

Todd Well thats interesting So you do look pretty fit so youmust have been really fit back in the day

Meg Yeah I think Yeah especially basic training becauseyoure never like not running Anytime youre walkingsomewhere youre just running running running like theymake you run everywhere And you get like 5 minutes to eatbreakfast and lunch and dinner Every time you have to eat itso fast And then youre doing all this physical training and thengoing through obstacle courses and carrying heavy packsand carrying your weapon round

Yeah So that was probably the most fit Ive ever been Imdefinitely not that now

Todd Right So if you had a daughter would you recommendthat she goes in the military or would you recommend other women to join the military

Meg I would not recommend it I guess I dont go aroundtelling everyone Oh you should just join the military But Ithink if someone ndash if there is a woman who is interested in it or thinking about it I would definitely ndash for me I mean it workedout great There are a lot of like leadership and personalcharacter qualities that I was really able to develop during mytime that have continued to benefit me now

And so for a woman who is interested I would definitely sayGo for it

Meg Yeah So a medic which now I believeis called health care specialist is ndash I alwayssay its kind of similar to being like aparamedic where its not a full nurse job Ithink nurses have more training like in civilianside nurses but similar to paramedic where you have certain likeminor procedures that youre trained to do and high-level thingsthan just an EMT like doing IVs and giving shots and stitches andthings like that

And youre trained ndash because its the mili tary youre especiallytrained for emergency situations and how to treat someone whohas maybe some serious life-threatening wounds So thats a medic

Todd Wow That sounds like a really difficult job I mean its notyour typical just soldier job You must have had a lot of schoolingand education

Meg I had ndash well everyone goes through the initial about two anda half months like basic training And thats more kind of basiccombat skills and physical training that kind of thing And then I hadfour months past that to train to be a medic So we went through likeemergency medical technician course just like civilian side I gotcertified with that And then we had additional training for the militaryskills like IVs and emergency procedures that kind of thing

Todd Right Can you explain what IV is

Meg IV is an intravenous ndash like getting fluids into your body So if youve been injured and youve lost a lot of blood or maybe youredehydrated and you need some fluid in your body quickly then we

stick a needle into your vein and then the fluids go in And theneedle comes back out but a little tube stays in And then you canget fluids quickly that way

Todd So anybody thats been to the doctor knows thats alwayskind of the anxious moment when the nurse or the person whosgoing to stick the needle in Were you good at doing that

Meg So once I learned how to do it I think I was pretty good And Iactually enjoyed doing it not in a creepy way but you know it was ndashI guess because I was decent at it that it was a part of my job that Ienjoyed

But for myself before we went through that training I actuallybecame dehydrated and needed to get an IV myself And I wasterrified because I really hadnt had that before in my life And sothe nurse was going to come you know put the needle in my arm

and I was like No isnt there another Ill just drink a lot of water And she was saying Arent you going to be a medic And I waslike Oh I havent trained yet Dont do it So yeah

Meg Yeah yeah Or at least you have to careful When I wasgetting the IV I didnt know that the needle doesnt stay in your armNow for some things it does For blood maybe its different Im notsure But yeah so I was trying to be so careful too but you still wantit to go well so you dont want to move very much

Todd Right So what percentage of people would you say freak outwhen they get the needle

Meg Yeah Even you know tough Army guys would come in andbe ndash and theyd be like Oh Im fine Im fine in a bit Well weneed to give you an IV And theyd be like Oh

Todd Right Yeah Nobody likes that

Meg No

Todd So you transitioned You were in the medical profession andthen you moved to education Why did you leave the medicalprofession for education

Meg Yeah Thats interesting because I became a medic in themilitary because I thought after I ndash when I could continue collegethat I would be a nurse or a doctor But my time serving as a medichelped me learn that that was not what I wanted to do for my career

after all

So I definitely am glad that I had those skills and the things that Ilearned and was able to experience But I had ndash English had kind of been on the back burner And so then I said Okay let me revisitthis and it led to English education

Todd So Meg I thought we would talk alittle bit about the military Now you wereactually in the military

Meg Yes I was actually in the ArmyNational Guard So I enlisted when I was17 In America in the National Guardeach state can have kind of different rulesor different requirements And so inIndiana you can enlist when you are 17 with parentalpermission So I did that

Todd Wow Seventeen is really young age

Meg Yeah And it sort of happened really quick I mean I was a junior in high school and I got a call from a recruiter And at firstI was really against it but then in Indiana if you enlist and youserve your time theyll pay your college tuition if you go to astate college

So Indiana has Purdue and I was interested in going to Purdueanyway so it seemed like a good idea

Todd Thats fantastic So how long were you in the service

Meg I was in for six years all together That was the minimumcommitment So I could have done more but I was ready tomaybe try some other things after that time

Todd Did it go by fast

Meg Looking back it definitely did I think there are differentstages that went by slow or fast Like when I was in actual basic

training when youre in it it was super slow Like yourecounting on the hours every day because youre just desperateto finish and get out and get back to your family And I was youknow 17 so its a little different

But now looking back like I cant believe it was a full six yearsand now its so many years past that already So yeah I guessit did go by fast overall

Todd Yeah thats great So what was it like being a woman inthe military

Meg It was ndash well I served in a unit ndash I was a medic And somy unit a medical unit naturally has more women The ratio iscloser to 50-50 men and women which isnt ndash at least that timewasnt ndash I dont have the current statistics but it isnt that kind of

ratio for the Army as a whole or the military as a whole

And so for me there was ndash I was with a lot of other women alsowhen I was serving But for me personally there were definitelychallenges especially when I was first in basic training like Idefinitely felt personal pressure to try to keep up with the guysWith everything whether its you know physically being able to

lift and carry these heavy boxes and whatever You know youhave the same requirements that you have to do And younever want to be the weak link

And I think some other women maybe suffered a little morebecause they couldnt keep up quite as well And so that can bea little difficult But maybe Im naturally a bit more suited for those kinds of things So I did okay but I definitely wanted toand tried hard to keep up with the physical aspect which isnt aseasy sometimes for women

Todd Well thats interesting So you do look pretty fit so youmust have been really fit back in the day

Meg Yeah I think Yeah especially basic training becauseyoure never like not running Anytime youre walkingsomewhere youre just running running running like theymake you run everywhere And you get like 5 minutes to eatbreakfast and lunch and dinner Every time you have to eat itso fast And then youre doing all this physical training and thengoing through obstacle courses and carrying heavy packsand carrying your weapon round

Yeah So that was probably the most fit Ive ever been Imdefinitely not that now

Todd Right So if you had a daughter would you recommendthat she goes in the military or would you recommend other women to join the military

Meg I would not recommend it I guess I dont go aroundtelling everyone Oh you should just join the military But Ithink if someone ndash if there is a woman who is interested in it or thinking about it I would definitely ndash for me I mean it workedout great There are a lot of like leadership and personalcharacter qualities that I was really able to develop during mytime that have continued to benefit me now

And so for a woman who is interested I would definitely sayGo for it

Todd So Meg you are talking about being inthe military and you said you were a medicCan you explain what that is

Meg Yeah So a medic which now I believeis called health care specialist is ndash I alwayssay its kind of similar to being like aparamedic where its not a full nurse job Ithink nurses have more training like in civilianside nurses but similar to paramedic where you have certain likeminor procedures that youre trained to do and high-level thingsthan just an EMT like doing IVs and giving shots and stitches andthings like that

And youre trained ndash because its the mili tary youre especiallytrained for emergency situations and how to treat someone whohas maybe some serious life-threatening wounds So thats a medic

Todd Wow That sounds like a really difficult job I mean its notyour typical just soldier job You must have had a lot of schoolingand education

Meg I had ndash well everyone goes through the initial about two anda half months like basic training And thats more kind of basiccombat skills and physical training that kind of thing And then I hadfour months past that to train to be a medic So we went through likeemergency medical technician course just like civilian side I gotcertified with that And then we had additional training for the militaryskills like IVs and emergency procedures that kind of thing

Todd Right Can you explain what IV is

Meg IV is an intravenous ndash like getting fluids into your body So if youve been injured and youve lost a lot of blood or maybe youredehydrated and you need some fluid in your body quickly then we

stick a needle into your vein and then the fluids go in And theneedle comes back out but a little tube stays in And then you canget fluids quickly that way

Todd So anybody thats been to the doctor knows thats alwayskind of the anxious moment when the nurse or the person whosgoing to stick the needle in Were you good at doing that

Meg So once I learned how to do it I think I was pretty good And Iactually enjoyed doing it not in a creepy way but you know it was ndashI guess because I was decent at it that it was a part of my job that Ienjoyed

But for myself before we went through that training I actuallybecame dehydrated and needed to get an IV myself And I wasterrified because I really hadnt had that before in my life And sothe nurse was going to come you know put the needle in my arm

and I was like No isnt there another Ill just drink a lot of water And she was saying Arent you going to be a medic And I waslike Oh I havent trained yet Dont do it So yeah

Todd Oh thats cool Yeah I was recently in the hospital and theyhad me strapped up for both blood and for the water theintravenous drip And its annoying because you cant really move

like if you want to get up and walk anywhere youre strapped withall these tubes And its not very convenient

Meg Yeah yeah Or at least you have to careful When I wasgetting the IV I didnt know that the needle doesnt stay in your armNow for some things it does For blood maybe its different Im notsure But yeah so I was trying to be so careful too but you still wantit to go well so you dont want to move very much

Todd Right So what percentage of people would you say freak outwhen they get the needle

Meg Probably 90 or 95

Todd Oh really

Meg Yeah Even you know tough Army guys would come in andbe ndash and theyd be like Oh Im fine Im fine in a bit Well weneed to give you an IV And theyd be like Oh

Todd Right Yeah Nobody likes that

Meg No

Todd So you transitioned You were in the medical profession andthen you moved to education Why did you leave the medicalprofession for education

Meg Yeah Thats interesting because I became a medic in themilitary because I thought after I ndash when I could continue collegethat I would be a nurse or a doctor But my time serving as a medichelped me learn that that was not what I wanted to do for my career

after all

So I definitely am glad that I had those skills and the things that Ilearned and was able to experience But I had ndash English had kind of been on the back burner And so then I said Okay let me revisitthis and it led to English education

1369 Women in UniformMeg talks about being a woman in the military and why shechose that path

Todd So Meg I thought we would talk alittle bit about the military Now you wereactually in the military

Meg Yes I was actually in the ArmyNational Guard So I enlisted when I was17 In America in the National Guardeach state can have kind of different rulesor different requirements And so inIndiana you can enlist when you are 17 with parentalpermission So I did that

Todd Wow Seventeen is really young age

Meg Yeah And it sort of happened really quick I mean I was a junior in high school and I got a call from a recruiter And at firstI was really against it but then in Indiana if you enlist and youserve your time theyll pay your college tuition if you go to astate college

So Indiana has Purdue and I was interested in going to Purdueanyway so it seemed like a good idea

Todd Thats fantastic So how long were you in the service

Meg I was in for six years all together That was the minimumcommitment So I could have done more but I was ready tomaybe try some other things after that time

Todd Did it go by fast

Meg Looking back it definitely did I think there are differentstages that went by slow or fast Like when I was in actual basic

training when youre in it it was super slow Like yourecounting on the hours every day because youre just desperateto finish and get out and get back to your family And I was youknow 17 so its a little different

But now looking back like I cant believe it was a full six yearsand now its so many years past that already So yeah I guessit did go by fast overall

Todd Yeah thats great So what was it like being a woman inthe military

Meg It was ndash well I served in a unit ndash I was a medic And somy unit a medical unit naturally has more women The ratio iscloser to 50-50 men and women which isnt ndash at least that timewasnt ndash I dont have the current statistics but it isnt that kind of

ratio for the Army as a whole or the military as a whole

And so for me there was ndash I was with a lot of other women alsowhen I was serving But for me personally there were definitelychallenges especially when I was first in basic training like Idefinitely felt personal pressure to try to keep up with the guysWith everything whether its you know physically being able to

lift and carry these heavy boxes and whatever You know youhave the same requirements that you have to do And younever want to be the weak link

And I think some other women maybe suffered a little morebecause they couldnt keep up quite as well And so that can bea little difficult But maybe Im naturally a bit more suited for those kinds of things So I did okay but I definitely wanted toand tried hard to keep up with the physical aspect which isnt aseasy sometimes for women

Todd Well thats interesting So you do look pretty fit so youmust have been really fit back in the day

Meg Yeah I think Yeah especially basic training becauseyoure never like not running Anytime youre walkingsomewhere youre just running running running like theymake you run everywhere And you get like 5 minutes to eatbreakfast and lunch and dinner Every time you have to eat itso fast And then youre doing all this physical training and thengoing through obstacle courses and carrying heavy packsand carrying your weapon round

Yeah So that was probably the most fit Ive ever been Imdefinitely not that now

Todd Right So if you had a daughter would you recommendthat she goes in the military or would you recommend other women to join the military

Meg I would not recommend it I guess I dont go aroundtelling everyone Oh you should just join the military But Ithink if someone ndash if there is a woman who is interested in it or thinking about it I would definitely ndash for me I mean it workedout great There are a lot of like leadership and personalcharacter qualities that I was really able to develop during mytime that have continued to benefit me now

And so for a woman who is interested I would definitely sayGo for it

Todd So Meg you are talking about being inthe military and you said you were a medicCan you explain what that is

Meg Yeah So a medic which now I believeis called health care specialist is ndash I alwayssay its kind of similar to being like aparamedic where its not a full nurse job Ithink nurses have more training like in civilianside nurses but similar to paramedic where you have certain likeminor procedures that youre trained to do and high-level thingsthan just an EMT like doing IVs and giving shots and stitches andthings like that

And youre trained ndash because its the mili tary youre especiallytrained for emergency situations and how to treat someone whohas maybe some serious life-threatening wounds So thats a medic

stick a needle into your vein and then the fluids go in And theneedle comes back out but a little tube stays in And then you canget fluids quickly that way

Todd So anybody thats been to the doctor knows thats alwayskind of the anxious moment when the nurse or the person whosgoing to stick the needle in Were you good at doing that

Meg So once I learned how to do it I think I was pretty good And Iactually enjoyed doing it not in a creepy way but you know it was ndashI guess because I was decent at it that it was a part of my job that Ienjoyed

But for myself before we went through that training I actuallybecame dehydrated and needed to get an IV myself And I wasterrified because I really hadnt had that before in my life And sothe nurse was going to come you know put the needle in my arm

and I was like No isnt there another Ill just drink a lot of water And she was saying Arent you going to be a medic And I waslike Oh I havent trained yet Dont do it So yeah

Todd So Meg I thought we would talk alittle bit about the military Now you wereactually in the military

Meg Yes I was actually in the ArmyNational Guard So I enlisted when I was17 In America in the National Guardeach state can have kind of different rulesor different requirements And so inIndiana you can enlist when you are 17 with parentalpermission So I did that

Todd Wow Seventeen is really young age

Meg Yeah And it sort of happened really quick I mean I was a junior in high school and I got a call from a recruiter And at firstI was really against it but then in Indiana if you enlist and youserve your time theyll pay your college tuition if you go to astate college

So Indiana has Purdue and I was interested in going to Purdueanyway so it seemed like a good idea

Todd Thats fantastic So how long were you in the service

Meg I was in for six years all together That was the minimumcommitment So I could have done more but I was ready tomaybe try some other things after that time

Todd Did it go by fast

Meg Looking back it definitely did I think there are differentstages that went by slow or fast Like when I was in actual basic

training when youre in it it was super slow Like yourecounting on the hours every day because youre just desperateto finish and get out and get back to your family And I was youknow 17 so its a little different

But now looking back like I cant believe it was a full six yearsand now its so many years past that already So yeah I guessit did go by fast overall

Todd Yeah thats great So what was it like being a woman inthe military

Meg It was ndash well I served in a unit ndash I was a medic And somy unit a medical unit naturally has more women The ratio iscloser to 50-50 men and women which isnt ndash at least that timewasnt ndash I dont have the current statistics but it isnt that kind of

ratio for the Army as a whole or the military as a whole

And so for me there was ndash I was with a lot of other women alsowhen I was serving But for me personally there were definitelychallenges especially when I was first in basic training like Idefinitely felt personal pressure to try to keep up with the guysWith everything whether its you know physically being able to

lift and carry these heavy boxes and whatever You know youhave the same requirements that you have to do And younever want to be the weak link

And I think some other women maybe suffered a little morebecause they couldnt keep up quite as well And so that can bea little difficult But maybe Im naturally a bit more suited for those kinds of things So I did okay but I definitely wanted toand tried hard to keep up with the physical aspect which isnt aseasy sometimes for women

Todd Well thats interesting So you do look pretty fit so youmust have been really fit back in the day

Meg Yeah I think Yeah especially basic training becauseyoure never like not running Anytime youre walkingsomewhere youre just running running running like theymake you run everywhere And you get like 5 minutes to eatbreakfast and lunch and dinner Every time you have to eat itso fast And then youre doing all this physical training and thengoing through obstacle courses and carrying heavy packsand carrying your weapon round

Yeah So that was probably the most fit Ive ever been Imdefinitely not that now

Todd Right So if you had a daughter would you recommendthat she goes in the military or would you recommend other women to join the military

Meg I would not recommend it I guess I dont go aroundtelling everyone Oh you should just join the military But Ithink if someone ndash if there is a woman who is interested in it or thinking about it I would definitely ndash for me I mean it workedout great There are a lot of like leadership and personalcharacter qualities that I was really able to develop during mytime that have continued to benefit me now

And so for a woman who is interested I would definitely sayGo for it

Todd So Meg you are talking about being inthe military and you said you were a medicCan you explain what that is

Meg Yeah So a medic which now I believeis called health care specialist is ndash I alwayssay its kind of similar to being like aparamedic where its not a full nurse job Ithink nurses have more training like in civilianside nurses but similar to paramedic where you have certain likeminor procedures that youre trained to do and high-level thingsthan just an EMT like doing IVs and giving shots and stitches andthings like that

And youre trained ndash because its the mili tary youre especiallytrained for emergency situations and how to treat someone whohas maybe some serious life-threatening wounds So thats a medic

Todd Wow That sounds like a really difficult job I mean its notyour typical just soldier job You must have had a lot of schoolingand education

Meg I had ndash well everyone goes through the initial about two anda half months like basic training And thats more kind of basiccombat skills and physical training that kind of thing And then I hadfour months past that to train to be a medic So we went through likeemergency medical technician course just like civilian side I gotcertified with that And then we had additional training for the militaryskills like IVs and emergency procedures that kind of thing

Todd Right Can you explain what IV is

Meg IV is an intravenous ndash like getting fluids into your body So if youve been injured and youve lost a lot of blood or maybe youredehydrated and you need some fluid in your body quickly then we

stick a needle into your vein and then the fluids go in And theneedle comes back out but a little tube stays in And then you canget fluids quickly that way

Todd So anybody thats been to the doctor knows thats alwayskind of the anxious moment when the nurse or the person whosgoing to stick the needle in Were you good at doing that

Meg So once I learned how to do it I think I was pretty good And Iactually enjoyed doing it not in a creepy way but you know it was ndashI guess because I was decent at it that it was a part of my job that Ienjoyed

But for myself before we went through that training I actuallybecame dehydrated and needed to get an IV myself And I wasterrified because I really hadnt had that before in my life And sothe nurse was going to come you know put the needle in my arm

and I was like No isnt there another Ill just drink a lot of water And she was saying Arent you going to be a medic And I waslike Oh I havent trained yet Dont do it So yeah

Meg No

Todd So you transitioned You were in the medical profession andthen you moved to education Why did you leave the medicalprofession for education

Meg Yeah Thats interesting because I became a medic in themilitary because I thought after I ndash when I could continue collegethat I would be a nurse or a doctor But my time serving as a medichelped me learn that that was not what I wanted to do for my career

Todd So Meg I thought we would talk alittle bit about the military Now you wereactually in the military

Meg Yes I was actually in the ArmyNational Guard So I enlisted when I was17 In America in the National Guardeach state can have kind of different rulesor different requirements And so inIndiana you can enlist when you are 17 with parentalpermission So I did that

Todd Wow Seventeen is really young age

Meg Yeah And it sort of happened really quick I mean I was a junior in high school and I got a call from a recruiter And at firstI was really against it but then in Indiana if you enlist and youserve your time theyll pay your college tuition if you go to astate college

So Indiana has Purdue and I was interested in going to Purdueanyway so it seemed like a good idea

Todd Thats fantastic So how long were you in the service

Meg I was in for six years all together That was the minimumcommitment So I could have done more but I was ready tomaybe try some other things after that time

Todd Did it go by fast

Meg Looking back it definitely did I think there are differentstages that went by slow or fast Like when I was in actual basic

training when youre in it it was super slow Like yourecounting on the hours every day because youre just desperateto finish and get out and get back to your family And I was youknow 17 so its a little different

But now looking back like I cant believe it was a full six yearsand now its so many years past that already So yeah I guessit did go by fast overall

Todd Yeah thats great So what was it like being a woman inthe military

Meg It was ndash well I served in a unit ndash I was a medic And somy unit a medical unit naturally has more women The ratio iscloser to 50-50 men and women which isnt ndash at least that timewasnt ndash I dont have the current statistics but it isnt that kind of

ratio for the Army as a whole or the military as a whole

And so for me there was ndash I was with a lot of other women alsowhen I was serving But for me personally there were definitelychallenges especially when I was first in basic training like Idefinitely felt personal pressure to try to keep up with the guysWith everything whether its you know physically being able to

lift and carry these heavy boxes and whatever You know youhave the same requirements that you have to do And younever want to be the weak link

And I think some other women maybe suffered a little morebecause they couldnt keep up quite as well And so that can bea little difficult But maybe Im naturally a bit more suited for those kinds of things So I did okay but I definitely wanted toand tried hard to keep up with the physical aspect which isnt aseasy sometimes for women

Todd Well thats interesting So you do look pretty fit so youmust have been really fit back in the day

Meg Yeah I think Yeah especially basic training becauseyoure never like not running Anytime youre walkingsomewhere youre just running running running like theymake you run everywhere And you get like 5 minutes to eatbreakfast and lunch and dinner Every time you have to eat itso fast And then youre doing all this physical training and thengoing through obstacle courses and carrying heavy packsand carrying your weapon round

Yeah So that was probably the most fit Ive ever been Imdefinitely not that now

Todd Right So if you had a daughter would you recommendthat she goes in the military or would you recommend other women to join the military

Meg I would not recommend it I guess I dont go aroundtelling everyone Oh you should just join the military But Ithink if someone ndash if there is a woman who is interested in it or thinking about it I would definitely ndash for me I mean it workedout great There are a lot of like leadership and personalcharacter qualities that I was really able to develop during mytime that have continued to benefit me now

And so for a woman who is interested I would definitely sayGo for it

Todd So Meg you are talking about being inthe military and you said you were a medicCan you explain what that is

Meg Yeah So a medic which now I believeis called health care specialist is ndash I alwayssay its kind of similar to being like aparamedic where its not a full nurse job Ithink nurses have more training like in civilianside nurses but similar to paramedic where you have certain likeminor procedures that youre trained to do and high-level thingsthan just an EMT like doing IVs and giving shots and stitches andthings like that

And youre trained ndash because its the mili tary youre especiallytrained for emergency situations and how to treat someone whohas maybe some serious life-threatening wounds So thats a medic

Todd Wow That sounds like a really difficult job I mean its notyour typical just soldier job You must have had a lot of schoolingand education

Meg I had ndash well everyone goes through the initial about two anda half months like basic training And thats more kind of basiccombat skills and physical training that kind of thing And then I hadfour months past that to train to be a medic So we went through likeemergency medical technician course just like civilian side I gotcertified with that And then we had additional training for the militaryskills like IVs and emergency procedures that kind of thing

Todd Right Can you explain what IV is

Meg IV is an intravenous ndash like getting fluids into your body So if youve been injured and youve lost a lot of blood or maybe youredehydrated and you need some fluid in your body quickly then we

stick a needle into your vein and then the fluids go in And theneedle comes back out but a little tube stays in And then you canget fluids quickly that way

Todd So anybody thats been to the doctor knows thats alwayskind of the anxious moment when the nurse or the person whosgoing to stick the needle in Were you good at doing that

Meg So once I learned how to do it I think I was pretty good And Iactually enjoyed doing it not in a creepy way but you know it was ndashI guess because I was decent at it that it was a part of my job that Ienjoyed

But for myself before we went through that training I actuallybecame dehydrated and needed to get an IV myself And I wasterrified because I really hadnt had that before in my life And sothe nurse was going to come you know put the needle in my arm

and I was like No isnt there another Ill just drink a lot of water And she was saying Arent you going to be a medic And I waslike Oh I havent trained yet Dont do it So yeah

Todd Oh thats cool Yeah I was recently in the hospital and theyhad me strapped up for both blood and for the water theintravenous drip And its annoying because you cant really move

Meg Yeah yeah Or at least you have to careful When I wasgetting the IV I didnt know that the needle doesnt stay in your armNow for some things it does For blood maybe its different Im notsure But yeah so I was trying to be so careful too but you still wantit to go well so you dont want to move very much

Todd Right So what percentage of people would you say freak outwhen they get the needle

Todd Right Yeah Nobody likes that

Meg No

Todd So you transitioned You were in the medical profession andthen you moved to education Why did you leave the medicalprofession for education

Meg Yeah Thats interesting because I became a medic in themilitary because I thought after I ndash when I could continue collegethat I would be a nurse or a doctor But my time serving as a medichelped me learn that that was not what I wanted to do for my career

after all

So I definitely am glad that I had those skills and the things that Ilearned and was able to experience But I had ndash English had kind of been on the back burner And so then I said Okay let me revisitthis and it led to English education

Todd Wow Have you ever thought about being like an Englishspecialist for people in the medical fields like teaching doctors andnurses

Meg I guess I havent thought about that specifically Sometimes Ithought about going back to military They do have something likeEnglish schools in the military And so I guess that would berelated Also it could be ndash yeah so that would be interestingSomething to think about

1373 Sleeping PatternsSarah and Todd share how much sleep they often get andwhat they use to wake up in the morning

Todd So Sarah lets talk about sleepHow many hours of sleep do you usuallyget every night

Sarah Usually at least eight It dependson how late I stay up but usually abouteight hours I try to get every night

Todd And you are pretty consistent likeeven on the weekends you get eight hours

Sarah Yes Even on the weekends Sleep is very important for me to feel normal and energetic

Todd Now do you need an alarm clock to wake you up or you just wake up naturally everyday

Sarah I definitely have to have an alarm clock Even though Iwake up very easily I dont wake up at a routine time easily SoI usually set two alarms and that will usually get me up

Todd Oh wow I actually have this kind of weird mental ability Ithought that everybody can do this but I found out its not thecase but I can wake up exactly at the minute I want any timeSo like if I have to get up at 543 before I go to bed I can sayOkay Get up at 543 And Ill wake up at 543 exactly

Sarah Thats amazing

Todd Yeah I dont know how ndash I guess your brain just can keeptime When I tell people this sometimes they think Oh comeon thats not true But really ever since I was a kid I could justtell myself what time I want to wake up and Ill wake up exactly

at that time

Sarah Thats really quite amazing I wish it was that way for me but its not

Todd Yeah You know whats weird ndash because I dont use alarmclocks And I cant ndash like an alarm clock ndash the idea actually Icant have a deep sleep if I know that its going to ring and wakeup like its going to jolt To me an alarm clock is like somebodythrowing cold water on you you know So yeah I dont usealarm clocks at all

Sarah Yeah Im always paranoid about being late so thatswhy I set two just in case like one doesnt go off But I can sleepanytime of the day Like it really doesnt matter what type of dayits very easy for me to fall asleep for as long as whenever So

thats why I have to have an alarm clock because I could sleep12 or 14 hours and not wake up

Todd Wow Thats like you do like sleep

1369 Women in UniformMeg talks about being a woman in the military and why shechose that path

Todd So Meg I thought we would talk alittle bit about the military Now you wereactually in the military

Meg Yes I was actually in the ArmyNational Guard So I enlisted when I was17 In America in the National Guardeach state can have kind of different rulesor different requirements And so inIndiana you can enlist when you are 17 with parentalpermission So I did that

Todd Wow Seventeen is really young age

Meg Yeah And it sort of happened really quick I mean I was a junior in high school and I got a call from a recruiter And at firstI was really against it but then in Indiana if you enlist and youserve your time theyll pay your college tuition if you go to astate college

So Indiana has Purdue and I was interested in going to Purdueanyway so it seemed like a good idea

Todd Thats fantastic So how long were you in the service

Meg I was in for six years all together That was the minimumcommitment So I could have done more but I was ready tomaybe try some other things after that time

Todd Did it go by fast

Meg Looking back it definitely did I think there are differentstages that went by slow or fast Like when I was in actual basic

training when youre in it it was super slow Like yourecounting on the hours every day because youre just desperateto finish and get out and get back to your family And I was youknow 17 so its a little different

But now looking back like I cant believe it was a full six yearsand now its so many years past that already So yeah I guessit did go by fast overall

Todd Yeah thats great So what was it like being a woman inthe military

Meg It was ndash well I served in a unit ndash I was a medic And somy unit a medical unit naturally has more women The ratio iscloser to 50-50 men and women which isnt ndash at least that timewasnt ndash I dont have the current statistics but it isnt that kind of

ratio for the Army as a whole or the military as a whole

And so for me there was ndash I was with a lot of other women alsowhen I was serving But for me personally there were definitelychallenges especially when I was first in basic training like Idefinitely felt personal pressure to try to keep up with the guysWith everything whether its you know physically being able to

lift and carry these heavy boxes and whatever You know youhave the same requirements that you have to do And younever want to be the weak link

And I think some other women maybe suffered a little morebecause they couldnt keep up quite as well And so that can bea little difficult But maybe Im naturally a bit more suited for those kinds of things So I did okay but I definitely wanted toand tried hard to keep up with the physical aspect which isnt aseasy sometimes for women

Todd Well thats interesting So you do look pretty fit so youmust have been really fit back in the day

Meg Yeah I think Yeah especially basic training becauseyoure never like not running Anytime youre walkingsomewhere youre just running running running like theymake you run everywhere And you get like 5 minutes to eatbreakfast and lunch and dinner Every time you have to eat itso fast And then youre doing all this physical training and thengoing through obstacle courses and carrying heavy packsand carrying your weapon round

Yeah So that was probably the most fit Ive ever been Imdefinitely not that now

Todd Right So if you had a daughter would you recommendthat she goes in the military or would you recommend other women to join the military

Meg I would not recommend it I guess I dont go aroundtelling everyone Oh you should just join the military But Ithink if someone ndash if there is a woman who is interested in it or thinking about it I would definitely ndash for me I mean it workedout great There are a lot of like leadership and personalcharacter qualities that I was really able to develop during mytime that have continued to benefit me now

And so for a woman who is interested I would definitely sayGo for it

Meg Yeah So a medic which now I believeis called health care specialist is ndash I alwayssay its kind of similar to being like aparamedic where its not a full nurse job Ithink nurses have more training like in civilianside nurses but similar to paramedic where you have certain likeminor procedures that youre trained to do and high-level thingsthan just an EMT like doing IVs and giving shots and stitches andthings like that

And youre trained ndash because its the mili tary youre especiallytrained for emergency situations and how to treat someone whohas maybe some serious life-threatening wounds So thats a medic

Todd Wow That sounds like a really difficult job I mean its notyour typical just soldier job You must have had a lot of schoolingand education

Meg I had ndash well everyone goes through the initial about two anda half months like basic training And thats more kind of basiccombat skills and physical training that kind of thing And then I hadfour months past that to train to be a medic So we went through likeemergency medical technician course just like civilian side I gotcertified with that And then we had additional training for the militaryskills like IVs and emergency procedures that kind of thing

Todd Right Can you explain what IV is

Meg IV is an intravenous ndash like getting fluids into your body So if youve been injured and youve lost a lot of blood or maybe youredehydrated and you need some fluid in your body quickly then we

stick a needle into your vein and then the fluids go in And theneedle comes back out but a little tube stays in And then you canget fluids quickly that way

Todd So anybody thats been to the doctor knows thats alwayskind of the anxious moment when the nurse or the person whosgoing to stick the needle in Were you good at doing that

Meg So once I learned how to do it I think I was pretty good And Iactually enjoyed doing it not in a creepy way but you know it was ndashI guess because I was decent at it that it was a part of my job that Ienjoyed

But for myself before we went through that training I actuallybecame dehydrated and needed to get an IV myself And I wasterrified because I really hadnt had that before in my life And sothe nurse was going to come you know put the needle in my arm

and I was like No isnt there another Ill just drink a lot of water And she was saying Arent you going to be a medic And I waslike Oh I havent trained yet Dont do it So yeah

Meg Yeah yeah Or at least you have to careful When I wasgetting the IV I didnt know that the needle doesnt stay in your armNow for some things it does For blood maybe its different Im notsure But yeah so I was trying to be so careful too but you still wantit to go well so you dont want to move very much

Todd Right So what percentage of people would you say freak outwhen they get the needle

Meg Yeah Even you know tough Army guys would come in andbe ndash and theyd be like Oh Im fine Im fine in a bit Well weneed to give you an IV And theyd be like Oh

Todd Right Yeah Nobody likes that

Meg No

Todd So you transitioned You were in the medical profession andthen you moved to education Why did you leave the medicalprofession for education

Meg Yeah Thats interesting because I became a medic in themilitary because I thought after I ndash when I could continue collegethat I would be a nurse or a doctor But my time serving as a medichelped me learn that that was not what I wanted to do for my career

after all

So I definitely am glad that I had those skills and the things that Ilearned and was able to experience But I had ndash English had kind of been on the back burner And so then I said Okay let me revisitthis and it led to English education

Todd Wow Have you ever thought about being like an Englishspecialist for people in the medical fields like teaching doctors andnurses

Todd So Meg I thought we would talk alittle bit about the military Now you wereactually in the military

Meg Yes I was actually in the ArmyNational Guard So I enlisted when I was17 In America in the National Guardeach state can have kind of different rulesor different requirements And so inIndiana you can enlist when you are 17 with parentalpermission So I did that

Todd Wow Seventeen is really young age

Meg Yeah And it sort of happened really quick I mean I was a junior in high school and I got a call from a recruiter And at firstI was really against it but then in Indiana if you enlist and youserve your time theyll pay your college tuition if you go to astate college

So Indiana has Purdue and I was interested in going to Purdueanyway so it seemed like a good idea

Todd Thats fantastic So how long were you in the service

Meg I was in for six years all together That was the minimumcommitment So I could have done more but I was ready tomaybe try some other things after that time

Todd Did it go by fast

Meg Looking back it definitely did I think there are differentstages that went by slow or fast Like when I was in actual basic

training when youre in it it was super slow Like yourecounting on the hours every day because youre just desperateto finish and get out and get back to your family And I was youknow 17 so its a little different

But now looking back like I cant believe it was a full six yearsand now its so many years past that already So yeah I guessit did go by fast overall

Todd Yeah thats great So what was it like being a woman inthe military

Meg It was ndash well I served in a unit ndash I was a medic And somy unit a medical unit naturally has more women The ratio iscloser to 50-50 men and women which isnt ndash at least that timewasnt ndash I dont have the current statistics but it isnt that kind of

ratio for the Army as a whole or the military as a whole

And so for me there was ndash I was with a lot of other women alsowhen I was serving But for me personally there were definitelychallenges especially when I was first in basic training like Idefinitely felt personal pressure to try to keep up with the guysWith everything whether its you know physically being able to

lift and carry these heavy boxes and whatever You know youhave the same requirements that you have to do And younever want to be the weak link

And I think some other women maybe suffered a little morebecause they couldnt keep up quite as well And so that can bea little difficult But maybe Im naturally a bit more suited for those kinds of things So I did okay but I definitely wanted toand tried hard to keep up with the physical aspect which isnt aseasy sometimes for women

Todd Well thats interesting So you do look pretty fit so youmust have been really fit back in the day

Meg Yeah I think Yeah especially basic training becauseyoure never like not running Anytime youre walkingsomewhere youre just running running running like theymake you run everywhere And you get like 5 minutes to eatbreakfast and lunch and dinner Every time you have to eat itso fast And then youre doing all this physical training and thengoing through obstacle courses and carrying heavy packsand carrying your weapon round

Yeah So that was probably the most fit Ive ever been Imdefinitely not that now

Todd Right So if you had a daughter would you recommendthat she goes in the military or would you recommend other women to join the military

Meg I would not recommend it I guess I dont go aroundtelling everyone Oh you should just join the military But Ithink if someone ndash if there is a woman who is interested in it or thinking about it I would definitely ndash for me I mean it workedout great There are a lot of like leadership and personalcharacter qualities that I was really able to develop during mytime that have continued to benefit me now

And so for a woman who is interested I would definitely sayGo for it

Todd So Meg you are talking about being inthe military and you said you were a medicCan you explain what that is

Meg Yeah So a medic which now I believeis called health care specialist is ndash I alwayssay its kind of similar to being like aparamedic where its not a full nurse job Ithink nurses have more training like in civilianside nurses but similar to paramedic where you have certain likeminor procedures that youre trained to do and high-level thingsthan just an EMT like doing IVs and giving shots and stitches andthings like that

And youre trained ndash because its the mili tary youre especiallytrained for emergency situations and how to treat someone whohas maybe some serious life-threatening wounds So thats a medic

Todd Wow That sounds like a really difficult job I mean its notyour typical just soldier job You must have had a lot of schoolingand education

Meg I had ndash well everyone goes through the initial about two anda half months like basic training And thats more kind of basiccombat skills and physical training that kind of thing And then I hadfour months past that to train to be a medic So we went through likeemergency medical technician course just like civilian side I gotcertified with that And then we had additional training for the militaryskills like IVs and emergency procedures that kind of thing

Todd Right Can you explain what IV is

Meg IV is an intravenous ndash like getting fluids into your body So if youve been injured and youve lost a lot of blood or maybe youredehydrated and you need some fluid in your body quickly then we

stick a needle into your vein and then the fluids go in And theneedle comes back out but a little tube stays in And then you canget fluids quickly that way

Todd So anybody thats been to the doctor knows thats alwayskind of the anxious moment when the nurse or the person whosgoing to stick the needle in Were you good at doing that

Meg So once I learned how to do it I think I was pretty good And Iactually enjoyed doing it not in a creepy way but you know it was ndashI guess because I was decent at it that it was a part of my job that Ienjoyed

But for myself before we went through that training I actuallybecame dehydrated and needed to get an IV myself And I wasterrified because I really hadnt had that before in my life And sothe nurse was going to come you know put the needle in my arm

and I was like No isnt there another Ill just drink a lot of water And she was saying Arent you going to be a medic And I waslike Oh I havent trained yet Dont do it So yeah

Meg No

Todd So you transitioned You were in the medical profession andthen you moved to education Why did you leave the medicalprofession for education

Meg Yeah Thats interesting because I became a medic in themilitary because I thought after I ndash when I could continue collegethat I would be a nurse or a doctor But my time serving as a medichelped me learn that that was not what I wanted to do for my career

after all

So I definitely am glad that I had those skills and the things that Ilearned and was able to experience But I had ndash English had kind of been on the back burner And so then I said Okay let me revisitthis and it led to English education

Todd So Meg I thought we would talk alittle bit about the military Now you wereactually in the military

Meg Yes I was actually in the ArmyNational Guard So I enlisted when I was17 In America in the National Guardeach state can have kind of different rulesor different requirements And so inIndiana you can enlist when you are 17 with parentalpermission So I did that

Todd Wow Seventeen is really young age

Meg Yeah And it sort of happened really quick I mean I was a junior in high school and I got a call from a recruiter And at firstI was really against it but then in Indiana if you enlist and youserve your time theyll pay your college tuition if you go to astate college

So Indiana has Purdue and I was interested in going to Purdueanyway so it seemed like a good idea

Todd Thats fantastic So how long were you in the service

Meg I was in for six years all together That was the minimumcommitment So I could have done more but I was ready tomaybe try some other things after that time

Todd Did it go by fast

Meg Looking back it definitely did I think there are differentstages that went by slow or fast Like when I was in actual basic

training when youre in it it was super slow Like yourecounting on the hours every day because youre just desperateto finish and get out and get back to your family And I was youknow 17 so its a little different

But now looking back like I cant believe it was a full six yearsand now its so many years past that already So yeah I guessit did go by fast overall

Todd Yeah thats great So what was it like being a woman inthe military

Meg It was ndash well I served in a unit ndash I was a medic And somy unit a medical unit naturally has more women The ratio iscloser to 50-50 men and women which isnt ndash at least that timewasnt ndash I dont have the current statistics but it isnt that kind of

ratio for the Army as a whole or the military as a whole

And so for me there was ndash I was with a lot of other women alsowhen I was serving But for me personally there were definitelychallenges especially when I was first in basic training like Idefinitely felt personal pressure to try to keep up with the guysWith everything whether its you know physically being able to

And I think some other women maybe suffered a little morebecause they couldnt keep up quite as well And so that can bea little difficult But maybe Im naturally a bit more suited for those kinds of things So I did okay but I definitely wanted toand tried hard to keep up with the physical aspect which isnt aseasy sometimes for women

Todd Well thats interesting So you do look pretty fit so youmust have been really fit back in the day

Meg Yeah I think Yeah especially basic training becauseyoure never like not running Anytime youre walkingsomewhere youre just running running running like theymake you run everywhere And you get like 5 minutes to eatbreakfast and lunch and dinner Every time you have to eat itso fast And then youre doing all this physical training and thengoing through obstacle courses and carrying heavy packsand carrying your weapon round

Yeah So that was probably the most fit Ive ever been Imdefinitely not that now

Todd Right So if you had a daughter would you recommendthat she goes in the military or would you recommend other women to join the military

Meg I would not recommend it I guess I dont go aroundtelling everyone Oh you should just join the military But Ithink if someone ndash if there is a woman who is interested in it or thinking about it I would definitely ndash for me I mean it workedout great There are a lot of like leadership and personalcharacter qualities that I was really able to develop during mytime that have continued to benefit me now

Todd So Meg you are talking about being inthe military and you said you were a medicCan you explain what that is

Meg Yeah So a medic which now I believeis called health care specialist is ndash I alwayssay its kind of similar to being like aparamedic where its not a full nurse job Ithink nurses have more training like in civilianside nurses but similar to paramedic where you have certain likeminor procedures that youre trained to do and high-level thingsthan just an EMT like doing IVs and giving shots and stitches andthings like that

And youre trained ndash because its the mili tary youre especiallytrained for emergency situations and how to treat someone whohas maybe some serious life-threatening wounds So thats a medic

Todd Wow That sounds like a really difficult job I mean its notyour typical just soldier job You must have had a lot of schoolingand education

Meg I had ndash well everyone goes through the initial about two anda half months like basic training And thats more kind of basiccombat skills and physical training that kind of thing And then I hadfour months past that to train to be a medic So we went through likeemergency medical technician course just like civilian side I gotcertified with that And then we had additional training for the militaryskills like IVs and emergency procedures that kind of thing

Todd Right Can you explain what IV is

Meg IV is an intravenous ndash like getting fluids into your body So if youve been injured and youve lost a lot of blood or maybe youredehydrated and you need some fluid in your body quickly then we

stick a needle into your vein and then the fluids go in And theneedle comes back out but a little tube stays in And then you canget fluids quickly that way

Todd So anybody thats been to the doctor knows thats alwayskind of the anxious moment when the nurse or the person whosgoing to stick the needle in Were you good at doing that

Meg So once I learned how to do it I think I was pretty good And Iactually enjoyed doing it not in a creepy way but you know it was ndashI guess because I was decent at it that it was a part of my job that Ienjoyed

But for myself before we went through that training I actuallybecame dehydrated and needed to get an IV myself And I wasterrified because I really hadnt had that before in my life And sothe nurse was going to come you know put the needle in my arm

and I was like No isnt there another Ill just drink a lot of water And she was saying Arent you going to be a medic And I waslike Oh I havent trained yet Dont do it So yeah

Todd Oh thats cool Yeah I was recently in the hospital and theyhad me strapped up for both blood and for the water theintravenous drip And its annoying because you cant really move

Meg Yeah yeah Or at least you have to careful When I wasgetting the IV I didnt know that the needle doesnt stay in your armNow for some things it does For blood maybe its different Im notsure But yeah so I was trying to be so careful too but you still wantit to go well so you dont want to move very much

Todd Right So what percentage of people would you say freak outwhen they get the needle

Meg Probably 90 or 95

Todd Oh really

Meg Yeah Even you know tough Army guys would come in andbe ndash and theyd be like Oh Im fine Im fine in a bit Well weneed to give you an IV And theyd be like Oh

Todd Right Yeah Nobody likes that

Meg No

Todd So you transitioned You were in the medical profession andthen you moved to education Why did you leave the medicalprofession for education

Meg Yeah Thats interesting because I became a medic in themilitary because I thought after I ndash when I could continue collegethat I would be a nurse or a doctor But my time serving as a medichelped me learn that that was not what I wanted to do for my career

after all

So I definitely am glad that I had those skills and the things that Ilearned and was able to experience But I had ndash English had kind of been on the back burner And so then I said Okay let me revisitthis and it led to English education

Todd Wow Have you ever thought about being like an Englishspecialist for people in the medical fields like teaching doctors andnurses

Todd So Meg I thought we would talk alittle bit about the military Now you wereactually in the military

Meg Yes I was actually in the ArmyNational Guard So I enlisted when I was17 In America in the National Guardeach state can have kind of different rulesor different requirements And so inIndiana you can enlist when you are 17 with parentalpermission So I did that

Todd Wow Seventeen is really young age

Meg Yeah And it sort of happened really quick I mean I was a junior in high school and I got a call from a recruiter And at firstI was really against it but then in Indiana if you enlist and youserve your time theyll pay your college tuition if you go to astate college

So Indiana has Purdue and I was interested in going to Purdueanyway so it seemed like a good idea

Todd Thats fantastic So how long were you in the service

Meg I was in for six years all together That was the minimumcommitment So I could have done more but I was ready tomaybe try some other things after that time

Todd Did it go by fast

Meg Looking back it definitely did I think there are differentstages that went by slow or fast Like when I was in actual basic

training when youre in it it was super slow Like yourecounting on the hours every day because youre just desperateto finish and get out and get back to your family And I was youknow 17 so its a little different

But now looking back like I cant believe it was a full six yearsand now its so many years past that already So yeah I guessit did go by fast overall

Todd Yeah thats great So what was it like being a woman inthe military

Meg It was ndash well I served in a unit ndash I was a medic And somy unit a medical unit naturally has more women The ratio iscloser to 50-50 men and women which isnt ndash at least that timewasnt ndash I dont have the current statistics but it isnt that kind of

ratio for the Army as a whole or the military as a whole

And so for me there was ndash I was with a lot of other women alsowhen I was serving But for me personally there were definitelychallenges especially when I was first in basic training like Idefinitely felt personal pressure to try to keep up with the guysWith everything whether its you know physically being able to

lift and carry these heavy boxes and whatever You know youhave the same requirements that you have to do And younever want to be the weak link

And I think some other women maybe suffered a little morebecause they couldnt keep up quite as well And so that can bea little difficult But maybe Im naturally a bit more suited for those kinds of things So I did okay but I definitely wanted toand tried hard to keep up with the physical aspect which isnt aseasy sometimes for women

Todd Well thats interesting So you do look pretty fit so youmust have been really fit back in the day

Meg Yeah I think Yeah especially basic training becauseyoure never like not running Anytime youre walkingsomewhere youre just running running running like theymake you run everywhere And you get like 5 minutes to eatbreakfast and lunch and dinner Every time you have to eat itso fast And then youre doing all this physical training and thengoing through obstacle courses and carrying heavy packsand carrying your weapon round

Yeah So that was probably the most fit Ive ever been Imdefinitely not that now

Todd Right So if you had a daughter would you recommendthat she goes in the military or would you recommend other women to join the military

Meg I would not recommend it I guess I dont go aroundtelling everyone Oh you should just join the military But Ithink if someone ndash if there is a woman who is interested in it or thinking about it I would definitely ndash for me I mean it workedout great There are a lot of like leadership and personalcharacter qualities that I was really able to develop during mytime that have continued to benefit me now

And so for a woman who is interested I would definitely sayGo for it

Todd So Meg you are talking about being inthe military and you said you were a medicCan you explain what that is

Meg Yeah So a medic which now I believeis called health care specialist is ndash I alwayssay its kind of similar to being like aparamedic where its not a full nurse job Ithink nurses have more training like in civilianside nurses but similar to paramedic where you have certain likeminor procedures that youre trained to do and high-level thingsthan just an EMT like doing IVs and giving shots and stitches andthings like that

And youre trained ndash because its the mili tary youre especiallytrained for emergency situations and how to treat someone whohas maybe some serious life-threatening wounds So thats a medic

Todd Wow That sounds like a really difficult job I mean its notyour typical just soldier job You must have had a lot of schoolingand education

Meg I had ndash well everyone goes through the initial about two anda half months like basic training And thats more kind of basiccombat skills and physical training that kind of thing And then I hadfour months past that to train to be a medic So we went through likeemergency medical technician course just like civilian side I gotcertified with that And then we had additional training for the militaryskills like IVs and emergency procedures that kind of thing

Todd Right Can you explain what IV is

Meg IV is an intravenous ndash like getting fluids into your body So if youve been injured and youve lost a lot of blood or maybe youredehydrated and you need some fluid in your body quickly then we

stick a needle into your vein and then the fluids go in And theneedle comes back out but a little tube stays in And then you canget fluids quickly that way

Todd So anybody thats been to the doctor knows thats alwayskind of the anxious moment when the nurse or the person whosgoing to stick the needle in Were you good at doing that

Meg So once I learned how to do it I think I was pretty good And Iactually enjoyed doing it not in a creepy way but you know it was ndashI guess because I was decent at it that it was a part of my job that Ienjoyed

But for myself before we went through that training I actuallybecame dehydrated and needed to get an IV myself And I wasterrified because I really hadnt had that before in my life And sothe nurse was going to come you know put the needle in my arm

and I was like No isnt there another Ill just drink a lot of water And she was saying Arent you going to be a medic And I waslike Oh I havent trained yet Dont do it So yeah

Todd Oh thats cool Yeah I was recently in the hospital and theyhad me strapped up for both blood and for the water theintravenous drip And its annoying because you cant really move

Meg Yeah yeah Or at least you have to careful When I wasgetting the IV I didnt know that the needle doesnt stay in your armNow for some things it does For blood maybe its different Im notsure But yeah so I was trying to be so careful too but you still wantit to go well so you dont want to move very much

Todd Right So what percentage of people would you say freak outwhen they get the needle

Todd Oh really

Meg Yeah Even you know tough Army guys would come in andbe ndash and theyd be like Oh Im fine Im fine in a bit Well weneed to give you an IV And theyd be like Oh

Todd Right Yeah Nobody likes that

Meg No

Todd So you transitioned You were in the medical profession andthen you moved to education Why did you leave the medicalprofession for education

Meg Yeah Thats interesting because I became a medic in themilitary because I thought after I ndash when I could continue collegethat I would be a nurse or a doctor But my time serving as a medichelped me learn that that was not what I wanted to do for my career

after all

So I definitely am glad that I had those skills and the things that Ilearned and was able to experience But I had ndash English had kind of been on the back burner And so then I said Okay let me revisitthis and it led to English education

Todd Wow Have you ever thought about being like an Englishspecialist for people in the medical fields like teaching doctors andnurses

Meg I guess I havent thought about that specifically Sometimes Ithought about going back to military They do have something likeEnglish schools in the military And so I guess that would berelated Also it could be ndash yeah so that would be interestingSomething to think about

Todd So Meg I thought we would talk alittle bit about the military Now you wereactually in the military

Meg Yes I was actually in the ArmyNational Guard So I enlisted when I was17 In America in the National Guardeach state can have kind of different rulesor different requirements And so inIndiana you can enlist when you are 17 with parentalpermission So I did that

Todd Wow Seventeen is really young age

Meg Yeah And it sort of happened really quick I mean I was a junior in high school and I got a call from a recruiter And at firstI was really against it but then in Indiana if you enlist and youserve your time theyll pay your college tuition if you go to astate college

So Indiana has Purdue and I was interested in going to Purdueanyway so it seemed like a good idea

Todd Thats fantastic So how long were you in the service

Meg I was in for six years all together That was the minimumcommitment So I could have done more but I was ready tomaybe try some other things after that time

Todd Did it go by fast

Meg Looking back it definitely did I think there are differentstages that went by slow or fast Like when I was in actual basic

training when youre in it it was super slow Like yourecounting on the hours every day because youre just desperateto finish and get out and get back to your family And I was youknow 17 so its a little different

But now looking back like I cant believe it was a full six yearsand now its so many years past that already So yeah I guessit did go by fast overall

Todd Yeah thats great So what was it like being a woman inthe military

Meg It was ndash well I served in a unit ndash I was a medic And somy unit a medical unit naturally has more women The ratio iscloser to 50-50 men and women which isnt ndash at least that timewasnt ndash I dont have the current statistics but it isnt that kind of

ratio for the Army as a whole or the military as a whole

And so for me there was ndash I was with a lot of other women alsowhen I was serving But for me personally there were definitelychallenges especially when I was first in basic training like Idefinitely felt personal pressure to try to keep up with the guysWith everything whether its you know physically being able to

lift and carry these heavy boxes and whatever You know youhave the same requirements that you have to do And younever want to be the weak link

And I think some other women maybe suffered a little morebecause they couldnt keep up quite as well And so that can bea little difficult But maybe Im naturally a bit more suited for those kinds of things So I did okay but I definitely wanted toand tried hard to keep up with the physical aspect which isnt aseasy sometimes for women

Todd Well thats interesting So you do look pretty fit so youmust have been really fit back in the day

Meg Yeah I think Yeah especially basic training becauseyoure never like not running Anytime youre walkingsomewhere youre just running running running like theymake you run everywhere And you get like 5 minutes to eatbreakfast and lunch and dinner Every time you have to eat itso fast And then youre doing all this physical training and thengoing through obstacle courses and carrying heavy packsand carrying your weapon round

Yeah So that was probably the most fit Ive ever been Imdefinitely not that now

Todd Right So if you had a daughter would you recommendthat she goes in the military or would you recommend other women to join the military

Meg I would not recommend it I guess I dont go aroundtelling everyone Oh you should just join the military But Ithink if someone ndash if there is a woman who is interested in it or thinking about it I would definitely ndash for me I mean it workedout great There are a lot of like leadership and personalcharacter qualities that I was really able to develop during mytime that have continued to benefit me now

And so for a woman who is interested I would definitely sayGo for it

Meg Yeah So a medic which now I believeis called health care specialist is ndash I alwayssay its kind of similar to being like aparamedic where its not a full nurse job Ithink nurses have more training like in civilianside nurses but similar to paramedic where you have certain likeminor procedures that youre trained to do and high-level thingsthan just an EMT like doing IVs and giving shots and stitches andthings like that

And youre trained ndash because its the mili tary youre especiallytrained for emergency situations and how to treat someone whohas maybe some serious life-threatening wounds So thats a medic

Meg I had ndash well everyone goes through the initial about two anda half months like basic training And thats more kind of basiccombat skills and physical training that kind of thing And then I hadfour months past that to train to be a medic So we went through likeemergency medical technician course just like civilian side I gotcertified with that And then we had additional training for the militaryskills like IVs and emergency procedures that kind of thing

Todd Right Can you explain what IV is

Meg IV is an intravenous ndash like getting fluids into your body So if youve been injured and youve lost a lot of blood or maybe youredehydrated and you need some fluid in your body quickly then we

stick a needle into your vein and then the fluids go in And theneedle comes back out but a little tube stays in And then you canget fluids quickly that way

Todd So anybody thats been to the doctor knows thats alwayskind of the anxious moment when the nurse or the person whosgoing to stick the needle in Were you good at doing that

Meg So once I learned how to do it I think I was pretty good And Iactually enjoyed doing it not in a creepy way but you know it was ndashI guess because I was decent at it that it was a part of my job that Ienjoyed

But for myself before we went through that training I actuallybecame dehydrated and needed to get an IV myself And I wasterrified because I really hadnt had that before in my life And sothe nurse was going to come you know put the needle in my arm

and I was like No isnt there another Ill just drink a lot of water And she was saying Arent you going to be a medic And I waslike Oh I havent trained yet Dont do it So yeah

Meg Yeah yeah Or at least you have to careful When I wasgetting the IV I didnt know that the needle doesnt stay in your armNow for some things it does For blood maybe its different Im notsure But yeah so I was trying to be so careful too but you still wantit to go well so you dont want to move very much

Todd Right So what percentage of people would you say freak outwhen they get the needle

Todd Right Yeah Nobody likes that

Meg No

Todd So you transitioned You were in the medical profession andthen you moved to education Why did you leave the medicalprofession for education

Meg Yeah Thats interesting because I became a medic in themilitary because I thought after I ndash when I could continue collegethat I would be a nurse or a doctor But my time serving as a medichelped me learn that that was not what I wanted to do for my career

after all

So I definitely am glad that I had those skills and the things that Ilearned and was able to experience But I had ndash English had kind of been on the back burner And so then I said Okay let me revisitthis and it led to English education

Todd So Meg I thought we would talk alittle bit about the military Now you wereactually in the military

Meg Yes I was actually in the ArmyNational Guard So I enlisted when I was17 In America in the National Guardeach state can have kind of different rulesor different requirements And so inIndiana you can enlist when you are 17 with parentalpermission So I did that

Todd Wow Seventeen is really young age

Meg Yeah And it sort of happened really quick I mean I was a junior in high school and I got a call from a recruiter And at firstI was really against it but then in Indiana if you enlist and youserve your time theyll pay your college tuition if you go to astate college

So Indiana has Purdue and I was interested in going to Purdueanyway so it seemed like a good idea

Todd Thats fantastic So how long were you in the service

Meg I was in for six years all together That was the minimumcommitment So I could have done more but I was ready tomaybe try some other things after that time

Todd Did it go by fast

Meg Looking back it definitely did I think there are differentstages that went by slow or fast Like when I was in actual basic

training when youre in it it was super slow Like yourecounting on the hours every day because youre just desperateto finish and get out and get back to your family And I was youknow 17 so its a little different

But now looking back like I cant believe it was a full six yearsand now its so many years past that already So yeah I guessit did go by fast overall

Todd Yeah thats great So what was it like being a woman inthe military

Meg It was ndash well I served in a unit ndash I was a medic And somy unit a medical unit naturally has more women The ratio iscloser to 50-50 men and women which isnt ndash at least that timewasnt ndash I dont have the current statistics but it isnt that kind of

ratio for the Army as a whole or the military as a whole

And so for me there was ndash I was with a lot of other women alsowhen I was serving But for me personally there were definitelychallenges especially when I was first in basic training like Idefinitely felt personal pressure to try to keep up with the guysWith everything whether its you know physically being able to

lift and carry these heavy boxes and whatever You know youhave the same requirements that you have to do And younever want to be the weak link

And I think some other women maybe suffered a little morebecause they couldnt keep up quite as well And so that can bea little difficult But maybe Im naturally a bit more suited for those kinds of things So I did okay but I definitely wanted toand tried hard to keep up with the physical aspect which isnt aseasy sometimes for women

Todd Well thats interesting So you do look pretty fit so youmust have been really fit back in the day

Meg Yeah I think Yeah especially basic training becauseyoure never like not running Anytime youre walkingsomewhere youre just running running running like theymake you run everywhere And you get like 5 minutes to eatbreakfast and lunch and dinner Every time you have to eat itso fast And then youre doing all this physical training and thengoing through obstacle courses and carrying heavy packsand carrying your weapon round

Yeah So that was probably the most fit Ive ever been Imdefinitely not that now

Todd Right So if you had a daughter would you recommendthat she goes in the military or would you recommend other women to join the military

Meg I would not recommend it I guess I dont go aroundtelling everyone Oh you should just join the military But Ithink if someone ndash if there is a woman who is interested in it or thinking about it I would definitely ndash for me I mean it workedout great There are a lot of like leadership and personalcharacter qualities that I was really able to develop during mytime that have continued to benefit me now

And so for a woman who is interested I would definitely sayGo for it

Todd So Meg you are talking about being inthe military and you said you were a medicCan you explain what that is

Meg Yeah So a medic which now I believeis called health care specialist is ndash I alwayssay its kind of similar to being like aparamedic where its not a full nurse job Ithink nurses have more training like in civilianside nurses but similar to paramedic where you have certain likeminor procedures that youre trained to do and high-level thingsthan just an EMT like doing IVs and giving shots and stitches andthings like that

And youre trained ndash because its the mili tary youre especiallytrained for emergency situations and how to treat someone whohas maybe some serious life-threatening wounds So thats a medic

Todd Wow That sounds like a really difficult job I mean its notyour typical just soldier job You must have had a lot of schoolingand education

Meg I had ndash well everyone goes through the initial about two anda half months like basic training And thats more kind of basiccombat skills and physical training that kind of thing And then I hadfour months past that to train to be a medic So we went through likeemergency medical technician course just like civilian side I gotcertified with that And then we had additional training for the militaryskills like IVs and emergency procedures that kind of thing

Todd Right Can you explain what IV is

Meg IV is an intravenous ndash like getting fluids into your body So if youve been injured and youve lost a lot of blood or maybe youredehydrated and you need some fluid in your body quickly then we

stick a needle into your vein and then the fluids go in And theneedle comes back out but a little tube stays in And then you canget fluids quickly that way

Todd So anybody thats been to the doctor knows thats alwayskind of the anxious moment when the nurse or the person whosgoing to stick the needle in Were you good at doing that

Meg So once I learned how to do it I think I was pretty good And Iactually enjoyed doing it not in a creepy way but you know it was ndashI guess because I was decent at it that it was a part of my job that Ienjoyed

But for myself before we went through that training I actuallybecame dehydrated and needed to get an IV myself And I wasterrified because I really hadnt had that before in my life And sothe nurse was going to come you know put the needle in my arm

and I was like No isnt there another Ill just drink a lot of water And she was saying Arent you going to be a medic And I waslike Oh I havent trained yet Dont do it So yeah

Todd Oh thats cool Yeah I was recently in the hospital and theyhad me strapped up for both blood and for the water theintravenous drip And its annoying because you cant really move

Meg Yeah yeah Or at least you have to careful When I wasgetting the IV I didnt know that the needle doesnt stay in your armNow for some things it does For blood maybe its different Im notsure But yeah so I was trying to be so careful too but you still wantit to go well so you dont want to move very much

Todd Right So what percentage of people would you say freak outwhen they get the needle

Todd Right Yeah Nobody likes that

Meg No

Todd So you transitioned You were in the medical profession andthen you moved to education Why did you leave the medicalprofession for education

Meg Yeah Thats interesting because I became a medic in themilitary because I thought after I ndash when I could continue collegethat I would be a nurse or a doctor But my time serving as a medichelped me learn that that was not what I wanted to do for my career

after all

So I definitely am glad that I had those skills and the things that Ilearned and was able to experience But I had ndash English had kind of been on the back burner And so then I said Okay let me revisitthis and it led to English education

Todd Wow Have you ever thought about being like an Englishspecialist for people in the medical fields like teaching doctors andnurses

Meg I guess I havent thought about that specifically Sometimes Ithought about going back to military They do have something likeEnglish schools in the military And so I guess that would berelated Also it could be ndash yeah so that would be interestingSomething to think about

Todd So Meg I thought we would talk alittle bit about the military Now you wereactually in the military

Meg Yes I was actually in the ArmyNational Guard So I enlisted when I was17 In America in the National Guardeach state can have kind of different rulesor different requirements And so inIndiana you can enlist when you are 17 with parentalpermission So I did that

Todd Wow Seventeen is really young age

Meg Yeah And it sort of happened really quick I mean I was a junior in high school and I got a call from a recruiter And at firstI was really against it but then in Indiana if you enlist and youserve your time theyll pay your college tuition if you go to astate college

So Indiana has Purdue and I was interested in going to Purdueanyway so it seemed like a good idea

Todd Thats fantastic So how long were you in the service

Meg I was in for six years all together That was the minimumcommitment So I could have done more but I was ready tomaybe try some other things after that time

Todd Did it go by fast

Meg Looking back it definitely did I think there are differentstages that went by slow or fast Like when I was in actual basic

training when youre in it it was super slow Like yourecounting on the hours every day because youre just desperateto finish and get out and get back to your family And I was youknow 17 so its a little different

But now looking back like I cant believe it was a full six yearsand now its so many years past that already So yeah I guessit did go by fast overall

Todd Yeah thats great So what was it like being a woman inthe military

Meg It was ndash well I served in a unit ndash I was a medic And somy unit a medical unit naturally has more women The ratio iscloser to 50-50 men and women which isnt ndash at least that timewasnt ndash I dont have the current statistics but it isnt that kind of

ratio for the Army as a whole or the military as a whole

And so for me there was ndash I was with a lot of other women alsowhen I was serving But for me personally there were definitelychallenges especially when I was first in basic training like Idefinitely felt personal pressure to try to keep up with the guysWith everything whether its you know physically being able to

lift and carry these heavy boxes and whatever You know youhave the same requirements that you have to do And younever want to be the weak link

And I think some other women maybe suffered a little morebecause they couldnt keep up quite as well And so that can bea little difficult But maybe Im naturally a bit more suited for those kinds of things So I did okay but I definitely wanted toand tried hard to keep up with the physical aspect which isnt aseasy sometimes for women

Todd Well thats interesting So you do look pretty fit so youmust have been really fit back in the day

Meg Yeah I think Yeah especially basic training becauseyoure never like not running Anytime youre walkingsomewhere youre just running running running like theymake you run everywhere And you get like 5 minutes to eatbreakfast and lunch and dinner Every time you have to eat itso fast And then youre doing all this physical training and thengoing through obstacle courses and carrying heavy packsand carrying your weapon round

Yeah So that was probably the most fit Ive ever been Imdefinitely not that now

Todd Right So if you had a daughter would you recommendthat she goes in the military or would you recommend other women to join the military

Meg I would not recommend it I guess I dont go aroundtelling everyone Oh you should just join the military But Ithink if someone ndash if there is a woman who is interested in it or thinking about it I would definitely ndash for me I mean it workedout great There are a lot of like leadership and personalcharacter qualities that I was really able to develop during mytime that have continued to benefit me now

And so for a woman who is interested I would definitely sayGo for it

Meg Yeah So a medic which now I believeis called health care specialist is ndash I alwayssay its kind of similar to being like aparamedic where its not a full nurse job Ithink nurses have more training like in civilianside nurses but similar to paramedic where you have certain likeminor procedures that youre trained to do and high-level thingsthan just an EMT like doing IVs and giving shots and stitches andthings like that

And youre trained ndash because its the mili tary youre especiallytrained for emergency situations and how to treat someone whohas maybe some serious life-threatening wounds So thats a medic

Meg I had ndash well everyone goes through the initial about two anda half months like basic training And thats more kind of basiccombat skills and physical training that kind of thing And then I hadfour months past that to train to be a medic So we went through likeemergency medical technician course just like civilian side I gotcertified with that And then we had additional training for the militaryskills like IVs and emergency procedures that kind of thing

Todd Right Can you explain what IV is

Meg IV is an intravenous ndash like getting fluids into your body So if youve been injured and youve lost a lot of blood or maybe youredehydrated and you need some fluid in your body quickly then we

stick a needle into your vein and then the fluids go in And theneedle comes back out but a little tube stays in And then you canget fluids quickly that way

Todd So anybody thats been to the doctor knows thats alwayskind of the anxious moment when the nurse or the person whosgoing to stick the needle in Were you good at doing that

Meg So once I learned how to do it I think I was pretty good And Iactually enjoyed doing it not in a creepy way but you know it was ndashI guess because I was decent at it that it was a part of my job that Ienjoyed

But for myself before we went through that training I actuallybecame dehydrated and needed to get an IV myself And I wasterrified because I really hadnt had that before in my life And sothe nurse was going to come you know put the needle in my arm

and I was like No isnt there another Ill just drink a lot of water And she was saying Arent you going to be a medic And I waslike Oh I havent trained yet Dont do it So yeah

Meg Yeah And it sort of happened really quick I mean I was a junior in high school and I got a call from a recruiter And at firstI was really against it but then in Indiana if you enlist and youserve your time theyll pay your college tuition if you go to astate college

So Indiana has Purdue and I was interested in going to Purdueanyway so it seemed like a good idea

Todd Thats fantastic So how long were you in the service

Meg I was in for six years all together That was the minimumcommitment So I could have done more but I was ready tomaybe try some other things after that time

Todd Did it go by fast

Meg Looking back it definitely did I think there are differentstages that went by slow or fast Like when I was in actual basic

training when youre in it it was super slow Like yourecounting on the hours every day because youre just desperateto finish and get out and get back to your family And I was youknow 17 so its a little different

But now looking back like I cant believe it was a full six yearsand now its so many years past that already So yeah I guessit did go by fast overall

Todd Yeah thats great So what was it like being a woman inthe military

Meg It was ndash well I served in a unit ndash I was a medic And somy unit a medical unit naturally has more women The ratio iscloser to 50-50 men and women which isnt ndash at least that timewasnt ndash I dont have the current statistics but it isnt that kind of

ratio for the Army as a whole or the military as a whole

And so for me there was ndash I was with a lot of other women alsowhen I was serving But for me personally there were definitelychallenges especially when I was first in basic training like Idefinitely felt personal pressure to try to keep up with the guysWith everything whether its you know physically being able to

lift and carry these heavy boxes and whatever You know youhave the same requirements that you have to do And younever want to be the weak link

And I think some other women maybe suffered a little morebecause they couldnt keep up quite as well And so that can bea little difficult But maybe Im naturally a bit more suited for those kinds of things So I did okay but I definitely wanted toand tried hard to keep up with the physical aspect which isnt aseasy sometimes for women

Todd Well thats interesting So you do look pretty fit so youmust have been really fit back in the day

Meg Yeah I think Yeah especially basic training becauseyoure never like not running Anytime youre walkingsomewhere youre just running running running like theymake you run everywhere And you get like 5 minutes to eatbreakfast and lunch and dinner Every time you have to eat itso fast And then youre doing all this physical training and thengoing through obstacle courses and carrying heavy packsand carrying your weapon round

Yeah So that was probably the most fit Ive ever been Imdefinitely not that now

Todd Right So if you had a daughter would you recommendthat she goes in the military or would you recommend other women to join the military

Meg I would not recommend it I guess I dont go aroundtelling everyone Oh you should just join the military But Ithink if someone ndash if there is a woman who is interested in it or thinking about it I would definitely ndash for me I mean it workedout great There are a lot of like leadership and personalcharacter qualities that I was really able to develop during mytime that have continued to benefit me now

And so for a woman who is interested I would definitely sayGo for it

Todd Wow That sounds like a really difficult job I mean its notyour typical just soldier job You must have had a lot of schoolingand education

Meg I had ndash well everyone goes through the initial about two anda half months like basic training And thats more kind of basiccombat skills and physical training that kind of thing And then I hadfour months past that to train to be a medic So we went through likeemergency medical technician course just like civilian side I gotcertified with that And then we had additional training for the militaryskills like IVs and emergency procedures that kind of thing

Todd Right Can you explain what IV is

Meg IV is an intravenous ndash like getting fluids into your body So if youve been injured and youve lost a lot of blood or maybe youredehydrated and you need some fluid in your body quickly then we

stick a needle into your vein and then the fluids go in And theneedle comes back out but a little tube stays in And then you canget fluids quickly that way

Todd So anybody thats been to the doctor knows thats alwayskind of the anxious moment when the nurse or the person whosgoing to stick the needle in Were you good at doing that

Meg So once I learned how to do it I think I was pretty good And Iactually enjoyed doing it not in a creepy way but you know it was ndashI guess because I was decent at it that it was a part of my job that Ienjoyed

But for myself before we went through that training I actuallybecame dehydrated and needed to get an IV myself And I wasterrified because I really hadnt had that before in my life And sothe nurse was going to come you know put the needle in my arm

and I was like No isnt there another Ill just drink a lot of water And she was saying Arent you going to be a medic And I waslike Oh I havent trained yet Dont do it So yeah

Todd Oh thats cool Yeah I was recently in the hospital and theyhad me strapped up for both blood and for the water theintravenous drip And its annoying because you cant really move

Todd Right So what percentage of people would you say freak outwhen they get the needle

Meg Probably 90 or 95

Todd Oh really

Meg Yeah Even you know tough Army guys would come in andbe ndash and theyd be like Oh Im fine Im fine in a bit Well weneed to give you an IV And theyd be like Oh

Todd Right Yeah Nobody likes that

Meg No

Todd So you transitioned You were in the medical profession andthen you moved to education Why did you leave the medicalprofession for education

Meg Yeah Thats interesting because I became a medic in themilitary because I thought after I ndash when I could continue collegethat I would be a nurse or a doctor But my time serving as a medichelped me learn that that was not what I wanted to do for my career

after all

So I definitely am glad that I had those skills and the things that Ilearned and was able to experience But I had ndash English had kind of been on the back burner And so then I said Okay let me revisitthis and it led to English education

Todd So Meg you are talking about being inthe military and you said you were a medicCan you explain what that is

Meg Yeah So a medic which now I believeis called health care specialist is ndash I alwayssay its kind of similar to being like aparamedic where its not a full nurse job Ithink nurses have more training like in civilianside nurses but similar to paramedic where you have certain likeminor procedures that youre trained to do and high-level thingsthan just an EMT like doing IVs and giving shots and stitches andthings like that

And youre trained ndash because its the mili tary youre especiallytrained for emergency situations and how to treat someone whohas maybe some serious life-threatening wounds So thats a medic

Todd Wow That sounds like a really difficult job I mean its notyour typical just soldier job You must have had a lot of schoolingand education

Meg I had ndash well everyone goes through the initial about two anda half months like basic training And thats more kind of basiccombat skills and physical training that kind of thing And then I hadfour months past that to train to be a medic So we went through likeemergency medical technician course just like civilian side I gotcertified with that And then we had additional training for the militaryskills like IVs and emergency procedures that kind of thing

Todd Right Can you explain what IV is

Meg IV is an intravenous ndash like getting fluids into your body So if youve been injured and youve lost a lot of blood or maybe youredehydrated and you need some fluid in your body quickly then we

stick a needle into your vein and then the fluids go in And theneedle comes back out but a little tube stays in And then you canget fluids quickly that way

Todd So anybody thats been to the doctor knows thats alwayskind of the anxious moment when the nurse or the person whosgoing to stick the needle in Were you good at doing that

Meg So once I learned how to do it I think I was pretty good And Iactually enjoyed doing it not in a creepy way but you know it was ndashI guess because I was decent at it that it was a part of my job that Ienjoyed

But for myself before we went through that training I actuallybecame dehydrated and needed to get an IV myself And I wasterrified because I really hadnt had that before in my life And sothe nurse was going to come you know put the needle in my arm

and I was like No isnt there another Ill just drink a lot of water And she was saying Arent you going to be a medic And I waslike Oh I havent trained yet Dont do it So yeah

Todd Oh thats cool Yeah I was recently in the hospital and theyhad me strapped up for both blood and for the water theintravenous drip And its annoying because you cant really move

6 My arm is up to the machine

like if you want to get up and walk anywhere youre strapped withall these tubes And its not very convenient

Meg Yeah yeah Or at least you have to careful When I wasgetting the IV I didnt know that the needle doesnt stay in your armNow for some things it does For blood maybe its different Im notsure But yeah so I was trying to be so careful too but you still wantit to go well so you dont want to move very much

Todd Right So what percentage of people would you say freak outwhen they get the needle

Meg Probably 90 or 95

Todd Oh really

Meg Yeah Even you know tough Army guys would come in andbe ndash and theyd be like Oh Im fine Im fine in a bit Well weneed to give you an IV And theyd be like Oh

Todd Right Yeah Nobody likes that

Meg No

Todd So you transitioned You were in the medical profession andthen you moved to education Why did you leave the medicalprofession for education

Meg Yeah Thats interesting because I became a medic in themilitary because I thought after I ndash when I could continue collegethat I would be a nurse or a doctor But my time serving as a medichelped me learn that that was not what I wanted to do for my career

after all

So I definitely am glad that I had those skills and the things that Ilearned and was able to experience But I had ndash English had kind of been on the back burner And so then I said Okay let me revisitthis and it led to English education

Todd Wow Have you ever thought about being like an Englishspecialist for people in the medical fields like teaching doctors andnurses

Meg I guess I havent thought about that specifically Sometimes Ithought about going back to military They do have something likeEnglish schools in the military And so I guess that would berelated Also it could be ndash yeah so that would be interestingSomething to think about
