The Tactical Journey I moved to Virginia in October, 2008, to work in Rosslyn. This was my initiation to the Marine Corps Marathon as I watched all the signage go up. The “Family Link-Up” and letters of the alphabet would line the building where I worked. From then on, I would count the number of

I went to download my contact list for use in my shiny new CRM tool (more on that later), and the “download archive” button never became enabled.
