#38 | Kristina Wong | Correspondent Covering Pentagon & National Security
Kristina is motivated and high-energy; perfect combination to keep up with the DoD/military staff she covers. Kristina penned the recent article Viking Fitness: Enlisted Military Leaders ‘Validate their Credentials’. The article shed a spotlight on the Nation’s top senior leaders training to fight; respect is earned when you lead with actions. We go into how Kristina started her career and how she ended up covering hot topics all over the world.
From the article: “Under the worst conditions my sailors, soldiers, airmen, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen will have to perform. So let me make them, train them, give them sets and reps at performing at that level which would be the worst day of their lives so that they’re prepared for that,” he added. “Chances are, if we are prepared for that, we will never have to execute.” -Army Command Sgt. Maj. John Troxell, the top senior enlisted officer in the U.S. military
