U.S. Army Contracting Command - Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG)’s Post

Had a wonderful visit today with CSM Brandt, the U.S. Army Recruiting Command (USAREC) 1st Recruiting Brigade CSM. He was kind enough to help me out with a favor, and we talked about how the USMEPCOM surge of personnel to assist with processing has helped out. Love when the DMPM and other agencies can make a positive impact to the force! That is what it is all about, ensuring we make a difference. #ilovemyjob #beallyoucanbe #thenextgreatestgenerationisnow #whatdidyoudotoday?

This is leadership, Mission and Installation Contracting Command. Contracting is not simply another job. Contracting is a mission. For all my fellow veterans out there, you know how important the mission is. Above all, we serve the Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Airmen, Coast Guardsmen, and Guardians. There are many competing interests in the world of contracting, but one interest should always be at the forefront and guide all decision-making: the service members. Col. Adams exemplifies true leadership by putting them first. Supporting the mission and resourcing our service members is what contracting is all about. As an ol’ former Army Infantry Captain now at Camp Lejeune supporting the Marine Corps contracting mission, I am proud to see that the Army has its priorities exactly where they need to be. #contracting #governmentcontracting #leadership

Army leadership at a round table: Hey guys we should really think how we can improve the three tenants of fitness: Physical/Mental/Spiritual. 1.     Maybe we can stablish a 24hr gym access on every military installation. Monthly gym vouchers for those not near a military installation i.e. Recruiters, Nat. Guard, Reserves. 2.     An incentive/reward program for fitness achievements such as high fitness scores, weight loss goals, etc. You know what Soldiers love the most? (Time off & Money) 3.     We could do a study on the food we are serving at the Chow Halls. Let’s figure out why Service members rather eat out than eat at our facilities. 4.     We need to compare notes with our sister services and find out what has work for them and what has not? I’m pretty sure every branch has spent millions of dollars on this type of research, and we could share the information based on lessons learn. The SOF community has been doing this type of research for years and they are some of the most elite warrior athletes in the world. Let’s reach out…. Army leadership: Guys, all those are great but…. You know what. I got it… A new PT Uniform…that’s what we need. ‘If we’re going to be fit, then we’re also going to look good’ New generation of leaders, same old concepts and mentality. Just re-brand the old ideas in a new Power-Point… Stick to basics. Good order and discipline. Get rid of death weight (career Officers & NCO’s just coasting until retirement) Promote talent, reward competence and effectiveness. Reward hard work, discipline, and those who go the extra mile… Figure out how to fix the recruiting of quality and qualified people. Invest in your junior Soldiers early on so they don’t leave… Great talent leaves our ranks daily because lack of opportunities, family stability, and disparity in pay between the Civ population and the Mil… Invest in engraining patriotism back in our communities… 

Adopting and adapting a solid Strategy of Security-Defence-War !

From SMA Michael R. Weimer's latest NCO Journal article: "Combat Doesn't Care: How Ready Are You?" A hard truth from combat: Our team landed in the wrong spot. Enemy fire everywhere. Foreign fighters with night vision closing in. No backup coming. We made it because we trained hard before that moment. But here's what keeps me up at night: Large-scale combat will hit different than our past 20 years. WWII: 400,000 U.S. casualties Iraq/Afghanistan: 7,054 casualties The next fight brings: - No 1-hour medical evacuation - No secure bases - No Amazon deliveries - No time to get ready Look at Ukraine. The battlefield exposes weakness fast. The undisciplined die first. Your Soldiers need you to: 1. Master fundamentals 2. Build real readiness 3. Train like lives depend on it 4. Prepare families before deployment 5. Stop taking the easy path Leadership truth: Discipline happens before battle or not at all. Question for leaders: Are you truly ready right now? Or do you need a warm-up target? The enemy won't give you one.

Brilliant team building and physical training at scale! 4th Infantry Divison out of Fort Carson, Colorado commemorated D-Day by hosting a PT session for all 12,000 troops! Over multiple obstacles of tank ditches, walls, mud, wire crawls, and more, units competed to finish first carrying water cans, stretchers, and other heavy items! This is an incredibly creative way to build teams, foster competition, improve fitness and resiliency, and increase moral. Most of all, this event will be talked about the rest of their lives. This kind of team building isn't limited to the military. With a little creativity, it can be applied to any organization -- with a great risk mitigation plan :) I challenge all of us to do this at our scale. I know I'm thinking of ways to pull it off!

3x Combat ARMY veteran with a Bronze Star in combat! Be careful who you judge! We talk about wanting to be a part of the United States Army and the new recruiting system. We discuss how other countries require mandatory military service, and how that can make people better. We emphasize that joining the Army doesn't change who you are, but rather helps you become more educated and understand important life lessons, like pre-combat checks and inspections. The key message is that by changing your algorithm, you can change your life. US Army Jared Jerrick, PMP #Army #Recruiting #LifeLessons #PersonalGrowth #Algorithm
