The U.S. Army Warrant Officer Career College at Fort Novosel, Ala., usually trains Soldiers in the fine art of being warrant officers, who fill technical rather than leadership functions. But among one recent class of instructors were four Airmen who later this year will help train the Air Force’s first batch of new warrant officers in 66 years. https://lnkd.in/gy5JFnZk https://lnkd.in/gy5JFnZk

Juneteenth is known as America’s “second” Independence Day because it commemorates the end of slavery in America. The holiday also represents the beginning of the fulfillment of America’s promise of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for Black Americans.

Happy Birthday to the U.S. Army! 🇺🇸 Today, we celebrate 249 years of unwavering service by the United States Army. Founded on June 14, 1775, the Continental Army laid the groundwork for the incredible force it is today. Founding figures like George Washington, its first commander-in-chief, helped shape its illustrious history. But our celebration extends beyond the battlefield. We recognize the immense sacrifices made by the families of our soldiers. To the spouses, children, and parents: Your strength and support are the backbone of our military community. You endure long separations, hold down the fort at home, and face challenges with courage and grace. Your resilience and love keep our soldiers grounded and motivated. You unwaveringly support them through relocations, school changes, and new environments. Parents, your unwavering pride is a foundation for these heroes. You have nurtured them and continue to be a source of encouragement and strength. Thank you to all the soldiers, veterans, and their families. Your courage, dedication, and sacrifice inspire us all. Here's to many more years of honor, duty, and excellence! ️ #ArmyStrong #ArmyBirthday #SoldierForLife #USAWOA

The Sleep Debt Tightrope: A Soldier's Perspective Sleep deprivation is a gamble. We often target 4-hour stretches, hoping to "catch up" later. But energy drinks offer a fleeting boost, masking the cognitive decline that impacts mission success. Senior Leaders understand this trade-off. They train for high-pressure situations where sleep is scarce. They assess the risks, knowing how fatigue impacts decision-making and reaction times. It's a calculated risk, pushing people to their limits for the greater good. Junior leaders tend to ignore the guidance of senior leadership to achieve an advantage of that day. The Question: Is the Cost Worth It? This raises an important question: can we achieve mission objectives while prioritizing our people's well-being? Check out this interesting article from Risk Management Magazine on how to combat fatigue: #SoldierForLife #USAWOA #AUSA

Proud to Address the Future Leaders of our Army! 🇺🇸 As President of the Southern California Silver Chapter of the United States Army Warrant Officers Association, I had the distinct honor of visiting the graduating Class of 24-001 at California Army National Guard Camp San Luis Obispo. These men and women have embarked on a journey not just of education and training, but of transformation. The Warrant Officer Candidate School is here to forge them into officers of character, dedicated to serving their country with integrity, lifelong learning, and selfless service. I commend the dedicated Training, Advising, and Counseling (TAC) Officers and instructors who guide these future leaders. They push candidates to their limits, both physically and mentally, while instilling the values that define a true Army Warrant Officer. Through challenging exercises and experiential learning, these graduates are gaining the skills they need to lead effectively in any situation. They've learned from the best, and now they're ready to take on the mantle of leadership. ⚔️ Congratulations to the Class of 24-001! The Southern California Silver Chapter is proud to welcome you to the Warrant Officer family.
