Did you know that as an Enlisted Reserve Component Cadet that’s serving in either the Army National Guard or US Army Reserve, you can still commission into an Active Duty Component?

The Army's training philosophy, "train like we fight," can be applied to the professional world too. By following a process every time, even creating one if necessary, and improving it if it doesn't work, we can make it second nature. Remember, practice doesn't make perfect, because perfect doesn’t exist. Practice makes us more potent, efficient, and effective. #trainlikewefight #processimprovement #progressnotperfection

Doctrine for the sake of doctrine is boring Doctrine as a principle set of rules that you can apply creatively against your opponent is how you get results.

Project Manager / Operations / Business Partner / Veteran | Professional Development, Learning Strategies, Process Improvement
Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage. We often hear inspiring stories like that of AF Tech Sgt. John Chapman, whose heroic actions serve as a testament to the qualities inherent in veterans. I had the privilege of working alongside a veteran from the 10th Mountain Division, whose bravery earned him a medal. Reflecting on his experiences, he vividly recalls the perilous situations they faced and the morale-boosting sight of US air support overhead. Stories like these underscore the invaluable contribution veterans can make to your organization. In times of adversity, veterans demonstrate unwavering dedication and selflessness. John Chapman's actions weren't driven by personal gain or recognition but by a profound sense of duty to his comrades. Imagine having someone of such caliber within your organization—someone who prioritizes loyalty and teamwork, fostering a culture of trust and collaboration. The qualities exhibited on the battlefield seamlessly transition to the workplace. Veterans bring a unique blend of leadership, resilience, and adaptability—qualities essential for navigating today's economic landscape. Hiring a veteran isn't just about fulfilling a need; it's about tapping into a wealth of skills and experiences that can drive your organization's success. As we honor the sacrifices of John Chapman, let's also acknowledge the family he left behind. Their unwavering support and sacrifices deserve recognition too.
Today we remember the life of US AF Tech Sgt. John Chapman who was killed in action on this day in 2002 while racing to the top of Takur Ghar to call in airstrikes throughout the Shah-i-Kot Valley, where hundreds of US Army soldiers from 10th Mountain Division, United States Army and 101st Airborne Division, U.S. Army were pinned down and fighting for their lives. With little to no air support available to them, John was the only one with the planes and authority to drop bombs that day. For his heroic action on the battlefield that day, John would earn the Medal of Honor and go down in history as one of the most decorated members of the STS Community. REST EASY IN VALHALLA BROTHER.

What a great picture to capture the heart of a courageous warrior. I'm struck by John Chapman's subtle smile and peaceful resolve. This picture reminds me that we in the military can often mistake being tough with being hard. Hardness is easy. It's cold, impersonal, invulnerable and results in disconnectedness. We're tempted to justify hardness when the mission or task is difficult, or when we may or may not necessarily agree with the desired outcome. Put on the blinders, separate the heart from the action, do the task, live for another day. Toughness is connection based (both connected to self and/or a team) and requires selflessness and discipline. Tough, courageous warriors have tenacity, grit, determination, professionalism and most importantly: HUMILITY. I've known plenty of tough people with gentle hearts. Toughness leaves room for the heart to stay connected to your hands and mind. TSgt John Chapman's tenacity, grit and professionalism were on display at the top of Takur Ghar, but his humility, heart and selfless desire to serve brought him to the top of that mountain. I'm not sure you can capture the heart of a tough and selfless warrior any better than this photo of him humbly and gently holding an Afghan baby.
