*Pointless Skills Gained From A Military Career* Friday rambles whilst on another train to London. We always talk about the transferable skills that benefit a career pivot from Military to civilian. But what about the skills that you mastered whilst in, that have little value now... I'll start with my 5 - 1️⃣ Eating your food really quick - that skill never fades. 2️⃣ Avoiding walking on the grass or putting hands in pockets. - oh those warm fleeced lined beauties! 3️⃣ Use of the phonetic alphabet - works 10% of the time. 4️⃣ Judging travel plans based on AFT or PFA timings. (PFT/BFT/SCR/RFT - combinations for all generations) 5️⃣ Enduring quick witted comebacks - 'my teas a salad' 'you're in your own time now' '10 times round my beautiful body' etc etc. What ones would you add? I'm sure there's a difference between Army, Navy and RAF. #military #serviceleavers #Fridayrambles

🫡 The experiences and skill sets of veterans is often overlooked… Translating military expertise into civilian terms can be a challenge. The depth of responsibilities and leadership cultivated in the military is sometimes hard to convey. Take it from my own journey as a brand new 2nd Lieutenant at just 22 years old in 2015. Imagine being tasked with the responsibility of 38 soldiers, ranging from 18 to 45 years old. A diverse team with varying deployment experiences, all looking to you for guidance. Many harbored preconceived notions about my role as a fresh Lieutenant from ROTC - so trust and respect weren't freely given - I had to earn every bit of it. But that was just the beginning. On top of leading that team, I was entrusted with overseeing equipment worth over 3 million dollars. The weight of responsibility was substantial, the stakes high. It's crucial for us to recognize the magnitude of these experiences. Veterans bring to the table a level of commitment, leadership, and adaptability that's second to none. I want all employers to bridge the gap and value Veteran’s skills and acknowledge the incredible contributions they can make beyond the military. #VeteransExperiences #LeadershipInService #Veterans #veteransupport

Reflecting on the past, I found my old Navy ID card, which stirred waves of nostalgia. Reminding me of the discipline, camaraderie, and resilience instilled through military service. As discussion about the new veterans card mounts online, it's a poignant reminder of the evolution in the recognition and respect we afford to our veterans. In the current socio-political climate, the suggestion of training citizens for warfare, as put forth by Gen Sanders, has raised eyebrows. Military service is more than just skill acquisition, it's about dedication, discipline, and duty - qualities that cannot be transplanted. While I respect General Sanders' perspective that "armed citizens still win modern wars", I believe that professionals should be engaged for this purpose, trained not just in warfare, but in upholding the ethos of honour, courage, and commitment. As a proud former Royal Marine, I stand against the idea of training citizens for warfare. Is the answer really in “training and equipping” a new citizen army or do we need to re-think our approach to national security and defence? I would love to hear your thoughts on this. #VeteransCard #NationalSecurity #DefenceStrategy #MilitaryService
