This week we hear from Cecily Roland, a 22 year retiree from the Air Force Reserves and Air national Guard. She discusses her career as a surgical tech and medic while relocating bases through BRAC (Base Realignment and Closing). Although she is retired from the Air Force Guard as well as her civilian career, she continues to spend time in many veteran activities. She describes several different organizations in the Chicagoland area which offer free activities for veterans. These activities and opportunities help her stay active and allow her to meet new people and make friends.
