SSV's newest partner is the U.S. Army Reserve's Private Public Partnership (P3) making SSV an official national career resource for any soldier (and their families) currently or previously serving in the U.S. Army Reserve. According to James King, SSV's Chief Programs Officer, "This partnership will expand SSV's reach into the all-important reserve component of the U.S. Army throughout the country. This partnership is additional validation of SSV's Veteran Career & Transition expertise." SSV is thrilled to grow our reach and serve more deserving service members!

I highly recommend accessing these and seeing what our competitive writters are writting about, how they are writting, and consider what your topic would be for next year. Just doing the first two will make you better in your profession. What topics are we missing?

Really interesting 5 minutes there. Listening to this it occurs to me that there is so much to be learned from the experiences and successes of the military reserve services by other volunteer centred national service provision organisations like the RNLI, NHS responders, Retained and volunteer Fire and Rescue, local resilience volunteers, Coastguard, and close to my heart, Police Special Constables. Likewise all these bodies and groups have their own successes and learnings that could well benefit others. There is talk of the world entering a pre war era of increased instability, of a public struggling with its mental health and sense of self worth, of the lack of funds available for supporting the fabric of society, that makes me think that perhaps now is a time to move the experience of volunteering and professional parallel employment and take these to another level and lessen risks posed by future conflicts by increasing the sense of purpose and resilience of our population personally and society generally. A multidisciplinary leadership group with representatives across different sectors, including government, military, third sector, healthcare and private sector, would allow all to improve both their own offerings and the services they deliver in the short term and look strategically contribute to a more robust nation. Thoughts anyone?

A physical object can be a powerful reminder of your values and potential. I’ve started wearing my military ID tags daily. In the past, it was just a uniform item. Now I wear them to remind me of important things. ID tags are important tokens for US Army Soldiers for several reasons. They: 🎫 denote membership in a tight community of buddies who always have your back. 🤝 provide important information to others who can help you during times when you might not be fully able to help yourself. 🇺🇸 are firm reminders of your faith and commitment to your team and your values. What do you turn to as a reminder of your potential, worth, skills, or strengths? United States Army Reserve

Answering this mornings post from our Regimental Chief Warrant Officer (RCWO) CW5 Willie Gadsden Jr, LSSMBB As we start this new week, let’s focus on what we can achieve together. Each of us brings unique strengths and skills that, when combined, make us unstoppable. Remember, every goal we set isn’t just an individual milestone; it’s part of the greater success we’re all working towards. Let’s approach this week with dedication, resilience, and a sense of unity. Lift each other up, celebrate the small wins, and don’t hesitate to lean on one another when challenges arise. The road ahead may have obstacles, but together, there’s nothing we can’t accomplish. How did I get after this? While deployed to Europe supporting our European Allies and Partners is a benefit I get to see very closely. I had a great conversation with Polish Lieutenant on how partners within the Polish Div share understanding over a map and the benefit of having both digital and physical maps. 1st Cavalry Division, U.S. Army US Army Corps of Engineers 36th Engineer Brigade, U.S. Army #bustingcapsandmakingmaps #firsttoknowwithmaps #essayons #firstteam

On April 23, 1908, Congress created the Medial Reserve Corps, the official predecessor of the Army Reserve. Following World War I, under the National Defense Act of 1920, Congress reorganized the United States land forces by authorizing a Regular Army, a National Guard, and an Organized Reserve (Officer Reserve Corps and Enlisted Reserve Corps) of thirty-five divisions, which later became the Army Reserve. This provided a peacetime pool of trained Reserve officers and enlisted men for use in war. The Army Reserve Corps of Medical Officers was created with 160 physicians; 116 years later, there are more than 200,000 Reservists in more than 148 fields that may be called to action when their country requires their service. #Happybirthday #armyreserves #NICoE #DefenseIntrepidNetwork #DIN
