Mustang Marine. Recalled twice.
After September 11th, Gene Redding was recalled to active duty from the Individual Ready Reserve on one working day's notice. In Afghanistan he lived with the Northern Alliance, wore civilian clothes, grew a beard, and traveled the country with only an interpreter. Back home, his pregnant wife, a registered nurse, kept working, ran the household alone with a seven-year-old, and delivered their baby while he was gone. A year later he was recalled again, to Iraq with the 1st Marine Division. With an infant and an eight-year-old, she kept working as a nurse.
From that, and decades in financial services, came the Financial 9 Line. It gives the spouse at home the information, access, and authority to run the household during deployment. So when problems arise, the spouse at home can spend less time looking and more time solving.
The book is out now
It can happen to any military family separated by deployment.
A spouse at home got locked out of the bank account.
Online access denied. Then the branch refused the POA.
And that is one surprise.
A bill sent to the wrong inbox. An overdrawn autopay. A sick child and no backup childcare.
This couple felt ready.
They followed a checklist.
Every box checked. Still locked out.
They needed a 9 Line. A Financial 9 Line.
The checklist was helpful. A checkbox has room for a yes; each of the nine Lines has room for the answer.
Gene used the medevac 9-line in Iraq, adapted the concept for his retirement clients, then refined it over years of real cases.
Three simple steps.
