Showing military appreciation can be as simple as saying, “thank you.” Or supporting military causes. Or jumping out of a perfectly good Army aircraft. Wait. What? Educators and community leaders from across California did just that to learn about the US Army's Golden Knights during a “Tandem Camp” held in Byron, CA. Golden Knights Tandem Team members paired with participants providing training (and reassurance) to participants. Once ready, three pairs at a time loaded into the Golden Knights aircraft strapped together, ascended to 12,000 feet, and jumped. The Golden Knights are made up of several expert teams to include the Demonstration Team, the Tandem Team, the Competition Team, the Exhibition Team, the Aviation Detachment, and numerous other support personnel to include logisticians and aerial videographers. Their primary mission is engaging the public in support of recruiting. Programs where the military engage with the public take place all over the country on a regular basis. Brands have an opportunity to authentically engage with the military and the public, while bringing additional value to the engagement. #MilitaryMarketing #Military #marketing #MilitaryAppreciation

Microsoft has partnered with military tech firm Anduril to enhance the U.S. Army’s Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS) by integrating Anduril’s Lattice platform. These smart combat goggles will provide soldiers with real-time data, 3D mapping, and threat detection capabilities, improving decision-making on the battlefield. The IVAS goggles will also feature low-light and thermal sensors, enhancing situational awareness and overall combat effectiveness. This collaboration aims to overcome previous performance issues with IVAS and field an improved version for U.S. soldiers. #Microsoft #Partnered #military #tech #Firms #army #usa #visualeffects #Augmentation #system #Smart #combat #goggles #smartglasses #soldiers #RealTime #data #detecting #Battlefield #businessdor Microsoft Anduril Industries Anduril Smart Glasses Noor Smart Glasses Military Aviator Night Vision Goggles ANVIS-6 Military: Defense, Communications, Security, Weapons, Vehicles, Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps

𝐇𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐚 𝐯𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠! Today, I want to recognize and thank those 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐬. Their investment and sacrifices give us freedom and opportunity to pursue our own professions and passions. When these men and women become veterans, I would encourage you to look at 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐚 𝐯𝐞𝐭! Here are 6 great traits! 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭– Veterans are highly trustworthy. These are people who have security clearances, after all. 𝐀𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐭 𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐞𝐫 – A veteran often trained in one area but was moved to another. They had to quickly embrace change, train, learn and adapt. At the same time, they learned how to leverage their existing training, skills and knowledge in new roles. 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐞𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 – A military member could be sitting in an office one day, and the next day they could be deployed to a disaster area or war zone. Military veterans are highly flexible to changing business needs. 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 – The military is always on the leading edge of technology. Thus, military members have often seen things nobody else has. Thus, military veterans have been conditioned to be very technology-minded, always thinking about how innovation could advance their mission. 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 – Nobody is more loyal than a military member. Veterans have come to embrace the same values that are revered by manufacturing companies: We also recently had 2 service members on The Maintainers podcast where they shared their experiences going from service into manufacturing. Check them out in the comments! #themanufacturingmillennial #manufacturing #armedforces #armedforcesday #army #navy #marines #airforce #coastguard #spaceforce

Experts from Army Futures Command and ASA(ALT) co-authored a great discussion on the increasing proliferation of sensor-dependent and sensor edge technologies across the battlefield, and the various challenges associated with integrating them throughout the tactical network. The C5ISR Center, PEO IEW&S, PEO C3T, and the US Army Capabilities Manager for Fire Support outlined the types of dynamic, leap-ahead technologies needed to disambiguate, process, and synthesize disparate sensor information for optimal data sharing across an MDO-capable force. 🧐 Interested but unable to attend today’s panel?

“If you really want to do something…you’ll find a way. If don’t really want to do something…you’ll find an excuse.” I can’t believe that… It took an 8 yr old to remind me. As a young buck, I was told I would never get to achieve my dream of being a USAF pilot because 👎(pick a reason, there were a few). 🎯Needless to say I found a way, and became a USAF pilot. In the process, I grew miles because of those obstacles and those successes that followed. None of that would have been possible if… I had accepted “no” as an excuse…rather than the way to the right path. 💡As a result of those lessons, I’ve been able to pass those virtues on to my children, like my 8yr old, Sophia, who… Invested hours of sweat & pain so she could conquer her newly discovered Ninja course obstacle. (See the video). No matter what your struggle or goal is, Remember….the obstacle is the way. I challenge you to endeavor to find your path to “the way”, instead of finding an excuse to avoid it. Do this to get awesome and stay awesome. Because you matter, and the world needs you! #youmatr #successbreedssuccess #veterans #military #militaryspouses #veteranshelpingveterans #22aday #aviation #UNAA #AmericanNinjaWarrior #USAF Chris Roness Enterprises, LLC (You M.A.T.R;)
