Capt Walker D. Mills, USMC, "Professional Writing for Junior Officers (Or Anybody!)"

This episode introduces the last of our new cadre of #TeamKrulak Non-Resident Fellows, Capt Walker Mills, USMC. Capt Mills is a U.S. Marine Corps infantry officer serving as an exchange officer in Cartagena, Colombia and is the 2021 Military Fellow with Young Professionals in Foreign Policy, and a Non-Resident WSD-Handa Fellow at Pacific Forum. He has published over 50 essays in articles in outlets like War on the Rocks, the Marine Corps Gazette, USNI Proceedings and Military Review.  

It’s in that capacity as published writer that Capt Mills talked to us, to share some his insights on what it takes to get one’s foot in the door of the world of professional military writing.
