https://lnkd.in/eE7XZ3bV Ever wonder what it's like to become a Marine Officer? A great video from Business Insider shows insight into our foundational training. The video is informative to many, familiar to some, and patriotic to most. It's 40 minutes, so block some time while you eat lunch. (Yes, I had the white uniform in the grainy video. No, I didn’t have the white skivvy shirts – but those guys trained me.)   A quote from the video: “He was part of something great.”  United States Marine Corps; Marine Corps Recruiting; @Marine Corps Recruting @www.marines.com

Title: Examining the Influence of SkillBridge Opportunities on Marine Corps Retention Rates In conversations within our community, a topic of significant interest and importance has surfaced: the availability and promotion of SkillBridge opportunities for service members, particularly in the Marine Corps. SkillBridge, a program aimed at providing service members with work experience during their last 180 days of service, serves as a crucial tool for transition, offering both training and job prospects beyond the military. However, murmurs and concerns have begun regarding whether there may be an effort within units or command structures to restrict these opportunities subtly. Recall: At one point, the Marine Corps was explicit with this campaign when they published an order in Oct 2023 to only be rescinded after 2 weeks after intense backlash. The fundamental question revolves around whether this is an endeavor to enhance retention rates by retaining valuable personnel in the ranks, potentially at the expense of individual career progression and successful transition. Programs like SkillBridge are crafted to acknowledge the dedication and sacrifices made by personnel by ensuring they have opportunities as they move into civilian life. The Concerns at Hand; • Some may view restricting SkillBridge opportunities as favoring the organization's needs over aiding service members in their growth and post-military endeavors. • If these actions are indeed actual, they could potentially dampen morale. Go against the principle of supporting service members in transitioning to careers. (Ask for my Case Study 2023-2024 on 2dMLG and my experience)

Let me share a story that bridges the worlds of military service and powerline construction – a tale of teamwork, responsibility, and the shared commitment to safety. In my days as a Marine helicopter crewmember, the synergy within our crew was paramount. Whether officer or enlisted, each member had a role, and our collective success hinged on flawless coordination. We understood that every action had repercussions for the entire crew, emphasizing the importance of trust and shared responsibility. In the high-stakes environment of working with electricity, each line crew member, from foreman to groundman, plays a crucial part in the team's success and safety. It's not just about individual tasks; it's about a synchronized effort to ensure that every operation is executed with precision and adherence to safety protocols. Just like in the military, where crew coordination is the linchpin of mission success, your powerline construction crew relies on seamless teamwork. Trust is built on knowing that every member is dedicated to their role, understanding that safety is a collective responsibility. So, as we navigate the challenges of our work, let's carry forward the lessons from the military camaraderie. Embrace the unity, coordinate like a seasoned crew, and remember that each person's commitment to safety ensures the overall success of the team. Stay safe, stay coordinated, my friends! 🚁⚡ #LeadingSafeLinemen #Safety #Teamwork #UtilitySafety #Leadership https://lnkd.in/guHwgXuE
