Not too many organizations highlight the value of military talent in the workplace: Here are 3 reasons you would love to have them on your team… 1. Disciplined Work Ethic: Military veterans bring unparalleled discipline to the workplace. Their training in following through on missions despite challenges ensures that they are reliable and focused employees. 2. Leadership Under Pressure: Veterans often have experience in leadership roles under high-stress conditions. This makes them adept at managing teams and making strategic decisions quickly and effectively. 3. Adaptability: Veterans are trained to adapt to new environments and situations rapidly.

#1) GET YOUR RECORDS IN ORDER!! Get your #medical #records and service record sorted out. All of your #awards, your #schools, your #qualifications, etc etc. Do not leave anything out. AND MAKE COPIES!!! #2) Get on LinkedIn, and various social media forums, and follow the advice from top names in the #veteran world. You'll know who they are. Take their advice with a grain of salt and season it to flavor your life. #3) Finish up any qualifications you have, start taking #classes online, or apply for internships/skill bridge/etc. Start getting your feet wet with what you might wanna do after the military. It may not be the path you eventually go down, but, it doesn't hurt. Go ahead and get your associates thru a community college. Work on your PMP (or CAPM). You never know where it might lead. #4) Save every penny you can. Pay off every ounce of #debt you have. Unless you get another government job, paychecks are a little more sporadic. And, it makes it easier to decide what you're going to do. You don't have to take a less desirable position, just because it pays more, so that you can barely make the minimum payments on your debt. (Plus, being debt free is a huge stress relief in general!) #5) Semper Gumbi. Be Flexible.

Motivation for my fellow transitioning USAF Security Forces brothers/sisters in arms: As you embark on your civilian careers, let's remember that you have experienced a wide array of tasks - from intense and demanding responsibilities to seemingly mundane moments.

Did you know this year marks the 75th anniversary of a very important milestone in U.S. military history?

This week, we will highlight the importance of recognizing the service and sacrifice of all those who served in the US military and their families. We will also look at the important lessons we can learn from those who have served. One of the most important lessons we can learn from those who have served is the value of teamwork. In the military, teamwork is essential for success. Each individual must work together with others to accomplish a shared goal. The military has a way of breaking down barriers and bringing people together, regardless of their backgrounds or differences. This teamwork is essential not only in the military, but also in our daily lives. Whether we are at work or in our communities, working together with others can help us achieve greater success than working alone. Make this week great for you and your team.

The Future of Leadership? In today's complex and rapidly changing business landscape, Servant Leadership is more important than ever. It's about leading with empathy, fostering a culture of innovation, and building teams that are resilient, adaptable, and ready to tackle the challenges of the future. As leaders I believe we have a responsibility to lead from the heart, to serve our teams, and to create an environment where everyone can thrive. Because at the end of the day, leadership is not about being in charge. It's about taking care of those in our charge.
