James ‘Remo’ Jackson is a former US Navy Chief Petty Officer with over 13 years of experience in the military. He was tagged with the nickname ‘Remo’ from a service buddy not from the popular Destroyer series of action novels.  During his tenor in the Navy, he interacted with other branches of the US Military and other nation’s armed forces. As a contributing author to a few non-fiction works, short manuals and procedural text books, he is currently a military technical advisor to several published authors as well as a roving reviewer for Buyzombie.com.

While in the service he developed an interest in the zombie/horror genre and was disappointed at the lack of novels and films that contained realistic and accurate depictions of military units. This inspired him to create the Ward Room so that authors and others could have some kind of a resource when they needed accurate information about the military. A wilderness/outdoor survival instructor and disaster mitigation educator, he spends his spare time instructing clueless people on the fine art of survival in less than pristine conditions.
