Peace Corps’ Post

Reunions with fellow Marines are important. Unlike those boring high school reunions where you struggle to find anything to talk about with a bunch of people who just can’t relate to who you are, reunions with fellow Marines are a true reuniting with friends and comrades who have done what you have done, been where you have been, and truly understand you. Marine reunions strengthen ties with your fellow Marines and provide a place where you can talk about your experience with people who understand. They reconnect you with a meaningful time in your life and with the group of people who shared that time. Interested in planning a reunion? Check out the Marine Corps Reunion Toolkit (link to toolkit). See the chronological list of upcoming reunions, provided courtesy of the Marine Corps Association and Foundation. Have one to add?

ARMY DEPLOYS OPERATIONS CENTER TO PHILIPPINES Fort Magsaysay, Philippines. (June 17, 2024): In the event of war, how do you set up a command center in the middle of dense jungle halfway around the world? In this photo by Staff Sgt. Thomas Moeger, Sergeant Ratu Komaisavai fires his weapon during a simulated engagement in the jungles of the Philippines during Joint Pacific Multinational Readiness Center-Exportable (JPMRC-X). The concept is to create a “deployable” package of personnel and equipment that can be dispatched to establish Joint Operating Centers (JOC) to run military exercises anywhere in the world.

Happy #PeaceCorpsDay 🌎 The Peace Corps was established in 1961 to promote world peace through overseas assistance. The experience of the Peace Corps in #Korea is particularly emblematic of how overseas development transforms not just the recipient nation, but also the donor country, and how it can set the stage for wider cooperation to help people in need elsewhere in the world. 💬 So, what are some of the achievements of Peace Corps Korea? 💬 What are some of the legacies it left behind, and what lessons can be applied to today’s challenges? https://lnkd.in/eE4AXgdm

New Sherrif in Town??? As tensions in the Middle East continue to rise, China has taken a definitive step by deploying six warships to the region. Reports confirm that the 44th naval escort taskforce, hailing from the People's Liberation Army Eastern Theatre, arrived in Oman last week. Following a successful joint exercise with the Omani navy, the Chinese warships set sail once again on Saturday, their destination undisclosed. Join me live today @ 1215 (CST) https://lnkd.in/e8m9x7s4 as I provide you with my analysis about this significant development given how this move signifies China's growing assertiveness on the global stage and certainly signal a shift in the geopolitical dynamics of the region. With this strategic naval deployment to the Middle East, China clearly aims to showcase its military capabilities and demonstrate its increasing influence as a major player in international affairs. Furthermore, this move sends a clear message to the United States that its long-standing dominance in the Middle East is gradually coming to an end.  #China #NavalDeployment #MiddleEast #TensionsMount #InternationalRelations #MilitaryConflict #Geopolitics #GlobalNavies #SecurityConcerns #MilitaryStrategy #PowerProjection #GeopoliticalShifts #EastAsia #MiddleEastPolitics #NavalPower #WorldAffairs #RegionalTensions #MaritimeSecurity #GlobalPolitics #InternationalConflict

It's hard to properly communicate just how much I learned from my time in the Marines. I learned so much—both personally and professionally. One major quality I developed during my time in the Marines was definitely adaptability. Marines operate in diverse and dynamic environments, requiring the ability to adapt quickly to changing circumstances. This ability to adapt quickly and effectively was not only beneficial in the Marines... it also impacts my daily life now. We live in a constantly evolving world, and my Marines experience has taught me that it's important to get ahead of change instead of trying to catch up with it. #Marines #MarineLessons #AdapableLeadership
