In my new Business Insider documentary about the US Marine Corps Basic School, commissioned officers step into the shoes of the enlisted Marines they will be commanding in realistic combat scenarios. There are lots of management and leadership lessons here that are applicable far beyond the military world. Watch the full video here: 🎥 https://lnkd.in/eBseTcnS

This is Space Force Junior ROTC Encouraging Future "Leaders of Character" for the Nation The entire Space Force JROTC enterprise wants to send its best wishes to the graduates in the Class of 2024 from all the high schools of the Air Force Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (AFJROTC), which includes the current program of ten #SFJROTC units, who are going through their basic cadet training now as a member of the Class of 2028 at the United States Air Force Academy. The mission of the Air Force and Space Force JROTC programs is to create "citizens of character" for their communities. The mission of the Air Force Academy is to create "leaders of character" for the United States Air Force and United States Space Force and the nation. #CharacterAboveAll #IntegrityFirst

Leadership Thoughts for Pride Month There has been a lot of backlash lately about a Navy Special Warfare Command (i.e., SEALs) Facebook post that featured the words, "NSW DIGNITY SERVICE RESPECT EQUALITY PRIDE" on a rainbow flag. Considering the "team" mentality of NSWG, I am surprised that the current NSWG leadership endorses this approach. The problem with this post is not the Navy's position on LGBTQIA+ sailors, but rather, it the the fact that we recognize them as a distinct group. This flies in the face of every aspect of our military and Navy training. We are taught and trained to look past our differences and focus on our mission. We function best as a team, not as individuals. We seek values that unite us, not divide us. HONOR. COURAGE. COMMITMENT. Those are the Navy's core values and our focus. We must not divide ourselves by heritage, education, politics, race, religion, or sexual orientation. Celebrating any grouping of servicemembers is divisive and only serves to weaken our team. When building a successful team, focus on the values that unite; not those which divide. #NAVY #CNO #NSWG #SEALS #LEADERSHIP #NAVYSPECIALWARFARE #MILITARY #PAO #PUBLICAFFAIRS #NAVYPUBLICAFFAIRS #KEITHDAVIDS #ANDYSCHREINER #DAVIDMARKLE #WALTERDITTMAR

As we continue to navigate the complexities of military operations and leadership in the modern era, the Abbey Gate tragedy offers profound lessons on the weight of command decisions and the critical importance of strategic foresight. This article delves into the intricacies of military doctrines, leadership traits, and the need for adaptability in the face of unforeseen challenges. It serves as a reminder of the responsibilities that come with military leadership and the imperative to prioritize the protection and success of our forces. Join me in reflecting on these vital lessons as we honor those who served and sacrificed at Abbey Gate. https://lnkd.in/eaRbpxTc

Ever wondered why Danger Solutions was formed or why we are different from other companies? This came up again today in a LinkedIn discussion about the use of paintball rather than a proper training solution, so if you’re interested - here’s why we exist: The Australian Army is fantastic at soldiering. But the Army's understanding of what solutions exist to help with soldiering can be limited, because they're not involved in international Defence industry, they don’t attend all the conventions and speak with all the companies - how are they meant to know all of the cutting edge solutions out there? Danger Solutions was formed to find solutions to problems that Defence Australia has, that our international partners may have already worked out. We think we can solve some of these problems in Australia and if it’s solved by something we don't have, we will tell you who does and where you can get it. We are hoping that over time, end-users will call Danger Solutions looking for a solution for a problem, and we can assist, educate, provide or refer them to solve these problems and assist in the enhancement and development of Defence capability as a trusted industry partner. So if you have a problem and if no one else can help, maybe you can contact Danger Solutions. 😝 #TheATeam #TrainAsYouFight #DangerSolutions 🔺🔺🔺

Why don’t elite soldiers like Navy SEALs or Delta Force operators have physiques like Dwayne Johnson or Vin Diesel? Meet Command Sgt. Major Michael Vining, one of the original members of Delta Force and a true legend in the world of special operations. Despite his unassuming appearance, he stands as one of the most skilled and effective warriors to ever wear the uniform. In the real world, you don’t need to look like a Hollywood action star to get the job done. Success in high-stakes operations is about discipline, intelligence, and skill—not biceps and camera-ready physiques. Take a moment to reflect on this: underestimating someone based on appearance can be a costly mistake. Command Sgt. Major Vining’s story is proof that quiet professionalism and capability far outweigh the flashiness of appearance. #Leadership #SpecialOperations #Professionalism

⚓📘Mini- Review: Surf When You Can by Captain (Navy) Brett Crozier. I couldn’t put this book down! If you are in search of an engaging and insightful read about naval operations, especially concerning blue water maneuvers, “Surf When You Can” is an excellent choice. The author, a Senior Navy Officer, recounts his life journey from childhood to his final moments using the ship’s brow after successfully leading over 1,200 Sailors onboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt. Despite his achievements, Navy Captain Crozier candidly acknowledges his shortcomings as a Commanding Officer, particularly in addressing the fallout from COVID-19, which ultimately cost him his job. In each chapter, he introduces various concepts to help readers understand his experiences and emphasizes how these can be applied as leadership skills. Additionally, he offers valuable insights for future fighter pilots. Stay tuned for my full review, but in the meantime, I highly recommend this book to those aspiring to become the Chief of the Naval Staff. 🦅
