Taking on the Murph, I recently embarked on something completely new for me the Murph. Named in honor of Navy SEAL Lieutenant Michael P. Murphy, this challenge pushes physical limits and mental toughness to a whole new level. The Murph consists of a 1-mile run, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 squats, followed by another 1-mile run, all while wearing a weighted vest. It's not just about physical endurance; it's about honoring sacrifice and embracing resilience. Why did I take it on?

The recent video of the Naval band has left me awestruck—not just for their musical brilliance but for what it represents: discipline, passion, and an unshakeable sense of duty. Watching them perform reminded me of a core life lesson—Work Hard, Party Hard. When they’re on duty, they give it their all, guarding the seas with unmatched grit and determination. But when it’s time to celebrate, they know how to uplift spirits, not just theirs but of everyone around them. Isn’t that something we can all learn from? As professionals, we often find ourselves chasing deadlines, managing crises, and pushing boundaries. Yet, we must remember to pause, celebrate our wins, and recharge our spirits—just like these incredible Naval officers do. After all, life isn’t just about the grind; it’s about balancing responsibility with joy. On an emotional note, what sets our Navy and other armed forces apart is their moral fiber. They stand tall with values and love for the nation that inspire them to serve selflessly till their last breath. That kind of dedication is humbling. So here’s a thought: Let’s take a cue from them. Let’s be fiercely committed to our work but never forget to celebrate the journey. Because if our heroes at sea can protect our nation while living their best lives, what’s stopping us from doing the same? Let’s salute their spirit! 💙 #WorkHardPartyHard #NavyLifeLessons #Inspiration #SaluteToForces

The Calvert Task Group’s mission is to support and defend the Constitution of the United States, the Navy and Marine Corps and the United States Naval Academy. We affirm the Navy’s traditional values of honor, courage and commitment and that are now under threat. We represent mostly Annapolis graduates, almost all of whom are current, former, or retired naval officers representing countless of years of Naval service. We reject the dangerous politicization of our armed forces. We believe our military must be a meritocracy and eliminate the influence of divisive ideologies and identity politics. We are current, former, or retired naval officers representing thousands of years of Naval service. We affirm the Navy’s traditional values of honor, courage and commitment and we believe those are under threat. We have observed with increasing alarm the dangerous politicization of our armed forces through the promotion of the divisive ideology of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. While sounding good, right, and politically correct, these carefully selected words are deceptive and destructive in nature when applied to social constructs that demand merit-based selection and exceptional leadership in potential life and death situations. We believe in equal opportunity and in merit advancement. These two factors are critical to unit cohesion, morale, and effectiveness. We believe the military, above all other walks of life, must operate under those principles. The Calvert Task Group was formed in 2021 as an association of U.S. Naval Academy alumni, led by members of the class of 1969. Our members believe that American Service Academies are exceptional institutions for developing future leaders prepared to assume the highest responsibilities of command citizenship and government. Our class motto – “Non Sibi” or “Not Self” – appears in the crest inscribed on our class rings and is a common bond that has molded our lives for more than half a century. We understand that if we are not part of the solution, we are part of the problem. We are committed. We are open to all Naval Academy graduates and also welcome others who agree with and are willing to support our cause. The Calvert Task Group (CTG) represents veterans and service academy alumni, most of whom are combat experienced. We have personally witnessed the unique, “color and gender blind” culture of our fellow warriors, necessary to prevail on the battlefield.

Well done

The Career Transition Strategies Workshop facilitated by Noël McCall / MilBridge Consulting, LLC, was valuable to me. If you are transitioning, this is a good workshop to attend to help you prepare successfully. Although I have attended workshops and fellowships in the past covering transition topics in fine detail, I believe it is imperative to stay sharp and incorporate lessons learned to continually improve - especially when choosing the right company culture, position within your chosen passions, and path to pick the right job after the military. Here are some key takeaways from the workshop: *Military to Civilian Transition: Further focusing my resume, pitch, and interview response narrative. *One-on-One Coaching: Personalized guidance to refine my career path.  *Networking Strategy Improvement: Continuously working on uncovering hidden job opportunities. Networking goes beyond seeking job opportunities, as it allows you to help others as well. This is the area I seek most to improve, as it is a key differentiator for success. *Personal Branding: Understanding my brand, ensuring I was still on azimuth, and further refining/learning how to communicate it effectively. I was able to compare an assessment with similar ones to better ascertain my skills, strengths, and weaknesses. *Negotiating Offers: Setting expectations and exploring options. Huge thanks to Noël McCall and Al Lampkins for hosting this workshop. Thanks also to Veterans Bridge Home and @The Steven A. Cohen Military Family Clinic. #CareerTransition #MilitaryToCivilian #ProfessionalGrowth
