April 23 marks the birthday of the United States Army Reserve. Following World War I, under the National Defense Act of 1920, Congress reorganized the United States land forces by authorizing a Regular Army, a National Guard, and an Organized Reserve (Officer Reserve Corps and Enlisted Reserve Corps) of thirty-five divisions, which later became the #ArmyReserve.

To understand the rank of Fleet Admiral, one needs to consider the context of World War II. The United States was working alongside Allies who had higher ranks like Field Marshals and Fleet Admirals, which were superior to American ranks. To ensure American senior officers were not outranked, the United States established the ranks of Fleet Admiral and General of the Army, both five-star ranks. In total, nine men held these ranks. For the Navy, they were Nimitz, Halsey, King, and Leahy. In the Army, the five-star generals were Arnold, Eisenhower, Marshall, MacArthur, and Bradley.

Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps, Carlos Ruiz, emphasizes the importance of improving barracks conditions for enlisted Marines. He believes that if the military expects volunteers to serve, it is essential to provide them with safe and comfortable living spaces. Ruiz compares Marines to Division I athletes, stating that they deserve proper support. The Marine Corps has unveiled its Barracks 2030 plan, which aims to revamp living quarters and address issues such as mold and broken appliances. The plan requires a significant investment, with $274 million allocated for barracks modernization in Fiscal Year 2025. The United States Marine Corps has also requested an additional $230 million for this purpose. Ruiz assures that Marines are not asking for luxury, but rather for decent living conditions while fulfilling their duty. The focus on improving barracks aligns with the Corps' commitment to both modernization and the well-being of its personnel. #USMC #MarineCorps #BarracksImprovement #EnlistedMarines #MilitaryHousing #Barracks2030 #InfrastructureInvestment #SafetyandComfort #MarineWellbeing #MilitaryModernization #SupportOurTroops #InvestInOurMilitary #MilitaryLife #MarineLeadership

Generated several DMs of interest from this post (linked below for reference) yesterday! Primary Question: "I didn't know there was a full-time #Reserve component! What can you tell me about?" Well.... it HUGELY depends on your designation (Officers) or rating (Enlisted). Take #SWO for instance... Two career paths depending on timing and interest. TAR SWO (Surface Warfare Officer) has a wet side and dry side career pipeline. What does this mean? Ample opportunity to support ashore or afloat. Your "Shore Tours" also may look different as a wet or dry SWO because they will largely be in support of Navy Reserve Centers. Since TAR stands for Training and Administration of the Navy Reserve, you can imagine these billet types, locations, etc. can HUGELY vary but are largely shore based and in direct support of the Navy Reserve. Thoughts? Questions? Let's discuss and I'll debunk any myths you may or may not be hearing out there on the deck plates...

To be clear… The message here is not, “me first,” but “Don’t forget yourself!” We funnel ourselves into the machine and often lack self-care and awareness. Because of this we often find an environment that lacks compassion, empathy, and togetherness. An environment that evolves around results and false images. Instead of fostering a toxic environment due to self-induced despair, build a space for connectedness. Running behind promotion and money is okay, but what is all the status and money and no peace for self, or memories of how you got to the results? As a leader, I’d rather my troops find peace in their personal life that resonates with their work, which builds a stronger bond in the daily experiences of each other than being lost in the “high stakes” of results and losing the ones to their left and right. Strength isn’t all bronze, being well-rounded is the optimal solution to overall success.
