As a dual military couple, Kirsten Brunson joked that while she and her husband Xavier occasionally run into each other at Fort Bragg, they make the best of their time off together. ���In the early years of our marriage my husband would say things like: ���stop cross examining me��� and ���stop talking like a lawyer���.��� Her reply: ���Did it ever occur to you that I don���t talk this way because I���m a lawyer, I am a lawyer because I talk this way?��� (���See, you are doing it again,��� Xavier Brunson interjected.)

I may have to work holidays or rush to prepare a breaking news piece to air as soon as possible, but I find my schedule to be exciting. I enjoy it.��� Off Duty Demanding work schedules often
