I recently released the Navigation Plan for America’s Warfighting Navy, and for #FoundationFriday, I’m emphasizing my project 33 target to “restore critical infrastructure” that generates, sustains, and postures the force for the fight. Shore readiness is essential for getting more players on the field to fight and win. This is true across the world. In any potential conflict, we will rely on a global network of installations, dry docks, and other facilities to generate and sustain ready forces, and that is the reason I prioritize Foundation as we prepare our Navy to fight and win anywhere in the world.

This Navigation Plan from CNO is a fascinating one with 2027 a key date.

We warmly welcome this initiative, as this initial 500 new homes is a huge step in the right direction, but we need to remain focused on securing a number of housing projects that will work to resolve our housing shortage. The projected shortfall of 4,220 dwellings over the next five years underscores the urgency of securing additional housing projects, emphasizing the need for our continued advocacy and our urge for support from the Queensland Government.

“So why should we care?” “This sounds expensive.” “This isn’t for us.” Over the last three years advocating on Capitol Hill, we’ve had some terrible meetings. Not every meeting will be a success. We’ve left meetings and felt like we bombed it. Remember, it only takes one “yes” to start a movement. Nothing happens overnight. You may hear 1,000 “no’s” before the “yes”. Keep going. After each failed meeting, re-play the conversation and figure out where it went off track. Course correct and try again. Change is never easy. It takes sustained effort over time and people who never give up. #keepgoing #MAA #empowerment #autismacceptance #militaryspouse #missionready #MissionAlphaAdvocacy #army #navy #airforce #marines #coastguard #spaceforce

This post is spot on for #EFMP and SNP families trying to access #ABA services. DoD needs to assess all quantitative and non-quantitative limitations that serve as barriers to accessing #healthcare and #mentalhealth. Portions of the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) need to be enacted for #militaryfamilies to prevent some of the issues #military #specialneeds families have brought up about the Autism Care Demonstration. MHPAEA could also help with accessing clinical #behavioralhealth services to treat #anxiety and #depression before thoughts turn towards #suicide. Resource gaslighting is an issue we need to solve NOW to increase the #ArmedForces readiness, resilience, and retention as well as bolster #suicideprevention! #AirForce #Army #CoastGuard #MarineCorps #Navy #SpaceForce #militarychildren #militaryspouse #exceptionalneeds
