brock.j.young replied to the topic The Branch You Get in the forum Junior Officer 6 years, 1 month ago
I would add this; fine, you’ve gotten your branch and you didn’t want to be a (insert branch here). Well, do your best. Be the best (insert branch here); get great OERs; make a difference to those Soldiers who may not have had good leadership until that point…
And then re-branch.
I don’t know how hard it is in the AC, but in the Reserve Compo…[Read more]

brock.j.young replied to the topic Objective T and Detached Personnel in the forum Junior Officer 6 years, 2 months ago

From my experience, it will…[Read more]

brock.j.young replied to the topic New PT Test in the forum Junior Officer 6 years, 2 months ago
I’ve seen a lot of these come and go. The bottom line is that it’s going to be horrible for the Reserve Compo. The basic APFT is simple, but it’s supposed to be! With a minimum out put of resources and time, a commander can get a baseline as to the physical health of their element. It’s supposed to let you know if your Soldiers can survive the…[Read more]

Hi Chris!
I spent a few short stints at Fort Bliss our the past few years. I found life at Fort Bliss to be enjoyable. like many things in life, they are what you make of it. It’s warm, of course, but there’s plenty of things to do in the area. The food options in the area are top notch, there are a bunch of outdoor places to hike, explore and…[Read more]

tiarawalz replied to the topic How do you stay healthy? in the forum Junior Officer 6 years, 4 months ago

I have gotten Soldiers, Peers, and Coworkers to do some of these races with me too. It’s a lot of fun. Even when organized PT may disappear from the picture, working out is still a huge way to build teamwork, camaraderie, and…[Read more]
