Today is National Armed Forces Day and May is National Military Appreciation Month! 🇺🇸 We’d like to take a moment to thank all the Veterans, Active Duty, Reserves, and Military Spouses and Families for your sacrifice and service! 🙏 In honor of Armed Forces Day, please let one of our nation's service members know how much you appreciate them. Something as simple as a "thank you" can speak volumes. 🇺🇸 🙏 . . . #thankyouveterans #veterans #armedforces #militaryappreciationmonth #armedforcesday #obsessedwithsuccess #marketingmagicmakers #digitalmarketing #marketing #business #marketingdigital #digitalmarketing #branding #socialmedia #entrepreneur #socialmediamarketing #advertising #online #entrepreneurlife

3x Combat ARMY veteran with a Bronze Star in combat! Be careful who you judge! We talk about wanting to be a part of the United States Army and the new recruiting system. We discuss how other countries require mandatory military service, and how that can make people better. We emphasize that joining the Army doesn't change who you are, but rather helps you become more educated and understand important life lessons, like pre-combat checks and inspections. The key message is that by changing your algorithm, you can change your life. US Army Jared Jerrick, PMP #Army #Recruiting #LifeLessons #PersonalGrowth #Algorithm

I recommend starting with the Challenges of Military Transition and reading about Voids to Fill first. This is a topic that doesn't get the attention it deserves. Replace purpose, identity, and tribe is critical to moving on after leaving the military.

Army leadership at a round table: Hey guys we should really think how we can improve the three tenants of fitness: Physical/Mental/Spiritual. 1.     Maybe we can stablish a 24hr gym access on every military installation. Monthly gym vouchers for those not near a military installation i.e. Recruiters, Nat. Guard, Reserves. 2.     An incentive/reward program for fitness achievements such as high fitness scores, weight loss goals, etc. You know what Soldiers love the most? (Time off & Money) 3.     We could do a study on the food we are serving at the Chow Halls. Let’s figure out why Service members rather eat out than eat at our facilities. 4.     We need to compare notes with our sister services and find out what has work for them and what has not? I’m pretty sure every branch has spent millions of dollars on this type of research, and we could share the information based on lessons learn. The SOF community has been doing this type of research for years and they are some of the most elite warrior athletes in the world. Let’s reach out…. Army leadership: Guys, all those are great but…. You know what. I got it… A new PT Uniform…that’s what we need. ‘If we’re going to be fit, then we’re also going to look good’ New generation of leaders, same old concepts and mentality. Just re-brand the old ideas in a new Power-Point… Stick to basics. Good order and discipline. Get rid of death weight (career Officers & NCO’s just coasting until retirement) Promote talent, reward competence and effectiveness. Reward hard work, discipline, and those who go the extra mile… Figure out how to fix the recruiting of quality and qualified people. Invest in your junior Soldiers early on so they don’t leave… Great talent leaves our ranks daily because lack of opportunities, family stability, and disparity in pay between the Civ population and the Mil… Invest in engraining patriotism back in our communities… 

Good advice for all!

Most of your posts are really laugh out loud Austin von Letkemann , but I think this is your best post yet. The #cost and #businessmodel for changing the PCS #cycle is a really important conversation that impacts #retention and #recruitment goals across the #dod Side note, my observations of the #airforce #servicemwmbwrs is that they have significantly longer dwell time on station, so my first thought is that the #army will be catching up to them. Also, even though this is mostly about service members, similar considerations could be discussed about #civil #servants. There’s certainly benefits of cross pollinating best practices and techniques across a globally dispersed and diverse workforce.
