If you’re the proud spouse of an active-duty servicemember, you know that moving from state to state, as needed, is part of their job. And sometimes, starting over is tough – especially if you contribute to your family’s financial stability.  But what if you could maintain a fulfilling career, no matter where you moved? If that sounds like a plan to you, consider a career as a professional medical transcriptionist.

Medical transcription involves interpreting oral dictations from doctors and other health care professionals into accurate data for patient medical records. Doctors speak into a tape recorder and the recordings are typically sent to a transcriptionist via the Internet. So no mater where your spouse is stationed, you can complete your transcription work as long as you have an Internet connection.

  • (New Times San Luis Obispo) – There are fights, and then there are fights. During World War II, Filipino soldiers fought alongside their U.S. counterparts against Japanese invaders, sharing the same fears, fights, and fates as part of a guerrilla resistance.

It was in World War II and during “The Blitz” which was the sustained bombing of Great Britain by Nazi Germany between September 1940 and May 1941 that “Meals on Wheels” was born. In London alone a million houses were destroyed or damaged and over 50,000 innocent men, women and children lost their lives. Many people who had lost everything including their homes lost the ability to cook food for themselves. That is where the Women’s Volunteer Service for Civil Defence, (WVS, later known as WRVS), provided food for these people.

The “Meals on Wheels” name originated and was derived from the Women’s Volunteer Service related activities of bringing meals to servicemen in the war. Today, the evolution of “Meals on Wheels” into the modern day programmes that deliver mostly to the housebound elderly for free or with donations started with the concept of delivering meals to those unable to prepare their own meals in the war.

In 1947, after World War II in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, England, “Meals on Wheels” very first home delivery was made by the Women’s Volunteer Service. To keep the meals warm in transit WVS in the early days used straw bales, blankets and even old felt hats and many early services used old prams (baby carriages) to transport the meals.
