This is it. Intent for publishers, pro Esports orgs and other professional agencies to turn to collegiate as a viable resource for Esports competitive. Here at Army West Point Esports we have seen it with NYXL, FITGMR, Esports Illustrated, MSI and others and now we see it with publishers and orgs like Call of Duty Endowment, Activision Blizzard, and Oxygen Esports. Work to make collegiate a tier 2 solution for pro Esports. I am not the first one to bring this to light, many a Director before me has said the same thing. Build the pathway and enhance student experiences and develop a more resilient professional Esports player. Collegiate programs have established their positions and rooted their programs within the mission of universities and colleges and focus on student well being, development and overall success. Collegiate programs are not going anywhere. Daniel Clerke, Dr. Chris "Doc" Haskell, Bryan Hummel, Jesse Bodony, Cody Elsen, Cora Kennedy, Jay DeShong, Max Levasseur, Chris Postell, Wim Stocks

Service member issues and social media. PART 2 1. Performing your job and duties in inclement weather as a justification to exit the service. Below is a quote from a fellow Special Forces Soldier that sums the argument that we must be comfortable with being uncomfortable. "Somewhere a True Believer is training to kill you. He is training with minimal food or water, in austere conditions, training day and night. The only thing clean on him is his weapon and he made his web gear. He doesn't worry about what workout to do - his ruck weighs what it weighs, his runs end when the enemy stops chasing him. This True Believer is not concerned about how hard it is, he knows either he wins or dies. He doesn't go home at 17:00, he is home. He knows only The Cause." a. If you can’t handle the minor stress incoluations of conventional military training, you are opening up yourself, and others to high risk in the event that you are exposed to a kinetic environment. Let’s be honest with overseas, you are probably not going to handle daily (non-military) life stressers as well and are most likely in the wrong line of work. Does the extreme hot,cold, and wet environments suck, absolutely. But the pain and being uncomfortable doesn’t last forever. b. I’m gonna plagiarize from our SEAL brother Demo Dick, the less you bleedth in training, the less you bleedth in war. Meaning, train how fight, fight to win.

Serivce member issues and social media. PART 3 1. I have no freedom in the military (not my words). a. Let’s be transparent and honest, yes the military has its own set of laws, rules, regulations, and policies. Our operations, actions, and initiatives may be tactical(locally) executed, but most of strategic(transregional and global) affects. Therefore, the Services must maintain a higher standard of morales, values, and rules (laws) than our civilian counterparts. There CAN be a perception that this imposes more restraints on service members. However, let’s take another perspective. Using Jocko as a source, “discipline equals freedom”. What does that mean to me? It means that the more discipline, initiative and intestinal fortitude that someone displays, the less micro-management is placed upon them. Boundaries and rules still exist! This allows organizational leaders to trust in their subordinates while fostering critical thinking, which allows younger organizational members the flexibility to solve problems own their own while meeting objectives. b. Secondly, your level of maturity and performance will directly affect your freedom. Case in point; On the military’s dime (due to operational requirements) I’ve been to Dubai, South Korea, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Poland, Germany, Ukraine, Spain, Bulgaria, Belgium, Panama and had the opportunity to interact with Senior members from partner nations, the USGOV, and developed long lasting friendships. My most memorable experiences have been visiting Dachau, Aushwitz (twice), the Nuremberg Trail courtroom, the Ardennes Forest and various other historical sights. Discipline Equals Freedom!

Important day and a strong message delivered across the Maritime and Defence Industry. An improvement of the lived experience is desperately needed to encourage more personnel to join a thriving and exhilarating sector. Government’s 2050 Maritime Strategy is for 30% of the workforce to be female. Currently most organisations struggle to see double figures (standfast Royal Navy). We still struggle to see inclusion across the workforce with women frequently seen as being ‘less’ or a ‘nuisance’ through wishing for both family life and careers. The two are not mutually exclusive. I was one of those in my 20s who felt I just wanted to get on with my job and that everyone should be treated equally without getting involved in female specific organisations. I didn’t want to rock the boat and threw scorn on those who did. Now I am the one with humble pie finding myself with both childcare and career requirements. In the UK Merchant Navy >92% identify as white British male, more work needs to be done. I am proud of the work I do within the RFA as well as what I achieve in my seagoing career. It is better to inspire, empower and promote inclusion across the workforce to be stronger together.

#diversity #edi #equalitymatters #hr #leadership isn’t just nice to do, it’s ESSENTIAL. Learn why the ‘business case’ for diversity is about fairness of opportunity and maximising all available talents . United States Marine Corps understands this. Watch this clip of the Commandant of #usmc explain this in such simple, effective and powerful language. Equality isn’t about mission statements and posters on a wall. It’s about getting it done and recognising the true costs of not doing it . #leadership is knowing ourselves and those we are responsible for as people and behaving accordingly.

What is your why for serving? In this video, Major General Carruthers (Assistant Adjutant General, Commander of the Florida Army National Guard) takes the time to explain why he continues to serve in the Florida Army National Guard. We would love to hear your why, so feel free to share it in the comments! #whyIjoined #whyiserve #armynationalguard

Service member issues and social media. PART 1 I’ve been putting this reply off to gather some intellectual arguments that mitigate my personal bias due to my experience. However, I think it’s worthy of tossing that in at the end as well. I’m not here to debate for or against the use of social media with respects to our service members voicing their complaints. Let’s face reality, the newer generations are social media influenced and the domain isn’t going away. Therefore, we must navigate ways to handle or throttle the use of platforms and especially exploit them. I don’t think we, the older generation are experts in the exploitation phase of social media compared to those who are in our charge. Secondly, I think any organizational leader should listen to ALL complaints where you agree or disagree them. A good command climate (work environment) must also exist where employees have a mechanism to voice compliants, propose ideas, and be incorporated in to the information/feedback loop. If a mechanism doesn’t exist, your employees will find an outlet of expression (social media). Let’s address some complaints here; your feedback is welcomed and encouraged. 1. The military doesn’t pay well. a. With the national wage index in 2022 of ~$63, it’s hard to counter this argument…if you don’t have the additional factors. I will say that it is a positive fact that the younger generation is conducting a comparative analysis between different job markets. As service members/veterans , let’s further the education piece to better inform them! The 2024 military pay chart ONLY includes base pay (https://lnkd.in/e-Gz-u-6). b. I’ll use my personal case as an example. According to the pay chart, my rough annual income is $96k. However, the hidden part that the younger generation and civilian sector don’t see are the other pays and allowances (housing, food, travel, proficiency pay, various other deployment and hardship pays). Factoring in the other pays and allowances my income jumps upwards to $130k. Realizing that this is not Officer pay which is strikingly higher and took me over 25 years to obtain, still not a bad salary. Let’s also toss in free health care. What are your monthly health care premiums? c. Let’s also examine the performance to pay relationship. If you are highly qualified to exceptional in your career field, you can expect a steady rise in pay over time. If you reside in the normal realm of performance and only do what is required without taking initiative, then you can expect your pay raise to be behind your peers. Lets be honest, those who fall behind, or only do what’s expected will most likely separate from the service anyways. Mike Robinson

Read the comment that provides more detail about how he saved his fellow Marines. Outstanding Marine with uncommon valor! Semper Fi

For people wondering what good comes from this system and the full implications for the actual warfighter, I'll say this. In 2010 during the invasion of Marjah (Operation Mashtarak), the marksmanship, or lack-of precision shooting was exposed. We had problems outside 300 on movers. Some had problems even closer. As a Small Unit Leader, if I would have had this technology, my squad would have started the deployment in the manner it ended the deployment. Changes were made on the move that would have been observed with CK training, and adjusted before the push. Marines were trained to a standard, instead of training past it. Though shooting has come a long way, we can never stop enhancing and refining the art. CK systems do just that. They allow a Squad Leader to push his men past the standard and maintain perishable skills, all while using no ammunition, ranges, or higher RSO/OIC supervisors. Being able to analyze your men in a cognitive fasion, allows for enhanced talent management in the squad/platoon/company levels. ~See first, Hit first~
