In July 2009, less than two weeks before I was set to get out of the military, I got a call from Colonel Mike Bell, Director of the Commander’s Initiatives Group at U.S. Central Command in Tampa, Florida. He said, “General Petraeus reviewed your file and he’d like to bring you on the team as a speechwriter. He thinks it would be ideal if you could write for him in uniform. Would you be willing to stay in the Navy for the job?”
