@cpth, welcome to Junior Officer! I was wondering when others from the CA Guard were going to show up. There are a couple of us who have joined, but not near as many as there should be. One more is always good!

In the book “Part-Time Command, Full-Time Responsibility: How to Successfully Lead a Company in the Army National Guard,” the author Charles (Chuck) Holmes, gives a decent account as to some of the challenges faced by the “Part-Time” commander, who is responsible for their company 100% of the time. However, that was 2009, and here it is 2017; some…[Read more]

brock.j.young started the topic Leadership Assignment Selection – How are they selected? How do you prepare? in the forum Junior Officer 8 years, 2 months ago
Depending on your branch and state, selection for leadership assignments can take many forms. In CA, they take the shape branch specific “Advisory Councils” where the senior representatives of the various branches get together with a list of all of the senior 1LTs and up, and decide “where they go next.” What company commands are available; what…[Read more]

Vanessa, sorry for piling on late. I brough a senior rater philosophy to my organization. If its not too late, ask what the SR philosophy is. In my case it had more to deal with team work, innovation, and ability to grow. Things like APFT and performance were expected.
If you’d like a copy of mine, I can zip it your way.

gary.m.klein replied to the topic Social Media and Leadership in the forum Junior Officer 8 years, 3 months ago
I agree with some of the other contributors who mention the need to model proper behavior. We need to be weary of the idea that we (leaders) can chose to not participate or ignore social media and just avoid the problem all together.
Although not everyone will be interested, I personally share my opinions on how to use social media as a…[Read more]

Chad,
I just posted a Brigade Resilience, Risk Reduction, and Suicide Prevention (R3SP) SOP I put together a couple of years ago, that contains a couple of BDs for Soldiers deaths, suicides and attempts.
Take a look.

tiarawalz replied to the topic Common mistakes for PT? in the forum Junior Officer 8 years, 3 months ago
The biggest mistake I see people make with their PT is not teaching their Soldiers how to work out. One of the craziest things we do in the military is run PT programs for Soldiers with no education background in physical fitness, exercise science, or personal training. There is a reason musculoskeletal issues make up the biggest amount of…[Read more]

I love this story!! We plan, we train, we achieve! Isn’t that what our mission is all about? I love using fitness as a tool to watch growth happen across all facets- personally and professionally.

tiarawalz replied to the topic How do you use fitness to bond with your Soldiers? in the forum Junior Officer 8 years, 3 months ago
That’s so awesome to hear. I think there is a lot more personal responsibility that has to happen in the Guard. Kudos to you and your leadership for continously seeking out milestones to achieve together, on and off duty. We are better when we suffer together. Or when we exercise together- depending on how you want to look at that, haha!
