[CATEGORYNAME] - Spiritual and Mental Resilience in the COVID-19 Environment

Spiritual and Mental Resilience in the COVID-19 Environment

Memes abound describing COVID-19 and the year 2020. What we hoped would be 14 to 30 days has turned into seven months as I write this article. It looks like we will deal with this virus and its effects for some time yet to come. This likely means continued wearing of masks, not being able to gather in large groups, and spending more time at home than we did before COVID-19. Anyone have cabin fever yet? Anyone feeling a little antsy? You love your family and yet you find yourself a little annoyed, frustrated, or simply wanting a little time away from them? You are not alone.

[CATEGORYNAME] - From the Commanding General

From the Commanding General

The backbone of the US Army is our Noncommissioned Officer Corps.  From my recent assignment in the Pacific Theater, I can tell you that our Army’s NCO’s professionalism and technical expertise is the envy of our allies around the world.  They create a force multiplier that does not exist elsewhere.  How lucky we are to be in the 108th Training Command where our business is all about the NCO: recruiting, retention, training, and developing the world-famous Army Drill Sergeant.

From the 98th Training Division (IET) Commander

Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year! I hope everyone is enjoying themselves and taking the time to relax with loved ones and re-energize before the New Year begins. The Holiday Season is supposed to be a great time of the year. Time to relax and reflect on family, friends, and life. However, our culture has transformed this part of the year into an extremely hectic and fast paced time that is often hard to enjoy as we have created it. This should be, and can be, the best time of the year if we will manage it.

From the 95th Command Sergeant Major

The 95th Training Division has a long and rich history. We are most renowned for our role in World War II, where we gained our nickname the “Iron Men of Metz.” Our Iron Men fought hard and conquered massive German resistance to capture the fortress city of Metz as part of the Allied push into Germany in 1944. It is this rich history and grit that gives our Soldiers today, in this Division, the honor and pride to serve and follow in the footsteps of the Iron Men who fought so hard before us.
