US Army Corps of Engineers’ Post

As we reflect on the history of our armed forces, it’s important to recognize the pivotal role Hispanics have played in defending our nation. As of 2021, 1.2 million Hispanics were serving or had served in the U.S. military, making up 16% of active-duty personnel. Hispanics have served in every major conflict since the Revolutionary War. Today, Hispanics make up 24% of Marine Corps active-duty personnel and 19% of the Army. By 2060, it’s projected that Hispanics will make up 31% of the U.S. military.

Something to think about

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!

Telling Your Military Story 2.0 Let me introduce you to one of the United States Navy’s newest sailors, Seaman Recruit Khalil C. Revels! Seaman Recruit Revels is entering the Navy as a 5th-generation military member, following in the footsteps of his cousin, uncle, great uncle, grand uncle, and great-grandfather! So proud of my nephew! In the U.S. military, it is estimated that a significant portion of new recruits come from military families. According to recent reports from the Department of Defense and various studies, about 30-40% of new enlisted recruits have immediate family members who served in the military, such as parents or siblings. This trend reflects a strong tradition of military service within certain families and communities, contributing to the overall recruitment base. In addition, families with a military history often pass down values like duty, honor, and service, which can influence the decision of younger generations to enlist. This creates a self-sustaining cycle of recruitment within certain communities, reinforcing military traditions. Godspeed, Khalil!

Standards for the military must always be high. Standards for military must prepare every soldier for war. Standards for the military must show how to win and more importantly how to stay alive. Standards for the military clearly demonstrates the military is not for everyone. Standards for the military exemplify why military individuals are elite and la creme de la creme. A salute, to the US Army, US Marines, US Navy, US Air Force, US Coast Guard, US Space Force and all National Guard, National Air Guard and Active Reserve units.

NEW: Statement Of General (Ret.) Wesl ¿ K. Clark, Former NATO Supreme Allied Commander And VoteVets Senior Advisor, On Donald Trump Encouraging Putin To Attack NATO: "It is the kind of statement that can only come from a deranged and twisted mind. I do not say this lightly: The lives of every American, both in uniform and civilian, are at severe risk if Donald Trump wins this election." VoteVets is working hard to ensure Donald Trump is never our Commander in Chief again. Chip in today to keep Trump out of office. Use of military rank, job titles or photographs in uniform does not imply the endorsement of the Department of Defense, Departments of the Army, Navy, Air Force, or the Marines or Space Force.
