What six words would you use to describe your transition from the military to civilian life? Check out Episode 1 of Veteran CEO Magazine: Lessons from an Army Attack Helicopter Pilot; Bob Hastings on YouTube!

Every episode of Veteran CEO (VCEO) Magazine starts with the ask, "Please describe your transition from the military in six words or fewer." I do this to give a broad and complex subject focus. It's a useful technique to give an interview direction and avoid getting "off subject." What six words would you use to describe your transition from the military to civilian life? Episode 1 of VCEO is available to watch on YouTube. Check out the story of former attack helicopter pilot, Bob Hastings. www.vceomagazine.com

Ryan Ehinger, Bell's Program Director for US Army's Future Long Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA), provides an update as Bell tracks towards Milestone B in supporting Army transformation. He identifies 2 x speed/range as 'a huge part of the value proposition in increasing soldier lethality'. Ryan sees 'a new future' where the baseline will be modular open systems and digital design tools, alongside improved relationships with suppliers. Manufacturers of current generation aircraft are already adapting to prepare for MOSA architecture - but they will never overcome the physical barriers around speed/range. For sure, we can anticipate that these technologies (tilt rotor and traditional rotary wing) will co-exist side by side for many years - the new and the old working side-by-side. But as militaries recognise the transformation that only tiltrotor can bring - and what this means for vast open regions such as the IndoPacific - expect to see a transformation in operations such as has not been possible since the helicopter was first invented.

Modern soldiers are carrying too much weight. But we seem to have predicted this 50 years ago. I wonder what would happen if we banned the use of vehicles to transport infantryman on base and made them walk everywhere. Would that be the solution to the problem by teaching them how to truly "fight light"? "With increasing use of armored personnel carriers and helicopters to deliver the combat infantryman into contact with the enemy, he may do less approach marching in the 1980-1990 time-frame and thereby lose the opportunity to learn, by necessity, to limit his load and discard nice but not really necessary items. Thus he may be brought into actual combat carrying the extra food, magazines, souvenirs, and the like which in older days he would have discarded during the approach march."[1] [1] Stephen J. Kennedy, Ralph Goldman, and John Slauta, The Carrying of Loads within an Infantry Company (Natick, MA: United States Army Natick Laboratories, 1973), 25.

Did you know that Jeeps have a fascinating history? One interesting fact about our beloved Jeep is despite the widely held belief that Jeeps were named such because the U.S. Army referred to them as "Government Purpose" or "General Purpose" vehicles (G.P.), the term "jeep" was in use by Army personnel as early as 1914, long before the Jeep as we know it was put into service during World War II. #JeepHistory #FunFact Please share if you like this and let our team know where we can help find the best talent for your organization OR help you with your professional transition.
