💂Today, 10th January 2024, a total of 14 Warrant Officers have been presented with their Officer Rank insignia by the Commander and Deputy Commander of the Armed Forces of Malta, after having successfully completed the "Late Entry Officer Course" and being commissioned as Lieutenants. They will now be continuing their service within various Units in the Officer Corps in the Armed Forces of Malta! 👉A late entry officer in the Armed Forces of Malta is an individual who transitions from being a regular soldier to receiving a commission, either in a combatant or non-combatant role, after completing a specified number of years of service in the Force. This transition marks a significant career progression, allowing experienced soldiers to take on leadership roles and contribute to the overall effectiveness of the Armed Forces. To facilitate this transition, the Armed Forces of Malta conducts the Late Entry Officers’ Commissioning Course (LEOC), which serves as a rigorous assessment platform for Warrant Officers aspiring to attain a commission. The LEOC is designed to evaluate the leadership potential, skills, and suitability of Warrant Officers for commissioned positions, ensuring that those selected for this career advancement are well-prepared and qualified to undertake the responsibilities associated with officer roles within the force. The course encompasses a comprehensive curriculum that covers both theoretical knowledge and practical skills, providing candidates with the necessary tools to excel in their new roles as commissioned officers. This approach not only enhances the professionalism of the Armed Forces but also recognizes and harnesses the valuable experience gained by late entry officers during their military career. #armedforcesofmalta #afm #military #commissioing #discipline #officer #ceremony

All military, including the United States Space Force, US Army, United States Air Force, US Navy, United States Marine Corps, and U.S. Coast Guard, are very, very good at #operations. As an example, I will share something about the deck of a carrier: Have you ever wondered what it takes to launch an aircraft from an aircraft carrier? The iconic movie Top Gun may have given us a glimpse, but it only scratches the surface of the intricate coordination and teamwork required to launch an aircraft at sea successfully. As someone underway on a CVN, I can attest to the awe-inspiring spectacle of aircraft launches. From the roar of the engines to the precision of the flight deck crew, it is truly a marvel to behold. But for most people, the chance to witness this firsthand is a rare and unique experience. That's why I'm excited to share a video that offers a unique opportunity to see the complexity and skill involved in launching an aircraft from an aircraft carrier. It's an inside look at the many moving parts and the dedicated personnel that make it all possible. Each person plays a critical role in ensuring a safe and successful launch, from the aircraft handlers to the catapult officers and the air traffic controllers.

On your command, general Lieutenant General Fernando García González-Valerio, Chief of the Spanish Joint Chiefs of Staff (JEMACON), retired this past week. I met Fernando late 70s when we were preparing together to join the Spanish Army's Military Academy in Zaragoza, and from that moment a deep friendship arose that has lasted until today. Together we took the civilian parachutist course (he has continued jumping, last time few days ago reaching more than 900 jumps) and from that moment our lives have evolved together. All this despite my disengagement from the Armed Forces and the beginning of my professional career in corporate security in 1982. I have to say that my status as defense analyst since the 80s - one of the firsts in Spain - has also allowed me to maintain an exceptional relationship with him. General Gonzalez-Valerio, in my humble opinion, and I know what I am talking about, has been an exceptional soldier with an extraordinary career, where he has combined positions at the highest operational level with others of command/leadership and organization, inside and outside Spain, highlighting two missions in Afghanistan. He has also been the protagonist of some unique situations. Perhaps the most notable was commanding as Major General the 3rd Castillejos Division, a large rapid intervention unit with a very complex and heterogeneous structure made up of three brigade-type units: the Legion Brigade (where he commanded a company as a young captain); the BRIPAC or Parachute Brigade (where he commanded a battalion or bandera); and the Airborne Brigade (where he commanded one of her two airborne regiments). This is a truly exceptional situation. This long operational experience has had an extraordinary positive impact on his other command and staff positions, the last one as JEMACON, and has granted him a great respect from his colleagues and subordinates. Another virtue that I would like to highlight about Fernando is his clear vision of what both Spanish Army and Spanish Armed Forces should be, enriched by absorbing information from very different sources and then processing it under his own criteria. I cannot hide my admiration, affection and respect for him. Whenever he had the opportunity he asked for my collaboration in some projects, of which I feel deeply proud and grateful. I hope I have not disappointed him. Life does not stop, and even less so in organizations. No one is indispensable, more in professional life, much less irreplaceable, but some leave an indelible mark that becomes a reference for future generations. And this is with no doubt the case of General González-Valerio. We have spent hours talking about the military profession, and I expect we will continue doing so. Regrettably, we have left some projects pending, but I want you to know that it has been a real honor and pleasure to work - from my modest position and when I have had the opportunity - with you and for you, and together for the Spanish Army.
