"Sweat today so you don't bleed tomorrow" Though typically associated with people who fight for a living (MMA fighters, Military, Police, etc), I think about how to apply this to my life daily. I never want to let my ego get so big that I think I know it all and don't need to learn or train. I try to learn something new every day, and it pays off over time. If you don't continue to exercise the learning mechanisms in your brain then your ability to learn will be diminished. Pick up a new hobby, learn an instrument, read some books about a topic that's always interested you - you'll grow your ability to learn in all aspects of life. Everyone has time to train and learn. A mere 5 minutes a day stacks up to over 30 hours of training in a year! Comment below if you're committing to 5 minutes a day, and let me know what you're wanting to learn!

The recent shift in conscription rules in China, aiming to promote national defense awareness from elementary school and requiring military training at high schools and universities, reflects a strategic move to enhance the country's defense capabilities. This initiative, part of broader efforts to improve the quality of military personnel, underscores China's focus on preparing its society for national defense amid rising tensions.

I missed this development, the first major shift since conscription rules were updated in May 2023, but all #china-watchers should keep this on their radar. #military #conscription #forces #talent #recruiting #preparation #nationaldefense https://lnkd.in/e8mN3GeH

Took this from William Lennon on the “PNWVETS” page on Facebook… For those Veterans that are interested in teaching after serving there has been a considerable change in the requirements for being a JROTC instructor in high schools. Until recently, the requirement was for the service member to be retired from military service to be eligible. DOD has approved, for all services, a significant change. Not all services are online with this change yet but will be soon. Each service can adjust the requirements slightly, as long as they do not drop below DOD requirements. Right now, the Army and Air Force are certifying with the following criteria. Noncommissioned Officers who have separated/retired within the past 5 years with a minimum of 10 years cumulative honorable service in the grades of E-6 through E-9. Officers who have separated/retired within the past 5 years with a minimum of 10 years cumulative honorable service in the grades of W-1 through W-5 or O-3 through O-6. This is a significant change and great opportunity for those that have served, but not retired. As a first-year teacher after serving in the military, pay would drop significantly from active duty if you are teaching outside of JROTC (math, English, etc.) But as a JROTC instructor, DOD has produced a new pay scale, similar to the GS pay scale for instructors. I have attached the Air Force one below. It will be the same for all services. This is minimum instructor pay (MIP). Schools are required to pay at least MIP. But many instructors receive more than MIP from their school districts. The Marine Corps and Navy should follow suit soon. I teach in a Marine Corps program, not a recruiter or employer. There are a lot of misconceptions about what JROTC is. Most folks see it as a recruiting program. It is not. It is a leadership and character-based class in high school. I’ve been doing it for 16 years and love it. If you are interested in JROTC, I'd be happy to talk to you about the job. https://lnkd.in/gNehpqEd

From Military Matters | The term “boot camp” conjures up motion-picture memories of Louis Gossett Jr. or R. Lee Ermey getting in the face of raw military recruits such as Richard Gere and Matthew Modine and screaming invectives and challenges at them. The traditional boot camp also brings to mind recruits running for miles in full gear, crawling through muddy fields with live ammunition buzzing over their heads and assembling their weapons in the dark. But, a completely different kind of boot camp now takes place each summer in the erudite halls of the nation’s most revered universities, including Princeton University. These are academic boot camps. Here, screaming invectives are replaced with thoughtful discussions, running in full gear is replaced with problem-solving exercises and live ammo drills are replaced with group projects and one-on-one mentoring. These academic boot camps are courtesy of the Warrior-Scholar Project, a national nonprofit whose goal is to prepare military veterans and transitioning military service members for success in their academic endeavors and the careers that follow.

Fitness Coordinator (Acting) at Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services / Chief Official CAF Grappling
[In military strength & conditioning] The complexity of a program is often inversely related to the experience of the author. Meaning, S&C professionals with minimal experience working within the military community often lack an appreciation for the complexity that exists in an operational military unit. This becomes most evident when programs require an immense amount of time to execute, equipment to set-up, or a dictionary and calculator to decipher collide with the numerous constraints (real or perceived) imposed on these personnel. A few general recommendations for consideration that will make an immediate, positive impact to your programs: 1. Ease of use - manage your word count. If the explanation of an exercise doesn’t fit into a tweet, it’s too long. Also consider your document formatting, inclusion of color-coding, etc. 2. Time management - Particularly in programming formation PT, the time to set-up and tear down + explaining the workout should not absorb half of your time allocated to train. 3. Low hanging fruit - the vast majority of military populations will benefit significantly from doing Pri-one (fundamental), compound-movements consistently. Don’t complicate for the sake of complicating. If you’re still unsure if the program is too complicated have a friend, relative, or your spouse (not a colleague) read it without your involvement and see if they can explain it to you as it was intended. #military #tacticaltraining #militarytraining #strengthandconditioning #programming

However, amid widespread changes in the force, the question arises: where is the funding to drive these essential changes? Bill Collum William Scott Mike Gulino Athena Gallotte
As 2023 comes to an end, this article is a quick reminder of why we at AFAMS do what we do every day. Because, in the end, #AFAMS' (and rest of Team Orlando’s) time, energy, and efforts are focused to help better train our #Airmen, #Guardians, #Soldiers, #Sailors, and #Marines to be better skilled at their jobs, using better equipment, to be more successful in their day-to-day operations, all to help better accomplish their overall missions. Serving our service members is the reason that we are here. New in 2024: Air officer, enlisted training gets a makeover. "Schoolhouses across the Air Force are reimagining education for a new generation of airmen, hoping to shape troops who are more critical thinkers, more capable workers and wiser leaders. ... measures are in the works to help the Air Force catch up to civilian schools that are years ahead in technology use, classroom collaboration and curriculum design. Tablets, augmented- and virtual reality headsets and other tools aim to give new airmen more control over their studies, particularly at the technical schools where troops learn their first — or their next — trades."

Student veterans face many unique challenges when they leave the service and enter a college or university 👇 1. Many student veterans coming into school have been in the military for about 4-8 years. They're adult learners joining a college campus that's often dominated by younger people. It's a very different environment than what they came from. 2. 54% of student veterans are married, and 52% have children. Many are also working part-time. So they have significant obligations and responsibilities in addition to their education. 3. They're often trying to figure out how to translate their military experience to higher education (including how to achieve credits for what they've already done in the military). Warrior-Scholar Project is a good resource on this front! 4. Some student veterans are still dealing with medical issues or disability claims and have to go to appointments periodically. 5. Some student veterans (as high as 20%-25%) are returning from deployment with PTSD. For more information on how career services can best support student veterans, check out the latest episode of the Career Everywhere podcast: https://lnkd.in/gDqpcPAu Featuring Eric Stetson, Director of Engagement and Enrollment at FourBlock and a retired Army officer. #CareerEverywhere #careerservices #highereducation #careerdevelopment #careercenter #studentveterans
