City of Riverside’s Post

Today, we honor and recognize the brave men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Their dedication, sacrifice, and commitment to protecting our freedoms and way of life are deeply appreciated. My Daddy served honorably and nobly in the Marine Corps, and is my favorite and special veteran of all times. There are approximately, 1.3 million active-duty service members and 767,238 national guard/reservist. Veterans make up 5.6% of the civilian workforce with fewer veterans in the labor force now than 20 years ago. Greater than 200,000 U.S. military service members transition to the civilian workforce annually. Each branch of the military—the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard, Space Force, and Nation Guard—focuses on specific domains, from land and sea to air and space operations. Despite the varying responsibilities of these branches, the experiences veterans share—whether they served in combat, logistics, or technical roles—equip them with skills that can be applied across multiple sectors. As we work to build a more inclusive workplace, it’s important to be intentional in understanding the contributions of veterans, with the goal of creating an environment where they feel engaged and can do their best work. #uhc #VeteransDay #ThankYouVeterans #HonorAndRespect

Today, we proudly honor and recognize the journey of our veteran leaders who have transitioned their commitment to service from the battlefield to the boardroom. Their journey reminds us that leadership forged in service is about more than titles—it’s a reflection of resilience, integrity, and an unwavering dedication to a purpose beyond oneself. At Naible, these values are at the heart of everything we do. As we work to shape the future of AI, we are guided by the same principles our veterans embody: a mission-driven focus that empowers us to push boundaries and build tools that elevate and expand human potential. Together, we’re not just advancing technology; we’re honoring the spirit of service by creating solutions that serve humanity. #VeteransDay #LeadershipForgedInService #HonoringHeroes #MissionDrivenLeadership #ServiceToInnovation #VeteranLeaders #AIForGood #NaibleProud #Innovation #ThankYouVeterans #BuildingTheFuture #HonorAndCommitment

To understand the rank of Fleet Admiral, one needs to consider the context of World War II. The United States was working alongside Allies who had higher ranks like Field Marshals and Fleet Admirals, which were superior to American ranks. To ensure American senior officers were not outranked, the United States established the ranks of Fleet Admiral and General of the Army, both five-star ranks. In total, nine men held these ranks. For the Navy, they were Nimitz, Halsey, King, and Leahy. In the Army, the five-star generals were Arnold, Eisenhower, Marshall, MacArthur, and Bradley.

Powerful story from DefenseScoop about how one Army General intends to use predictive AI for wargaming and ‘what-if’ scenarios— preparing decision makers for varied scenarios, risks, and outcomes. We've talked for a long time about the importance of leveraging predictive analytics -- table stakes for decision-advantage. Finding a path for the entire national security enterprise to tap into these resources is critical. And it’s not enough to simply focus on today’s threats. We must also focus on the probable threats of tomorrow. https://lnkd.in/eGxcgp29 — Dr. Anshuman Roy, Dr. Sangram Ganguly, Dr. Sarah Cowan, Abhishek, Tirthajyoti, Stan, Joe, HR, Syed, Ellen, David, Kelly

Sean Mahoney joined WIN Waste in March 2024 as a Performance Engineer and is a member of the WIN Military Community. In addition to his role at WIN, Sean serves as a Strategic Sealift Officer in the U.S. Navy Reserve, using his experience as a licensed Merchant Marine Officer to serve as an Engineering Officer aboard Combat Logistics Fleet ships. He also serves as a Tactical Advisor aboard merchant ships carrying military cargo, advising crews in contested maritime environments. With 7 years of service and 3 deployments, Sean’s military career has shaped his understanding of commitment, sacrifice, and resilience. ⭐Branch: U.S. Navy ⭐Rank: O-3 Lieutenant ⭐Years of service: 7 ⭐Deployments: Operation Karat 2018, Native Fury 2020, Defender Europe 2021, and multiple Joint Logistics Over the Shore exercises ❤️ What Sean wants those without military experience or connections to know: “Serving goes beyond just a career. It’s a life-defining commitment, and that commitment comes along with demands that are mental and emotional. Many veterans carry experiences that are challenging to explain, and adjusting to civilian life is an ongoing process. So, recognizing the sacrifices made by service members and their families is important and a willingness to listen can make a real difference.” 🤍 How the military has affected Sean’s personal life: “You spend a lot of time away from home, missing out on events and holidays. As a sailor, I spent a significant amount of time at sea and that can be extremely isolating. You often don’t have any kind of communication back home and are just no contact for long periods of time, which can be difficult for everybody. You may expect to return on a certain date, but it usually ends up being a lot longer than you planned. You kind of end up putting your life on hold until you get back, which can take a toll over time.” 💙 Sean’s perspective on transitioning back to civilian life: “It’s a big change going from that regimented lifestyle where everything is planned out and executed at a certain time to going to civilian work where there is more freedom and you’re more on your own. That took me awhile to get used to. As far as advice, don’t be afraid to ask questions as you learn how to adjust to that.” Thank you for your service, Sean. #VeteransDay #employeespotlight
