EP-346 | A New Army Fitness Test?

Army Fitness - Change is Coming: Will They Get it Right This Time?
Through the years, the U.S. Army has modified how it performs fitness and tests soldiers to succeed in combat. The Army Combat Fitness Test could change - again - if the Senate Armed Services Committee's markup of next year's defense budget is passed. The final version of the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act still needs to make its way through both chambers of Congress before being signed by the president. 
The guys discuss this topic.

EP-344 | 75th Ranger Regiment Low Density MOS’

Within 75th Ranger Regiment there are many military occupational skills that are supporting roles known as "low density". Although many are within the Regimental Special Troops Battalion (RSTB) at Fort Moore (aka Ft. Benning), there are also opportunities to join units within each battalion. We sat down with six non-commissioned officers in the Darby Room of the 75th Ranger Regiment HQ.
RSTB provides the 75th Ranger Regiment and U.S. Army Special Operations Command with increased operational capabilities to sustained combat operations. RSTB conducts command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance functions in support of the 75th Ranger Regiment and other special operation task forces in order to enable the execution of joint special operations anywhere in the world. Additionally, RSTB provides qualified, trained and ready Rangers to sustain the Ranger Force.
The 75th Ranger Regiment is a lethal, agile and flexible force, capable of conducting many complex, joint special operations missions. Today's Ranger regiment is the Army's premier direct-action raid force. Each of the four geographically dispersed Ranger battalions is always combat ready, mentally and physically tough, and prepared to fight our country's adversaries. Their capabilities include conducting airborne and air assault operations, seizing key terrain such as airfields, destroying strategic facilities, and capturing or killing enemies of the nation. Rangers are capable of conducting squad through regimental-size operations and are resourced to maintain exceptional proficiency, experience and readiness. The regiment remains an all-volunteer force with an intensive screening and selection process followed by combat-focused training. The 75th Ranger Regiment is a proud unit and a team of teams - serving the nation.

EP-341 | Emotions in Leadership - Asset or Liability?

Strong leaders don't command and control, they connect. Relationship-building, social skill, empathy, collaboration and awareness of yourself are all important traits of a strong leader. In this episode, Kyle and Robert are joined by former Sergeant Major Sean Jarvis to talk about the topic of emotions in leadership.

EP-340 | Sean Jarvis | You Can Sit Back or Be in Control

You Can Sit Back or Be in Control
STOP: If you haven't watched "Overcoming Adversities & Getting on Track", please watch that episode first. This is Part 2 of our show with Sean.
Sean Jarvis is a retired sergeant major with the U.S. Army who served as a cavalry scout on multiple deployments and has had several assignments across his 26-year career, including the operations sergeant major for 1st Security Forces Assistant Brigade (1st SFAB). 
Sean talks about a night that leads to a driving while intoxicated (DWI) and the set back it took on his career and mental state. Losing a good friend and mentor in combat took an additional toll on him. He knew he needed to get himself straight and he shares how he overcame these initial challenges by taking the tough love former leaders gave him and using it to get back on track. He then goes into the time when he realized, through those who cared about him, that he can either stay stuck in a rut, or do something about it by taking control of his life and his success.
