From John C Maxwell's book on leadership comes these humorous actual pieces of advice from the military: 1) Aim towards the enemy - Instruction printed on US rocket launcher 2) When the pin is pulled, Mr. Grenade is not your friend - US Army 3) If the enemy is in range, so are you - Infantry Journal 4) It is generally inadvisable to eject directly over the area you just bombed - US Air Force Manual 5) If your attack is going too well, you are probably headed into an ambush - Infantry Journal 6) Never tell your Platoon Sergeant you have nothing to do - Unknown Army Recruit 7) Don't draw fire, it irritates the people around you - Your buddies 8) If you see a bomb technician running, try to keep up with them - US Ammo Troop

Answering this mornings post from our Regimental Chief Warrant Officer (RCWO) CW5 Willie Gadsden Jr, LSSMBB As we start this new week, let’s focus on what we can achieve together. Each of us brings unique strengths and skills that, when combined, make us unstoppable. Remember, every goal we set isn’t just an individual milestone; it’s part of the greater success we’re all working towards. Let’s approach this week with dedication, resilience, and a sense of unity. Lift each other up, celebrate the small wins, and don’t hesitate to lean on one another when challenges arise. The road ahead may have obstacles, but together, there’s nothing we can’t accomplish. How did I get after this? While deployed to Europe supporting our European Allies and Partners is a benefit I get to see very closely. I had a great conversation with Polish Lieutenant on how partners within the Polish Div share understanding over a map and the benefit of having both digital and physical maps. 1st Cavalry Division, U.S. Army US Army Corps of Engineers 36th Engineer Brigade, U.S. Army #bustingcapsandmakingmaps #firsttoknowwithmaps #essayons #firstteam

**Support Your Local Infantry Lieutenant: They Need You** In the heart of our military operations, there's a group often overlooked, facing challenges that test their mettle daily. These are our Infantry Lieutenants – the brave, young leaders who stand at the forefront of our nation's defense. Many of these Lieutenants are fresh out of training, thrust into the rigors of leadership with minimal experience. They are responsible for the lives of their soldiers, making split-second decisions under immense pressure. The weight on their shoulders is immense, and their journey is fraught with countless hurdles. Yet, these Lieutenants persevere. They lead with unwavering courage, often putting their troops' needs above their own. They navigate the chaos of the battlefield, ensuring the mission's success while safeguarding their soldiers' well-being. But they can't do it alone. These brave men and women need our support – emotionally, mentally, and materially. They need mentors to guide them, communities to stand by them, and resources to help them grow into the leaders they are destined to be. By supporting an Infantry Lieutenant, you are investing in the backbone of our military. You are ensuring that the next generation of leaders has the strength, resilience, and knowledge to protect our freedoms. Let's come together to lift up these unsung heroes. Reach out, lend a hand, and show them that we stand behind them, just as they stand on the front lines for us. Your support can make all the difference. Stay caffeinated Aerial Resupply Coffee®

Part of the research I am conducting for my book on the 8th Infantry Regiment of the Illinois National Guard (370th Infantry Regiment) is on the history of the National Guard. This part of the research has been fascinating. From learning about the first three regiments formed during the colonial period to the various Militia and National Defense Acts that helped to shape the Guard into what it is today, it has truly been eye opening. If I may say so myself, it is one of the most interesting chapters in the book.
