In my opinion this is one of the most important roles a police department has. Chose who fills them wisely.

"What am I now?" Terry Crews got cut from an NFL team and ended up humbly sweeping floors and washing Ice Cube's car before he changed his perspective and found his purpose after the game. During this clip Terry speaks out about the depression he faced while transitioning away from the game of football and it's similarities to transitioning from the military. "When you quit football it's almost like the military" According to statistics from the NCAA, only 1.6%(262) of the 16,380 draft eligible college football players will turn pro and have an opportunity to compete for one of only 1,696 jobs. Of those fortunate 1,696, on average their NFL careers will only last 3.3 years. According to statistics from the Army, approximately 30% of officers, and 10% of enlisted soldiers retire from the Army. What do these set of statistics have in common? 📢 Lots of young adults TRANSITIONING‼️ No matter if you play football or serve our country, know that you won't do either of them forever, and that you don't have to be defined by them forever. Because of our level of dedication and how we identify with these lifestyles, transitioning from them can be difficult at times, but still very possible. Be encouraged and know that 🫵🏾You 🫵🏾 can do it! Don't be afraid to turn the page in your life, you might just be a few pages away from the best chapter yet! #transition #transitioning #transitioningmilitary #transitioningservicemembers #transitioningveterans #lifeafterfootball #collegefootball #nflfootball

Sometimes, letting the engineering team speak to the real problems can motivate the client towards real solutions. This whole notion of sales teams and engineering teams not being on the same page is a problem that I continually have to solve for companies, when brought in to handle "system issues". Sales teams provide feedback for engineers on the customer experience, and defines the fiscal opportunity/risk. Engineering teams provide insights to sales on design decisions, scheduling, known solutions, and should be the metric for a businesses productivity levels. It's very common for sales and engineering teams to not be on the same page, and the worst part of it is the number of companies who are okay keeping these skeletons in the closet - because who wants to take responsibility for the problem when it's you? #engineeringproblems #technicaldebt #brokencode #spaghetti #cicd #mismanagement #guidelines #regulations #procedures #mobileapp #softwaredeveloper

We have all encountered this scenario previously. Offering pragmatic resolutions to clients can aid sales teams in elevating customer contentment and enhancing lead conversion rates. In the grand scheme of things, this approach plays a pivotal role in circumventing delivery delays and guaranteeing a seamless project lifecycle. #sales #projectmanagement #projectcoordination #salescoordination

Bittersweet Goodbyes: What My Last Sermon Taught Me About Leadership Yesterday, I delivered my final sermon in a military chapel. Just as I thought I was closing this chapter on a high note, the stakes started rising, and my smooth transition into civilian life suddenly felt uncertain. Yes, I delivered a heartfelt final sermon that resonated deeply with everyone present. But, just when I thought I could ride that emotional wave into retirement bliss, I realized the weight of leaving the military family behind was heavy. No, I wasn't physically knocked out, but emotionally, I felt a blow. And then Chaplain (LTC) Dicks, my replacement, stepped in with a surprise—he presented me with a drawing he did of yours truly. This wasn't just a sketch; it was a reminder of the bonds and connections that make leaving tough. Receiving this highlighted the deep connections I'll leave behind. Now, facing the unknown of civilian life feels like stepping into a boxing ring again. I question whether I can replicate these meaningful connections in civilian life - This is where the real challenge begins. Here's what this experience taught me: - Genuine recognition comes in small gestures. - Leading involves personal connections. - Embrace change with gratitude and excitement. - Cherish uplifting moments to inspire others. As I gear up for the next chapter, I’m carrying these lessons with me, fueled by the amazing chaplains I've had the pleasure of working alongside. But the real question remains—can I replicate the meaningful connections of military life in the civilian world? That’s a story still being written. What challenges have you faced in your own transitions, and how did you overcome them? Let’s share our experiences and support each other on this journey.
