ae_rollinson started the topic SFRG is the new FRG in the forum Junior Officer 4 years, 11 months ago
Who’s read the new Army Directive on changes to FRG to the now Soldier and Family Readiness Group Program? See attached if you haven’t.

Here’s a brief highlights of some changes:
- FRGs will now be referred to as SFRG, “Changing the name critically links the Soldier’s readiness to the Family. It also ensures that commanders incorporate all u…

Whew!! ~10 miles on a the bike w/ resistance, ~4 mile row, or 3/4 mile swim. Yeeehaw! That’s kicking it for 25 mins (or less).

These are great, Tiara! I’ve heard these so many times I had forgotten they were all Colin Powell. Which one resonates with you?
ae_rollinson started the topic Being Married in the Army in the forum Junior Officer 5 years ago

Are you getting married soon? Are you a newlywed? If so, then how are you managing and balancing (or planning to) family life with Army life!

What’s a recent stressor? What’s something you think you’ve got down pat for work-family balance?

If you need a little more to think about, check out this previous post about Dual-Military family…[Read more]

@vmabshire I have a couple of great answer gather from other Reserve Compo Professionals.

Please bared with me as I post each answer…there is great information in all, hope it helps!

1. Is the whole BN being stood up? The BDE should be putting people on ADOS- or TPU’s from the BN- to do this. There is a unit in my building being stood up…[Read more]

Bringing this discussion back!

Company commanders, anything new to add?

How has recent strategic guidance (Large-scale combat ops, Focus on China/Russia, focus on ‘expeditionary’ etc) impacted your command or unit?

george.l.gurrola replied to the topic Turn the Ship Around! Final Week Discussion in the forum Junior Officer 5 years ago

– What are your first steps toward leader-leader?

The author said it best, “each organization is different and unique. The people making up the organization have different backgrounds and a different level of tolerance for empowerment.” Given that view, leader-leader model starts with assessing yourself, how you (as a leader) fit in your…[Read more]
george.l.gurrola started the topic JO and strategy in the forum Junior Officer 5 years, 1 month ago

I found this article relevant to the conversation here at JO Fourm. I think junior officers have become more curious and yearned for more conversations at the strategic level. Yet, our professional military education limits this type of development until later.

Are any junior officers discussing strategy at their units?

“Recently, though, the…[Read more]

ae_rollinson replied to the topic Turn the Ship Around! Week 6 Discussion in the forum Junior Officer 5 years, 1 month ago

Where can you personally learn in your organization right now?

My “organization” looks a bit different right now since I am in graduate studies. What’s been a great learning experience for me has been encountering many of my peers who are on the LGBTQIA+ spectrum. I had not encountered many diverse gender identities or sexual expressions in…[Read more]

Aloha! This is what I was able to gather from my husband who has ran this type of ranges.

Hope it helps!

“The attached Range cards (EXAMPLES) is what we utilize to qualify the gunners and assistant gunners on the Crew serve weapons in my unit.

They are both from TC 3-22×50 for the M2 Machine Gun and TC.

If you follow the ammo breakdown and…[Read more]
ae_rollinson replied to the topic Turn the Ship Around! Week 2 Discussion in the forum Junior Officer 5 years, 2 months ago

I come at motivating my subordinates from a side angle – I forbid then from using the word “just”. “I’m just a LT #pull the LT card”, “I’m just a SPC #ShameShield”. Frequently when in a position of Staff OIC (and I’d say as officers in general), we’re the newbies in the room. The NCOS and Soldiers have been there sometimes years ahead of us. …[Read more]
george.l.gurrola replied to the topic Assignments for JO Development (February 2019 JO Jam) in the forum Junior Officer 5 years, 3 months ago

The question is how do you define the term “best” for developing officers. Is it promotion to Cpt, promotion to major? For branches such as infantry where most of their soldiers are located at the brigade and below level, I think you absolutely have to serve in a maneuver brigade within your first 2 duty assignments.
