Important day and a strong message delivered across the Maritime and Defence Industry. An improvement of the lived experience is desperately needed to encourage more personnel to join a thriving and exhilarating sector. Government’s 2050 Maritime Strategy is for 30% of the workforce to be female. Currently most organisations struggle to see double figures (standfast Royal Navy). We still struggle to see inclusion across the workforce with women frequently seen as being ‘less’ or a ‘nuisance’ through wishing for both family life and careers. The two are not mutually exclusive. I was one of those in my 20s who felt I just wanted to get on with my job and that everyone should be treated equally without getting involved in female specific organisations. I didn’t want to rock the boat and threw scorn on those who did. Now I am the one with humble pie finding myself with both childcare and career requirements. In the UK Merchant Navy >92% identify as white British male, more work needs to be done. I am proud of the work I do within the RFA as well as what I achieve in my seagoing career. It is better to inspire, empower and promote inclusion across the workforce to be stronger together.

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.

Building Trust: The Foundation of Unified, Innovative Teams In leadership, trust isn’t just a “nice-to-have” it’s the foundation of every successful team. Without trust, communication breaks down, silos form, and division thrives. But when trust is present, teams move with clarity, transparency, and a shared commitment to overcome challenges together. 🤝 The key to eliminating division lies in uniting around a clear mission and vision. 🌟 A team that understands the why behind their work stays focused, driven, and aligned. The mission gives us purpose, while the vision inspires us to reach for something greater. Together, they provide the compass 🧭 that guides every decision and action. But here’s the real magic: while alignment is crucial, it doesn’t mean we all have to think the same way. Diversity of personalities and perspectives is the secret sauce of innovation. ✨ The extrovert brings energy 🔥, the introvert offers depth 🌊. The visionary sees the big picture 🎯, while the detail-oriented teammate ensures every step is solid ✅. Each personality, each strength, adds value. As leaders, it’s our responsibility to celebrate these differences, ensuring they enhance, not hinder, collaboration. When we foster mutual respect and value every voice, we create a culture where trust and innovation thrive. 🚀 💡 Trust fuels the team. 💡 The mission and vision provide the direction. 💡 Diverse personalities power the journey. Together, such teams don’t just succeed, they transform. Let’s lead with trust, embrace differences, and stay united in purpose. That’s how we change the game. 🌍 #Leadership #Trust #Innovation #Teamwork #MissionDriven 💼

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.
