As a gulf war illness advocate, I recently had my fifth opportunity to serve as a consumer reviewer to evaluate research applications submitted to the Gulf War Illness Research Program (GWIRP) sponsored by the Department of Defense. I was nominated by Pandora Org, a 501(c)(3) charity that advocates for and supports patients with NEIDs (neuro-endocrine-immune disorders) such as ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia, chronic Lyme disease, Gulf War Illness (GWI), andothers. As a consumer reviewer, I was a full voting member, along with prominent scientists, at meetings to help determine how the $100 million appropriated by Congress for Fiscal Years 2013 (FY13), FY14, FY15, FY16, and FY17 would be spent on future GWI research.Consumer reviewers represent the collective view of GWI patients, family members, and persons at risk for the disease as we evaluate the impact of each application. As a consumer reviewer, this was my fifth opportunity to sit on a panel. Each time I have been impressed with the range of research being proposed, and with the caliber of scientists and medical practitioners who sat on the panels with me. I’ve also been happily surprised by how seriously these distinguished scientists take the input of the consumer reviewers, as we provide the shared experiences lived by those suffering from the illness and our families. It is a good feeling to know those most affected by GWI have a real impact on the research being done to help find the cause and cure for the illness.You can get more information on the Gulf War Illness Research Program, including how to serve as a consumer reviewer, on the CDMRP Web site: http://cdmrp.army.mil.

The ultimate goal is for our research to contribute in some way to making the world a better, healthier place. We want to create a scholar-practitioner driven center of excellence in applied healthcare research. Our research will NOT be clinical. Instead, it will focus on the business, data analytics, management, operations, and strategic dimension of the healthcare and lifescience sectors. We will pursue practical, relevant, and timely research.

I was elected to serve on the Board of Directors based on my interests and involvement with Gulf War Illness. PANDORA Org's mission is Improving the lives of neuro-endocrine-immune patients through assistance, advocacy, education and awareness. Gulf War Illness is a neuro-endocrine-immune disorder (NEIDs) similar to myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), fibromyalgia (FM), chronic tick-borne infections (Lyme and others), and multiple chemical sensitivities/environmental illness. Through my work on the Board, I hope to engage Maryland's political and medical communities to help ingrain NEIDs awareness and activity throughout the state. NEIDs are difficult problems for most clinical practitioners, but through training and awareness PANDORA org can help current and future medical providers better understand and recognize these diseases. I also hope to encourage Maryland hospitals and physicians to consider establishing an NEI Center in the state. This center would be a place for patients with suspected NEIDs to obtain medical care from NEIDs-trained providers in an environment of care and compassion.

Arlington, Virginia, Us

In my 21 years, I served from the lowest enlisted rank of Private (E1) to the highest enlisted grade of E9 as a Sergeant Major/Command Sergeant Major(Designee). Although my specialty was in communications security, my field was connected with the Army Security Agency (ASA), which quickly connected me to the Intelligence world. My first assignment, unlike much of ASA, though, was in direct tactical support of the 172nd Infantry Brigade (Arctic)(Light) in Alaska, followed by a similar assignment to the ASA Detachment at the 7th Infantry Division, Fort Ord, CA. After this, my pattern changed to the ASA School at Ft. Devens, a NATO detachment in the Netherlands, an INSCOM tactical Brigade in NJ, then NSA in Maryland. While there I was tasked to represent the NSA to US Central Command HQ in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia during Operations DESERT SHIELD and DESERT STORM. After my exciting time in the sands of the desert, I returned home for only a few months before my next assignment.I found myself next in a strategic INSCOM Brigade, the 501st in Yongsan, Republic of Korea. Although not happy at first about an unaccompanied tour so soon after a combat tour, it turned out to be an extremely interesting and rewarding job. I learned to speak Korean and learned another intelligence discipline about which I had known little prior to this assignment.I returned to Maryland as a Battalion Sergeant Major in the 902nd MI Group, formerly known as the CONUS MI Group, which I had avoided my entire career! As an E9, though, it was a great job for me, and I wound up as part of an awesome leadership team - one of the two best I served with my entire time in the Army!I retired as a SGM, even though I was in a Battalion Sergeant Major position the final two years of my career as a CSM(D). I had one of only a few Army battalions authorized a SGM instead of a CSM, which changed about 8 months after I retired! I would not change a thing, though, as it was a great 21 years!
