b"Sapphire Pavilion by Dave Grogan\\n\\nPreviously a Navy Judge Advocate, Dave Grogan has had his fair share of court-martial cases for which he prosecuted and defended. He\\u2019d gone to many places and shook hands with people from all walks of life. Now, he weaves history, international intrigue, and military experiences into the Steve Stillwell legal thriller series published by Camel Press.\\n\\nThe Cohen Veterans Network, a not-for-profit philanthropic organization, was created to serve them by providing high-quality, accessible, and integrated mental health care.\\n\\n\\u201cI got to do stuff that other attorneys can only dream about doing.\\u201d - Dave Grogan\\n\\nDave Grogan - The Beginnings of a JAG Journey\\n\\nHe was a CPA and on his second year in law school, bound for the corporate track, when Dave ran into a Navy student in a party. He remembers being regaled by stories of deployment in the Mediterranean as part of USS America, something that Dave has always wanted to do.\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\n\\u201cI never thought you could be a lawyer and a naval officer at the same time.\\u201d - Dave Grogan\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\nHe changed courses and switched his background to apply to the Navy. His initial goal was to serve for three years, get back out, and go to corporate law. At the back of his head, he knew he\\u2019d continue his service as long as he enjoyed it, and enjoy it he did.\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\nDave got assigned to the naval base in Yokosuka, Japan, prosecuting and defending court-martials. He went back to the US and interviewed for companies. But he never cashed in on his initial plans.\\n\\nGusto.\\xa0It's time to tame the chaos of payroll, benefits, and HR.\\n\\nCommitting to the Navy\\n\\nDuring those days when he went back to the US, Dave remembers talking to his wife while he looked over Tokyo Bay. It was at that moment of being away from home and being treated with a cosmic view of where he stood in life that Dave decided to shelve the original game plan.\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\n\\u201cI thought, \\u2018Why in the world would I get out and go back and sit in an office back in the States?\\u2019\\u201d - Dave Grogan\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\nWith his decision to stay in the army, he got deployed to Cuba and the Persian Gulf. He got sent back to the US to get a Master\\u2019s degree on international law, which opened a myriad of opportunities for his career. His exposure as the adviser of commanders, both on national and international level, contributed to a lot of the ideas that inspired his writing Sapphire Pavilion.\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\nJAG Turned Writer\\n\\nWhile he was on his last tour as part of the Pentagon, the idea for his second book occurred to Dave. Every Friday night when he would drive back home from work, he listened to a podcast on veterans.\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\n\\u201cI remember listening to some stories, in particular about the Vietnam war and some Vietnam veterans... and I came up with the idea of writing a story that would attempt to honor Vietnam veterans and also wounded warriors.\\u201d - Dave Grogan\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\nDon\\u2019t forget to leave us a 5-star rating and review if you enjoyed the show.
