Beginning next Thursday evening, Matt Sivacek, Brunilda (Brunnie) Garcia, MBA, MSS, and I will GET to spend time with service members, retirees, veterans, and military spouses from the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps. We're going to talk about: ✅ the brain and how it manages change ✅ individual purpose and vision ✅ the financial implications that come with military transition ✅ connecting and communicating ✅ living a purposeful life 🔷 and, we'll pay with Lego bricks and paint! It's FREE and virtual. Over the life of Changing Focus: Moving From We to Me so far, our participants have been in 39 states, 7 countries, across 5 continents...in the US Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, and Space Force...the National Guard and the Reserves...and the South African Air Force. We're very proud that at the end of their cohorts, EVERY single person has said that ALL service members and their spouses should participate in a cohort of Changing Focus: Moving From We to Me.

You know the answer to the question, "When is the best time to plant a tree?" If you're leaving the military in the next 24 months, NOW is the best time to participate in a cohort of Changing Focus: Moving From We to Me. If you've already left the military, NOW is still the best time to join a cohort. We welcome veterans from any era with any kind of discharge. Our alums include people who have been out of the military from one year to 33! #military #veterans #militarytransition #transitioningmilitary #militaryspouses #veteranshelpingveterans #zigszagsandpivots

Elite level training, to get better at anything takes practice and training at it over and over again, all about repetition and focus and dedication.

#HRCAnniversary Since the establishment of our nation’s Army in 1775, its leaders recognized the need for organization and personnel management. These concepts have gone through drastic changes and improvements since the American Revolution and in 1973, the predecessor of U.S. Army Human Resources Command – the U.S. Army Military Personnel Center, or MILPERCEN – opened as the home of Army personnel operations. Over the next three decades, several Army Directorates which all focused on various aspects of personnel management consolidated within MILPERCEN, leading to the formation of U.S. Army Human Resources Command in 2003.   This year, #USArmyHRC celebrates its 50th anniversary as the Army’s home of personnel operations and its 20th anniversary as a command. Today, HRC continues to evolve in its efforts to best serve our valued customers – Soldiers, units, Families, veterans and retirees – in ways that have a transformative impact on their careers and Family life, while creating a positive and lifelong connection to our Army. #SoldiersFirst #MakingADifference #WeAreHRC #USArmy #ArmyMissionCritical #VitalHRC

Today we honor and celebrate the 249th United States Army Birthday. We extended our deepest thanks and gratitude to every Soldier serving on Active duty, Reserves, National Guard, Veteran, Retirees, and their families for your service to our nation. We honor and remember those Soldiers who paid the ultimate sacrifice to defend our nation, our allies, and the values of the US Constitution. #DeptofDefense #ThePentagon #MilitaryCommunityandFamilyPolicy #USArmy #ThisWeWillDefend History The United States Army (USA) is the land service branch of the United States Armed Forces. It is one of the eight U.S. uniformed services, and is designated as the Army of the United States in the U.S. Constitution. The oldest and most senior branch of the U.S. military in order of precedence, the modern U.S. Army has its roots in the Continental Army, which was formed on 14 June 1775 to fight the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783)—before the United States was established as a country. After the Revolutionary War, the Congress of the Confederation created the United States Army on 3 June 1784 to replace the disbanded Continental Army. The United States Army considers itself to be a continuation of the Continental Army, and thus considers its institutional inception to be the origin of that armed force in 1775.

Here are some questions I answered regarding being part of the military and what it means to me. #ptp

On April 23, 1908, Congress created the Medial Reserve Corps, the official predecessor of the Army Reserve. Following World War I, under the National Defense Act of 1920, Congress reorganized the United States land forces by authorizing a Regular Army, a National Guard, and an Organized Reserve (Officer Reserve Corps and Enlisted Reserve Corps) of thirty-five divisions, which later became the Army Reserve. This provided a peacetime pool of trained Reserve officers and enlisted men for use in war. The Army Reserve Corps of Medical Officers was created with 160 physicians; 116 years later, there are more than 200,000 Reservists in more than 148 fields that may be called to action when their country requires their service. #Happybirthday #armyreserves #NICoE #DefenseIntrepidNetwork #DIN
