Top tip! Bring along clothes you love and that show off your personal style! The standard advice on what to wear for your headshot does tend to steer people towards a conservative look. And there are times when it pays to play it safe and follow the company culture! For instance if you are looking to join a new company, or to rise up in the ranks of your current organization, checking to see how the Executive team presents themselves online could provide you with ideas on what to wear for your headshot. But in many instances, especially if you are in a sales, marketing, or creative role, injecting some of your personality into your personal brand can help you to stand out from your competition! More adventurous choices of color, pattern, and accessories can help make you more memorable to your clients and prospects, and to “stop the scroll” here on LinkedIn. I absolutely love this pink jacket Katherine brought along to her Portraits For Patriots® session! Portraits of Patriots is a 501(c)(3) Charitable Organization with a mission is to ensure that everyone that comes through the program benefits from a high quality professional headshot to aid their transition. #volunteer #personalbranding #charity #stopthescroll 

𝓢𝓾𝓹𝓹𝓸𝓻𝓽𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓓𝓲𝓪𝓵𝓸𝓰𝓾𝓮 𝓸𝓷 𝓜𝓮𝓷’𝓼 𝓦𝓮𝓵𝓵𝓫𝓮𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓒𝓸𝓷𝓭𝓲𝓽𝓲𝓸𝓷𝓲𝓷𝓰 In today's evolving societal landscape, we must address and understand the unique challenges faced by men. From a young age, boys are often conditioned to adhere to a false sense of bravado, a #stereotype that demands they suppress their emotions and project an image of unwavering strength. This conditioning not only stifles genuine emotional expression but also contributes to the perpetuation of toxic male chauvinism. 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓘𝓶𝓹𝓸𝓻𝓽𝓪𝓷𝓬𝓮 𝓸𝓯 𝓤𝓷𝓭𝓮𝓻𝓼𝓽𝓪𝓷𝓭𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓢𝓾𝓹𝓹𝓸𝓻𝓽 To foster a healthier society, we must engage in open and honest dialogues about men's well-being. It's essential to #acknowledge how these ingrained behaviors and expectations shape men's mental health and relationships. By understanding the root causes of these issues, we can create a #supportiveenvironment that encourages men to #embracevulnerability and seek help without fear of #judgment. 𝓒𝓱𝓪𝓵𝓵𝓮𝓷𝓰𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓕𝓪𝓵𝓼𝓮 𝓝𝓪𝓻𝓻𝓪𝓽𝓲𝓿𝓮𝓼 Challenging the false narratives of #masculinity that promote stoicism and emotional suppression is vital. We need to recognize and dismantle the harmful stereotypes that equate vulnerability with weakness. Instead, let's promote a culture where expressing emotions is seen as a sign of strength and where men feel #empowered to share their struggles and seek support. A heartfelt thank you to Lt. Cdr. Bijay Nair (Navy Veteran) for shedding light on these critical issues with such eloquence and empathy. Your insights into the conditioning of men and the impacts of false male bravado are essential in driving this much-needed conversation forward. Your advocacy is paving the way for a more #inclusive and understanding dialogue around men's well-being. Together, we can redefine how masculinity is perceived and create a society where men are free to be their authentic selves. Let's continue to support and uplift each other as we work towards a future of genuine emotional well-being for all. #MensWellbeing #MentalHealth #EmotionalIntelligence #BreakTheStigma #ToxicMasculinity #SupportMen #Wellbeing #Empathy #InclusiveDialogue #SOULSARA #Wellbeing

12 JULY 1862 – ESTABLISHMENT OF THE MEDAL OF HONOR : On 12 July 1862, while the nation was engaged in the American Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln signed into law the measure that called for a U.S. Army Medal of Honor, to be awarded in the name of Congress, “to such noncommissioned officers and privates as shall most distinguish themselves by their gallantry in action, and other soldier-like qualities during the present insurrection.” Lincoln had approved a similar provision that created a U.S. Navy Medal of Valor, which provided the basis of the Army Medal of Honor created by Congress in July 1862. As noted, the Medal of Honor was originally intended to be an award to enlisted members, but in 1863, when the Medal of Honor became a permanent military decoration, it also became available to all members of the Armed Forces, including commissioned officers. The medal is reserved for recognizing those military personnel who have distinguished themselves by "conspicuous gallantry" in actual combat at the risk of life beyond the call of duty. Since its creation in 1862, more than 3,400 men and one woman of the U.S. Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force and Coast Guard have received the Medal of Honor for heroic actions. The official name of the award is the Medal of Honor and is awarded by the president in the name of Congress. It is not "The Congressional Medal of Honor." The first U.S. Army recipients of the Medal of Honor were six members of a raiding party who penetrated deep into Confederate territory during the Great Locomotive Chase of 1862.

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.

Understanding D-Day and Honoring Our Armed Forces: Ever wondered what the “D” in D-Day stands for? It’s a common question, and the answer is simpler than you might think: “D” stands for “Day.” It was a military code for the day an important operation began. For many of us, June 6, 1944, or D-Day, symbolizes a monumental moment when Allied forces, including a significant number of British troops, stormed the beaches of Normandy. This wasn’t just any day—it was a turning point in World War II, a day that changed the course of history and secured the freedoms we enjoy today. Remembering D-Day is about more than just reflecting on the past. It’s about honoring the courage and sacrifice of those who laid down their lives for the greater good. These were ordinary men and women who performed extraordinary feats under unimaginable conditions. They faced relentless challenges, but their determination and bravery paved the way for victory against tyranny. As we look back, it’s essential to not only remember those who served during that critical time but also to appreciate the members of our armed forces who continue to protect our nation today. Their commitment and dedication ensure that the legacy of courage and service lives on. These individuals are out there every day, making sure that our country remains safe and that our values are upheld. Let’s take a moment to honor both the heroes of the past and those who continue to serve. Our gratitude for their service and sacrifices cannot be overstated. They stand as a testament to the resilience and strength that define our armed forces. Here’s to the past, present, and future defenders of our freedom. Your efforts and sacrifices are truly appreciated.❤️ #DDay #Remembrance #ArmedForces #Respect #Service #Gratitude #Veterans #Military #BritishForces

I highly recommend accessing these and seeing what our competitive writters are writting about, how they are writting, and consider what your topic would be for next year. Just doing the first two will make you better in your profession. What topics are we missing?

LTG Jensen, director of the Army National Guard and U.S. Army School of Advanced Military Studies (SAMS) #amsp alum, shares his thoughts on command and the role of the National Guard in today's Army. Kudos to a couple of our resident National Guardsmen Jesse Valles and Russ McKelvey for hosting a great #oparch show! A few thoughts that stuck with me: (1) Solve problems at your echelon. This means enabling the headquarters below you and understanding the mission of your higher headquarters to be at the right place, time and with the right capability to help them win. (2) Every component has a role (Active, Guard, Reserve). Be clear on expectations and invest the resources to ensure you get the right capabilities in the time you need them. (3) Mobilization - it's hard on paper, harder to imagine what it will be like in "real life". We won't know unless we rehearse.
