We understand what it means to be a military student. Kelvin, a US Navy veteran, chose Purdue Global because he appreciated an online school that has a faculty who knows what military students are dealing with. Like Kelvin, you have demands, duties and responsibilities, and #PurdueGlobal is here to support you through it all.

Today, I had the opportunity to expand my knowledge on the U.S. Naval Community College. I encourage all Naval Leaders to read these interesting facts and nominate a creditable Sailor from their command. USNCC provides naval-relevant associate degree levels and stackable certificates in naval-relevant fields to enlisted service members. It became established in 2021 in order to progress war fighting skills capability. Partnering with regionally accredited universities, its goal is to remain responsive to the fleet through emerging Navy programs and needs such as leadership, engineering, data analytics, cybersecurity, aviation and many more. It does not limit service members to in rate only specific classes. It does not touch TA or GI Bill funding. It does not require a specific time in service. It’s 100% funded. To enroll: -command nomination or apply online -application screened -command approves -candidate notified of admissions and next steps

This is Space Force Junior ROTC Encouraging Future "Leaders of Character" for the Nation The entire Space Force JROTC enterprise wants to send its best wishes to the graduates in the Class of 2024 from all the high schools of the Air Force Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (AFJROTC), which includes the current program of ten #SFJROTC units, who are going through their basic cadet training now as a member of the Class of 2028 at the United States Air Force Academy. The mission of the Air Force and Space Force JROTC programs is to create "citizens of character" for their communities. The mission of the Air Force Academy is to create "leaders of character" for the United States Air Force and United States Space Force and the nation. #CharacterAboveAll #IntegrityFirst

A really good long form article (with data) illustrating the tension at Service academies between the need for diverse perspectives in their officer corps and systems that often disadvantage the diverse individuals. While this tension is seen in the experiences of the socio-economically diverse and prior enlisted (both apply to me), it is most acute for racial diversity because it is an ever-visible part of a students identity. The academy prep schools like the United States Military Academy Preparatory School provide immense value by improving the access to and success of these more of these diverse populations. However, the core quantitative “meritocracy” of the academies present inherent challenges evidenced by the data in this article. The article sums up the challenges of quantifying every aspect of “merit” for officer candidates: “Owens has expressed concern that cadets are too often treated as numbers: their GPA or class rankings that determine who gets coveted assignments such as a place in flight school…But I've been talked down to more because of my class rank than because I'm a Black man."

Great post with actionable ideas and tools to do so...

#RESPECT - I still remember that THANK YOU note! After my second deployment - we were back in Mississippi - in the process of HOMEPORT training. A young sailor - U.S. NAVY SeaBee - had arrived and was succeeding nicely at his new duty station in San Diego. He thanked me for mentoring him during his time under my command at the SeaBee battalion. For anyone (including myself), the journey to gain Qualification is tremendously complex and challenging. I was proud that he had achieved his SeaBee Combat Warfare Specialist qualification. Essential skills qualification continues to be a fundamental process in the #SERVICE today whether Armed Forces, Law Enforcement, First Responders, etc. Everyone feels the pressure (including their spouses who #SACRIFICE in so many ways). From the time a new troop arrives at their command, they are expected to study hard, listen and learn from near-peer leaders, and eventually demonstrate their knowledge and skills required to obtain qualification in their specified warfare or occupational field. The stragglers who fail to obtain qualification eventually find difficulty advancing their careers. Those who gain qualification also gain #RESPECT. Those qualified continue their education by teaching others, the cycle continues… The daily discipline, peer pressure, leadership tenacity, and mission expectations drive each individual towards gaining these essential qualifications. Here’s to the culture of gaining essential skills which enhance the #SAFETY and #SUSTAINABILITY of all involved. Civilian companies that recognize the value of those coming from a #SERVICE background can gain tremendous advantages for their teams and customers when they nurture a similar #CULTURE. It’s not about ME. It’s about WE. #STRENGTH - Faith Beyond Yourself My Career Life. Borne of #SERVICE. Be #TheEagle. Employ The Eagle.

This video was interesting because it shows one of the big things #veterans bring to your workforce. Tenacity which makes you Never Quit! You can't teach that.

In-depth with CAPT Chris “Chowdah” Hill about the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69)'s grueling and dangerous deployment that faced a bevy of new tactical realities. "I note here that "I think it’s important to go big and not be afraid to use terms like ‘to love and value,’ and then really understand what mission and purpose is, and truly understand what morale is. In naval regulations, the commanding officer is required to care about the morale of his people. But the thing is, we don’t really teach how to do that, right? A lot of our training is focused on ethics and character building, and that’s all important. But that next step is how do you transform an organization? What can I do? What can I say? That’s the kind of training I think we need to get more into." 💯⚓️🇺🇲 Read here > https://lnkd.in/gxN7Wp_V #MightyIKE #CVN69 #BestDamnShiplnTheNavy #WarriorLeadership

Are you interested in becoming an Army officer after graduation? Look no further than ROTC! ROTC (Reserve Officers' Training Corps) offers Basic and Advanced Courses for students who have committed to entering a contract and completing the program. Contracted students have the opportunity to enter the Army as an officer upon graduation, either on Active or Reserve duty. While most students are contracted on scholarship, some are contracted non-scholarship in conjunction with National Guard or Reserve service. It's important to note that a student MUST be contracted in order to enter the Advanced Course, and Basic Course credit must be obtained before entering the Advanced Course. If you're a Cadet who is qualified to contract, you'll most likely do so during your Sophomore year, unless you're on a 4 year National Scholarship, in which case you'll contract during your Freshman year. Not only does ROTC offer the opportunity to become an Army officer, but it also allows Cadets to evaluate their ability to handle college life and course work during their Freshman year. Take advantage of this incredible opportunity to gain valuable leadership skills and serve your country. Contact your local ROTC program to learn more about becoming a contracted student. #armyrotc #joinarmyrotc #discipline #armyofficer #fitnessmotivation #inspiration #motivation #armystrong #rotc #scholarship #sandiego
