    Staff Sgt. Tamara Patrick, operations sergeant, 497th Transportation Co., 395th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, 16th Sustainment Brigade, has successfully balanced her unit's mission operation tempo with her educational goals. Patrick has completed 30 credit hours towards her bachelor's degree in business management at Thomas Edison State College, Trenton, N.J., since arriving at Contingency Operating Base Q-West, Iraq, in October 2008. "It has been more challenging than I thought it would be to balance work, school, and even sleep," said Patrick. "But it has been well worth the time and effort knowing that I pursued my goals while defending my country."
