PTSD Study of Twins

http://www.martinos.org/shinlab/

My twin and I just participated in this research and we are the 'youngest' to have done so.  All the others were Viet Nam veterans with twins. Basically, Massachusetts General Hospital has been doing a long term research project on PTSD.  They have made several strides in identifying and treating PTSD by doing in-depth studies on twins: one who has been in combat and one who hasn't.  They are looking for a lot more folks to continue the research.  They pay for the trip to Boston and pay for the time of the participants.  Hopefully we have some in the career field who can help out all vets by contributing to the research.  If there are any questions, interested parties can feel free to contact me directly at daniel.kaster@us.af.mil.

Thanks,

"True Leadership: Leadership Lessons Inspired by the Apostle Paul"

"Leadership is influence. Leadership is making things happen. Leadership is about influencing people toward accomplishing an objective or task. Good leadership means the followers 'want' to do what the leader wants them to do. Leadership is inspiring people to do more than they think they can. True leadership encapsulates all that is good about leadership. True leadership glorifies God, edifies others, and builds His Kingdom."

And so begins "True Leadership: Leadership Lessons Inspired by the Apostle Paul", a new book released by Vinnie Venturella.

Venturella is the incoming Chair of the Board of Directors for the Fayetteville Regional Chamber, and sits currently on the board as chair of the Finance Committee. The retired Air Force Chief Master Sergeant also works for First Citizens Bank on Fort Bragg.
