I was watching a fantastic show on Prime about the legendary Blue Angels. And I was struck with a powerful truth. Yes. The pilots are outstanding. They are, after all, American Naval Combat Fighter Pilots. That alone makes them the best at what they do. The fighter pilots selected for the Blue Angels represent less than 1% of the Navy's combat pilots. That truly makes them the best of the best. The pilots, however, do not make the Blue Angels' performance consistently stand out. How could they? The pilots serve only a 2-3 year term. If the pilots were the sole reason for the Blue Angels' success, the quality of the program would vary. It does not. Watch any show over any period and witness the same excellent results. That Diamond Formation in this picture is scary good. And it is every single flippin' time. To be clear, the pilots are outstanding. They are US naval combat pilots. Those men and women are badass. But a team like this is great because of the system that turns badass fighter pilots into a seamless team. There are approximately 25 supportive members for every one of the six Blue Angel pilots. The team has a robust training program for every position. Performance metrics are clearly documented, measured, and reviewed consistently. Every member of the team is confident in their role in the greater success of the team. They are confident in their personal authority. The team is highly psychologically safe. Strong open internal communication exists. A deep bench of recruits with a solid "apprenticeship" program also exists. When the newly selected pilot joins the program, they enter a system of excellence. "The people change. The suits stay the same." And it is this SYSTEM OF EXCELLENCE that makes the US military the best in the world. If an organization desires consistent results over the long term, the focus needs to shift from creating great leaders to creating systems of excellence. #leadershipisnotenough #putyourcultureontrac #blueangels #military

1-3 represent best practices (processes) found in doctrine, but 4 is a reflection on the importance of our focus on the Human Dimension and developing human peak performance TOWARDS those best practices. Teaching MDMP to WO candidates, I concentrate heavily on Products leading Processes that develop more Products that inform subsequent iterative Processes… I may insert a column for each step about facilitating Performance: teaching FM 5-0 and FM 6-0 through the lens of TP 525-8-2 and TP 525-3-3/ADP 6-0

Yesterday, I had the privilege of representing the 2nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team (“Mountain Warriors”) in a Combined Arms Rehearsal (CAR) as part of our preparations for an upcoming training exercise with the 4th Infantry Division, Fort Carson. “The CAR stands out as the most potent method for fostering shared understanding among units. It not only readies us for intricate operations but also optimizes time by allowing concurrent subordinate rehearsals and pre-combat checks.” Here are some key points from the feedback provided by our leadership after the rehearsal: 1. Flexibility and Synchronization: The CAR presents an opportunity to synchronize the plan fully and pinpoint friction points. It's essential to embrace flexibility and encourage appropriate dialogue rather than adhering rigidly to a script. 2. Active Engagement: It's crucial to ensure that all participants have a clear view and active involvement in the CAR. Every attendee should leave with an enhanced ability to visualize and articulate the operation. 3. Validation of Fighting Products: Seize the opportunity to validate critical fighting products, particularly the Decision Support Matrix (DSM) and Synchronization Matrix (SYNCMAT), with a specific emphasis on the SYNCMAT. This matrix efficiently organizes operations by unit, task, and purpose across time, ensuring coherence and clarity in execution. 4. Last but not least, ergonomics and efficiency are important, many times the CAR undermines itself by not facilitating human focus and understanding. What are your thoughts? TTPs?

Yesterday, I had the unexpected pleasure of running into George Cassels at World Wide Technology ‘s Global Headquarters. We were both there for meetings, and it had been years since I last saw him in person. The genuine joy I felt just from seeing him for a brief moment speaks volumes about a few things: 1. The power of true friendship. 2. The lifelong camaraderie we build in the military. 3. The unique bond we share as US Army Signal Warrant Officers. 4. The joy that comes from sincerely rooting for others to succeed. When George and I first met, he was a Network Technician in the 82nd Airborne Division, and I held the same role in the 1st Cavalry Division. There was no competition, despite what our bosses might have said about who had the “better” Warrant Officer. Instead, we learned from one another and built a strong connection. Today, George is with Hewlett Packard Enterprise and I’m at Inspired Solutions and the best part is—we both genuinely want to see each other succeed. This serves as a simple reminder: life is richer when you build meaningful friendships and take time to celebrate each other's victories. #FriendshipGoals #MilitaryCamaraderie #SignalStrong #LifelongBonds #USArmyVeteran #LeadershipLessons #CelebrateSuccess #SupportEachOther #NetworkingMatters #BetterTogether #BeInspired #TheGraceLife

“She’s here, it’s G-Spot!?I heard she was going to show up.”? ? My fighter pilot callsign is actually “G-Spot” not “G.”, and if you want to know more about that, read the following post, but that is not what this post is addressing: ? https://lnkd.in/eWJ-zcw5 ? I walk into the building and as I expect it is filled with a sea of green flight suits, a comforting sight for a pilot who spent over 20 years in that very uniform.?I recognize the various patches on the uniforms, but no name tags or faces look familiar.?A part of me wants to turn around and leave, as I start to feel a little out of place.? ? I am NOT in uniform.?I am retired.?And although I know I was invited and I belong here, I feel like a 7th grader walking into a new middle school for the first time, trying to look like I’m totally comfortable, but I’m really not.?Where do I go? Who do I talk to? No one seems to be interested in talking with the random lady in civilian clothes at this exclusive military event. ? I spot a few other people not in uniform and I suddenly feel at home again.?It’s my classmates and instructors from when I had gone through training here. ? So where was I? ? The 26th Weapons Squadron at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada.?One week ago today I attended “Patch Night,” where pilots who complete US Air Force Weapons School (the US Air Force’s version of?Top Gun) earn the patch they will wear on their left shoulder for the rest of their career.?These Weapons School graduates will go back to their squadrons where they will be the lead instructor and tactical expert.?They have a lot on their shoulders, but completing this grueling, 6 month, PhD level program prepares them for the rigors ahead. ? Last week they gave out patch numbers 151-160.?For reference, I was patch number 6.? ? It was a honor to not only witness the “Patching” of 10 outstanding aviators, but to see the growth of this community that has a been built from the ground up over the last 15 years. ? Pictured below are 6 of the 8 female “Patches” who have graduated from the 26th: ? “G-Spot” – Patch #6 “Norris” – Patch #20 “Thunder” – Patch #33 “Peeps” – Patch #112 “SWAT” – Patch #139 “Houdini” – Patch #158

?? Shocking Cancellation: In February, the US Army announced the cancellation of the Future Attack and Reconnaissance Aircraft programme, a significant blow to Sikorsky which had invested in developing a next-generation aircraft to replace the UH-60 Blackhawk. ?? Downsizing: As a result, Sikorsky is reducing its workforce in Connecticut and elsewhere. Lockheed Martin, the parent company, said the layoffs will represent less than one percent of its total workforce of more than 100,000 employees nationwide. The layoffs will primarily affect Sikorsky's Stratford headquarters, with about 400 jobs lost in the state. ?? Sales Continue: Despite the cancellation of the programme, Sikorsky continues to sell various versions of the Black Hawk to the US military and armed forces around the world. Most recently, on 5 April, Lockheed Martin announced that Greece plans to purchase 35 Black Hawks. . . #westfaironline #weschester #mywestchester #westchesternyeats #westchestercountyny #westchesterny #westchesternewyork #westchesterrealestate #westchester #orangecountyny #westchesterlife #westchestereats #westchesterfood #whiteplains #westchestercounty #whiteplainsny #westchesternymoms?#newsday #newsflash #newsroom #todaysnews #todaynews #nationalnews #newsheadlines #latestnewstoday #breakingnewstoday

There is a lot we can learn from the Blue Angels. ?? One of my favorite days of the year watching them practice from the water in ?? Annapolis. Some say that the Blue Angels, a Navy flight demonstration squadron, teach lessons about teamwork, honesty, and excellence. Others say that the Blue Angels teach the following lessons about life: Work hard: The Blue Angels are considered the best of the best because they put in the time. Trust the team: The Blue Angels trust each other instinctively, even when flying at speeds of over 500 miles per hour and less than 100 feet off the ground. Be willing to adapt: The Blue Angels adapt their show to weather conditions and adjust their maneuvers based on what other pilots are doing. #lessons #blueangels #teammwork

Last year on Veterans Day, I wrote some reflections on my own service: https://bit.ly/3UM0Gvk This year, I’d like to make it a little more practical, and discuss for all of you employers out there why you might want to consider hiring a veteran. Virtually all veterans have four characteristics that make them valuable to all employers: teamwork, leadership, high levels of responsibility, and integrity. Let’s look at each in detail. TEAMWORK: Almost by definition, all members of the military work on a team to accomplish their organization’s mission. There are no solo operators. Working on a team means relying on the work of others and having others rely on their own work, critical skills in almost any workforce. This would also include building communications skills, the ability to see the big picture, and an understanding of how their own work product contributes to the larger strategy. LEADERSHIP: As a young officer right out of the Naval Academy, I was given the management responsibility of leading a fifteen-member team that ran the communications equipment on my first ship, the USS HIGGINS, a guided missile destroyer. And because the military works in a strict hierarchy, even enlisted sailors are given leadership responsibility – even if only over one or two other junior sailors – within their first four years in the Navy. HIGH LEVELS OF RESPONSIBILITY: From driving 500 foot long ships in constricted waters and even 1,000 yards behind an aircraft carrier, to launching heavy munitions (including the newsworthy Tomahawk missiles), to boarding ships going into and out of rogue states in the Middle East, to directing supersonic fighter aircraft, not to mention the management responsibilities discussed above, virtually all members of the military at all levels have had some experience with very important responsibility levels. INTEGRITY: Members of the military are trained to operate with integrity. Given the high levels of responsibility mentioned above, there is no room for integrity lapses that could get others killed, damage critical equipment, or put a mission at risk. As Veterans are considered a diverse group, I would encourage all employers out there to consider hiring veterans for these reasons.
