The petition I started regarding these brave fellow citizens not being covered by health insurance (similar to federal firefighters, remember?) is gaining traction, and I'm receiving inquiries from several outlets. Here's my OP about it:

Do you know any Reservists or family members of Reservists who may be willing to interact publicly about this issue? My FEMA friend is hesitant to say anything publicly, for fear of being blackballed.

She is checking with External Affairs, however, to see if they can work with me in helping the issue gain attention. The federal firefighter petition was started by one of the firefighters, and people feel that helped it go viral.

If you haven't signed and/or shared the petition yet, please do!

Shoutout to FEMA Region IV.

I think they've got our backs in the Southeast, if Rmoney is not elected. I trust these people. They need our support and higher pay and benefits. Their job will not be getting easier with climate change.
