Today, I had the opportunity to expand my knowledge on the U.S. Naval Community College. I encourage all Naval Leaders to read these interesting facts and nominate a creditable Sailor from their command. USNCC provides naval-relevant associate degree levels and stackable certificates in naval-relevant fields to enlisted service members. It became established in 2021 in order to progress war fighting skills capability. Partnering with regionally accredited universities, its goal is to remain responsive to the fleet through emerging Navy programs and needs such as leadership, engineering, data analytics, cybersecurity, aviation and many more. It does not limit service members to in rate only specific classes. It does not touch TA or GI Bill funding. It does not require a specific time in service. It’s 100% funded. To enroll: -command nomination or apply online -application screened -command approves -candidate notified of admissions and next steps

United States Marine Corps USMC Scout Sniper Association USMC Special Operations Marine Scout Sniper Heritage Foundation Recon & Sniper Foundation Rule 12- HAVE A DIVERSE CIRCLE: Surround yourself with people you don’t always agree with. Being constantly surrounded by people who see the world the same way you do is intellectual suicide. Knowledge is about perspective....the more perspectives you have, the deeper your knowledge will be. Listen to everyone’s ideas even if they seem stupid or backward and try to understand where they are coming from and how they arrived at their conclusion. You don’t need to agree with their thoughts, but you should ALWAYS attempt to see the world through their eyes. Perspective is the most fundamental component of knowledge and it is a vital aspect of leadership. #recon #sniper #sarc #reconMAN #scoutsniper #specialamphibiousreconnaissancecorpsman

USMC Reserve Leadership Collectives Lines of Effort: 1. Educate both Reserve and Active Component Marines on the intricacies and unique aspects of the Reserve Component. 2. Promote an inclusive community that advances continuous learning, growth and development among Reserve Officers. 3. Create an easily accessible and responsive community of Reserve Officer to support the advancement of education. 4. Serve as a facilitation platform to identify and address issues affecting the Reserve Component and their communities at the speed of need/relevance. 5. Facilitate mentorship opportunities for individuals of all ranks, specialties, and assignments. 6. Aid in seamless transitions between components; reduce Reserve community tensions. 7. Provide holistic experience-based support to Reserve Officers navigating the challenges of both military and civilian professions as well as personal and family lives. 8. Provide the Marine Corps establishment insights and access to a large community of Reserve Officers in an informal manner, thereby improving communication and fostering retention in the Marine Corps Reserve.

Saw this in an email this morning. Fascinating. Human Factors in Combat: A groundbreaking course at the Naval Academy  As future officers of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps prepare to face the complexities of modern warfare, a unique course at the U.S. Naval Academy is helping midshipmen address one of the most critical yet overlooked aspects of combat — the human element. The Human Factors in Combat course, now in its second semester, explores the physical, psychological, and emotional challenges faced by service members in combat environments. The course is designed to equip midshipmen with the tools needed to lead effectively in the most stressful of circumstances. Capt. Andrew Ledford, a professor at the Naval Academy and the lead instructor for the course, highlighted its importance in shaping future leaders. ”It's the human factors piece that is really, really difficult to discuss,” Ledford said. “But it's really, really important.” (usna.edu) Rafael Matos, Ph.D.

Recruiting is a leadership trait. After 28 years in the Marine Corps, this remains on of my favorite photos. That is a SgtMaj, (the senior enlisted rank) sitting on the floor comparing ribbons with a 2 year old. Leadership is an all the time thing. This photo is why America will have a Marine Corps for years to come. What does recruitment of talent look like in your field? CommandReady #leadership #marines #recruiting #talent #retention
