What are we passing onto the next generation? I heard a stat from the Department of Defense that 77% of males 17-24 years old are not fit for military service. That’s pathetic, but it not their fault. What kind of example have we been setting the next generation? We must do better! We owe it to them to do better and be better. We also owe it to them to pass on our knowledge and experience and help them thrive! If you’ve been slacking it’s okay. Today is a new day and you can change! Be the example you know you can be! #reconditionrx #example #family #workout #BEBETTER

Maj Geoff Ball's insights, combat experience, and heart wrenching dialog are critical to our nation's understanding of the impact from the loss of its most treasured citizens – those that have served and lost their lives in service to our nation. As the presidential election accelerates to a fever pitch, with name calling and unfulfilled promises, it seems that those leaders have forgotten the value of servant leadership, their responsibility toward those they sacrifice without reason, and ultimately being held accountable for their actions - wrongly taken. To reestablish trust between the Executive Branch and the Department of Defense and its Marines and Sailors require that everyone within this failed operation must admit to their mistakes...Corporal Hunter Lopez, Corporal Daegan Page, Corporal Humberto Sanchez, Lance Corporal Jared Schmitz, Lance Corporal Rylee McCollum, Lance Corporal Kareem Nikoui, Lance Corporal Dylan Merola, Lance Corporal David Espinoza, and HM3 Maxton Soviak and their families deserve your admission of the truth. #goNavy #USNavy #veterans #veteransupport #veteranshelpveterans #defence #usna

I've never been a Navy Seal. (if you know me in person, you just laughed & for good reason. "Looking" athletic & Being athletic are 2 VERY different things. Just ask any of my PE teachers👎🏻). I've never been in the Navy...or in the military. But I'm an observer of human behavior. (side note: this may explain my fascination w/ utter rubbish reality TV. Everything from "90 Day Fiance" to "Alone." My brain always wants to figure out, "Why are you the way that you are??" 🤔) On a Professional level, I appreciate the determination, perseverance, & general attitude that comes with military service. They may not all have the same motivation for choosing to serve their country, but there is something motivating them. For many, it also comes w/ a higher level of integrity, a higher sense of Team > Self. It can be seen before they ever say a word, even long after they've retired or discharged into the civilian world. It doesn't require being in uniform b/c they've embodied a purpose. Why did I say Professional and not Personal? Well, frankly, b/c it's how I approach my career. I'm here to serve patients that I'll likely never meet & they'll never know I exist, even though I've just read the majority of their medical history. I may be in a coding & compliance sector of healthcare & have 0 interaction w/ the human on the other side of this medical record, but my actions can be determine if the patient has a great visit (as defined by the patient) w/ their physician. Carelessness on my end results in frustration for a provider, but if I can prepare - in quick, succinct fashion - new/updated info that has relevant impact to patient care & treatment plan, then I've anticipated & met a need. Now the patient has more time looking their Doctor in the eyes instead of the physician searching thru EHR/EMR files for the latest labs *or any other applicable scenario.* I'm no Seal. I never will be. But there is an interesting parallel to military service & healthcare careers - serving perfect strangers, & the job, when done correctly, is largely unnoticed. And it's not about recognition. If you've ever thanked a military member, they'll be polite about it, but to them, they are just doing a job. I chose coding & CDI b/c my introverted self loves that while I'm very similar to a nurse, there are no needles, no bodily fluids, & I'm not re-introducing myself 27 times a day. (to those of you who are patient-facing, God bless your patience & compassion for the work you do!) As for why I don't apply the same discipline to my Personal life...well, I'm a Class A procrastinator, & if there were a support group for it, I'd think about joining...tomorrow...maybe. Or...maybe I'll stop procrastinating, & read #UnSEALed as I have Mark Greene just staring at me from the cover where I laid the book by my work station. I suppose if anything can kick my butt into not procrastinating, it may be an unblinking Navy Seal just...watching me waste time. 👀 😂

#Reminder: 🧱 Brick orders run through Sunday, March 31. 🧱 🧱 Leave a lasting legacy to a family member or loved one that served in a branch of the United States Armed Forces with the Town of Jupiter’s Veterans Memorial Legacy Brick program. 🧱 The Town of Jupiter Veterans Memorial was opened in 2020 and is dedicated to remembering and honoring the men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces, as well as those Gold Star families who have had a loved one make the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. How the Legacy Brick Program will work: 🧱 Each brick will have two options: 1. A message with no branch insignia: these bricks will include four (4) lines of text, with a maximum of 21 characters per line. 2. A message containing a branch insignia: these bricks will include an insignia of the United States Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines or Coast Guard as well as four (4) lines of text with 15 characters per line. • All bricks will be a red charcoal color to match the current bricks found at the Veterans Memorial. • Each brick will cost $100, which will include the production of the brick as well as its installation. • Space is limited and bricks will be placed on a first-come, first-served basis. If the space sells out, the Town will explore additional areas after the completion of the construction of the new Town Hall building. 🚫 No political statements will be allowed as a part of this memorial program. The Town of Jupiter reserves the right to refuse any message or the placement of a brick. 🔗 For more information and to order a brick, visit https://lnkd.in/eJ38esAt. If you have any questions about the program, email CommunityRelations@jupiter.fl.us.

This is such great insight: “Not being a Green Beret is harder than being a Green Beret.” Read on for the explanation ../

On this day, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and honor the heroes who stepped forward in the face of unimaginable tragedy. First responders, medical personnel, and countless volunteers served courageously, offering their all to help families and communities in need. As a USAF veteran, I’ve come to reflect on what it truly means to serve. When we sign up to join the military, I don’t know if we fully understand the weight of giving ourselves for others. But when the moment comes—when faced with the decision to defend our country, fight for freedom, and even face the possibility of war—so many do not flinch. They serve with honor, and some pay the ultimate price so that others can live their lives in peace. This spirit of selflessness and sacrifice is something I carry with me, not only from my military service but also in everyday life. Whether on the battlefield or in the challenges we face daily, standing for what you believe in and knowing your value is a form of strength that can inspire and uplift those around us. Today, we honor those who gave their lives on 9/11 and those who continue to serve. Let’s never forget their sacrifice and strive to support one another in their memory. #NeverForget #911Heroes #EqualPayEqualSay #VeteranStrong #ServiceAndSacrifice #Resilience #Leadership #HonoringTheFallen #MilitaryService #NeverForget #911Heroes #EqualPayEqualSay #VeteranStrong #ServiceAndSacrifice #Resilience #Leadership #HonoringTheFallen #MilitaryService
