Revival of GALAXY N3WS RADIO

I am reviving my blog that has been used for various reasons and shenanigans. 

 The reason for the revival is:

I have been accepted to serve in Americorps NCCC FEMA Corps.

I will be serving the South West Region, based out of Denver, Colorado, and serving from February '13 to December '13.

Here is an explanation of what FEMA Corps is from a fellow FEMA Corps blogger:
  • The Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) joined forces to establish a FEMA-devoted division of 1,600 service corps members within AmeriCorps’ National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC) solely dedicated to disaster readiness, response, and recovery. 
  • FEMA Corps members serve a 10-month term, with an option to apply for a second 10-month term of service. NCCC- FEMA Corps is a full-time, team-based, residential service program for men and women between the age of 18 to 24, operated in the same campus structure as AmeriCorps NCCC. FEMA Corps members are assigned to one of five NCCC campuses, located in Denver, Colorado; Sacramento, California; Perry Point, Maryland; Vicksburg, Mississippi; and Vinton, Iowa. FEMA Corps members receive a living allowance of approximately $4,000 for the 10 months of service (about $200 every two weeks before taxes), housing, meals, limited medical benefits, up to $400 a month for childcare, if necessary, member uniforms, and a Segal AmeriCorps Education Award upon successful completion of the program. 
  • FEMA Corps members are national service participants and will provide support in areas ranging from working directly with disaster survivors to supporting disaster recovery centers to sharing valuable disaster readiness and mitigation information with the public.
