Really interesting 5 minutes there. Listening to this it occurs to me that there is so much to be learned from the experiences and successes of the military reserve services by other volunteer centred national service provision organisations like the RNLI, NHS responders, Retained and volunteer Fire and Rescue, local resilience volunteers, Coastguard, and close to my heart, Police Special Constables. Likewise all these bodies and groups have their own successes and learnings that could well benefit others. There is talk of the world entering a pre war era of increased instability, of a public struggling with its mental health and sense of self worth, of the lack of funds available for supporting the fabric of society, that makes me think that perhaps now is a time to move the experience of volunteering and professional parallel employment and take these to another level and lessen risks posed by future conflicts by increasing the sense of purpose and resilience of our population personally and society generally. A multidisciplinary leadership group with representatives across different sectors, including government, military, third sector, healthcare and private sector, would allow all to improve both their own offerings and the services they deliver in the short term and look strategically contribute to a more robust nation. Thoughts anyone?

April 23 marks the birthday of the United States Army Reserve. Following World War I, under the National Defense Act of 1920, Congress reorganized the United States land forces by authorizing a Regular Army, a National Guard, and an Organized Reserve (Officer Reserve Corps and Enlisted Reserve Corps) of thirty-five divisions, which later became the #ArmyReserve.

MONDAY MINUTE: Happy Veterans Day Veteran’s Day is set aside to celebrate and acknowledge those who have served this country. As I reflect on the service of some of my family members, I want to remind you of a few ways you can celebrate this day: 📌Volunteer at a VA Hospital or Veterans Center Spending time with veterans in hospitals or community centers is a great way to give back. Some centers welcome volunteers to read, play games, or simply offer companionship. 📌 Participate in a Moment of Silence or Ceremony Observing a moment of silence at 11 a.m. honors veterans' sacrifices. You could also attend or organize a flag-raising ceremony to show respect for those who have served. 📌Send Care Packages or Letters to Active Military Members Organizations like Operation Gratitude and Soldiers’ Angels help civilians send care packages and letters to deployed service members. This small gesture can significantly impact morale. How do you plan to celebrate or honor veterans today? 📣 A special thank you to my dad, grandfather, father-in-law, brother, sister-in-law, uncle, and cousins for their service. #MondayMinute #MondayMotivation #VeteransDay #VeteransDay2024

People's behind-the-curtain efforts are always worth recognizing. There are always unseen soldiers hiding behind curtains. Results are always favorable if they are motivated and satisfied to complete their work. This is relevant to all sectors of life, including corporate, political, military, dramatic, and daily activities. Regarding people behind the curtain efforts, what are your thoughts? #behindthecurtainpeople #corporate #people

If you have any siblings or kids you're a walking testimonial for this Mil-Speaking Sale Tip! My (little) brother and I hated when our parents (and even teachers) referred to us as the other...and THEN we joined the military and it got worse! I went varsity...aka Navy, while my brother went JV...aka Army. So you can image how each of us feels when someone...or some business refers to us interchangeably. My brother is a Soldier...and isn't named Chris! I am a Sailor...and not named Eric! If you wan to sell to military community members, differentiate yourself by engaging with us using our correct branch titles! #marketing #advertising #sales

Some very important words following a significant find by Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency. If you yourself have a Missing member in your family or if you know anyone who has one, getting a DNA sample has never been more important. The increases in sophistication of DNA analysis has allowed a massive increase in numbers or distances in relation that has not ever been considered. It’s a big win for increasing the numbers of resolutions for our missing. A big win for our country and family members. #POWMIA #honor #sacrifice #veterans #army #navy #airforce #USMC #commitment.
