To wake up and hear the news that we lost another United States Marine from our unit (2nd Battalion 7th Marines) is gut wrenching. This marks #59 to date and nothing about this makes it easy to stomach. #RIPClintStephens Everyone has a role to play- small things are BIG! As a great colleague of mine has shared (Matthew Miller, PHD, MPH) "we must "humbly increase knowledge beyond what we think we "know", broaden awareness beyond personal biases, and enhance our ability to deliver inclusive prevention, intervention, and postvention programs for ALL Veterans. Emphasizing that suicide is preventable, the event underscored the need for a public health approach that considers both individuals and communities." We as a community must continue to leverage our relationships, our networks, our resources.. you name it we must amplify the **** out of all of them! Use every channel possible to share! So my personal invitation and #CALLTOACTION to everyone within my network is to commit to one or more of these 6 things: 1) Find your buddies and reach out! 2) Sign up to take the pledge to talk to ten or more and reach out. Take the Pledge:https://lnkd.in/gy7yYCWm 3) Download and share the Buddy Check Outreach Kit: https://lnkd.in/gjFXbW_b 4) Take the training: https://lnkd.in/g9S8MBPv https://lnkd.in/gcAxB8sP 5) Attend the National Peer to Peer Q&A on RallyPoint, August 22nd @1-2pm ET: https://lnkd.in/gprA6YKv 6) Start a Veterans Social: https://lnkd.in/gFTWr7XG #SuicideisPreventable #Community #Relationships #BuddyCheck #Veterans #VHV #TILLVALHALLA

A valuable morning and a real opportunity to gain insight into the recruitment challenges our services face post-pandemic.

The United States Marine Corps Commandant, General Eric Smith, presented a great civilian model for #resilience. Great meeting and perfect timing with #IndependenceDay. What will help America move forward and stay ahead? It’s not a “me” mentality on how much can I make, how much can I sell, how much can I buy. General Smith made this abundantly clear immediately as well as wove it through his presentation and answers to questions. Our nation has acted with collaboration in times of #disaster. Post #Hurricane Katrina, the nation (and world) came to the aid of the City of New Orleans to rebuild and renew. How did that happen? People #respond to what matters to them. Though the greater #community deployed with a nation of #service mentality – it’s not just #ArmedForces or #FirstResponders. While we need those who answer that call on a 24/7/365 basis, we need to have everyone thinking about others every day. It can be small as in a small act of kindness – sharing an explanation to a neighbor child on your expertise, giving your old books for a non-profit sale that supports their mission, dedicating time to feed the hungry at an outreach event. (See the trend: in no way is it all about the Benjamins – aka money for my non-American network.) #ForceDesign has many meanings – words are important. It’s how you integrate with others that makes the whole #stronger. While we each have special talents, another recent LinkedIn post about hope used the phrase “it’s a belief in all of us over none of us.” (Amen, Misaha Suzuki Graham.) Another post discussed overcoming horrible circumstances and coming back together “trying different methods and approaches.” (Inspiration and eloquence while recognizing historical pain, Van Jones.) How do you give strength to what makes America different from all other nations and distinguishes our democracy from other models? Thank you, The Brookings Institution, for another thought-provoking inspiring discussion! Visit here to view the replay: https://lnkd.in/gzk2Df42

May we never forget that freedom isn't free. Today we give our deepest gratitude to those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. As we honor those we have lost, we also recognize the important role our military plays as a conservation partner. Covering approximately 27 million acres of land, our nation’s military bases help support ecologically important habitats. One great example is Fort Riley, a five-square-mile Army base in the Flint Hills of Kansas. In addition to the Army’s First Infantry Division, Fort Riley hosts a population of greater prairie-chickens, which, like other grassland-obligate species, thrive in treeless grasslands. In this Ask an Expert, WLFW-supported researcher Caleb Roberts discusses how spatial targeting can be used to safeguard critical lek locations that become abandoned when pressured by woody expansion.

INTERIM GUIDANCE ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SKILLBRIDGE PROGRAM - USMC #dodskillbridge Link in the comments.

If you recall a few months ago, the United States Marine Corps released their latest #DoDSkillBridge instruction which mirrored the Navy's. It was rescinded within a few days because it wasn't actually "approved". Well, now it is approved. Most of us think about #SkillBridge from the service member perspective. But there are other perspectives to consider... ? The military will remain the military, and each CO has a certain level of readiness to maintain with their Unit ? #SkillBridgeOpportunities are a luxury and not a right. Each service member should understand that they'll be transitioning at some point, and utilize the other programs available to them (i.e. COOL) in order to best prepare themselves for Life 2.0 ???? While I won't ague against the need for transitioning resources for the military community, what other industry / job / or company do you know of that is willing to pay you full-time and not receive any immediate benefit from doing so?? It's not cheap to keep a service member employed and not receive a direct benefit of their employment ?? There's still a need for the DOD to narrow down who should be participating in the program. #SkillBridge wasn't designed to support 200K #TransitioningServiceMembers each year. It was originally designed to support service members who have MOS's that don't specifically translate into civilian work. If you do cyber, and want to continue doing cyber post military, consider your #SkillBridge approval a gift. If you're a tank driver, or Boatswain Mate, #SkillBridge was designed for you. Thoughts on the new instruction?
