How a PCV puts it gently

This is my last post as your moderator! I'm excited to see where this platform goes next! Back in 2013 when I started my PC process the howapcvputsitgently tumblr page was what made me excited to be apart of this community, and as I joined and learned how brutally honest these messages are, they gave me humor and connection to volunteers around the world serving. I'm proud to have brought it over to Instagram and brought the humor of service to more! Good luck everyone and try to laugh a bit when shit hits the fan (sometimes literally)#howiseepc #peacecorps https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo9KIPdFhaE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5srwzd2eol8b

I have COS'ed and need to replace the monitor of howapcvputsitgently (sorry for the lack of posts recently.) If you'd like to become the new monitor message me with gif about service and how long you have left! I can't wait to see the next phase of this site that helps so many of us get through some shitty times with a laugh #howiseepc #peacecorps https://www.instagram.com/p/BowgNDrlD6i/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=omlukr5kio2
