He reported his findings to the Department of Defense and is pleased to have seen some training changes take place. “I actually saw some positive outcomes,” Hrivnak said. He still gets emails now and again from people who served in Iraq. One stands out in his mind. A Belgium medic who was embedded with a unit told him

I still follow that stuff avidly,” Youtz says. “I wanted to be a philosopher, I wanted be a historian, I love anthropology, of course I have no formal training in any of these. “Music just kept pulling me back.” “My music is essentially dramatic, it’s story telling.
