How to become a Noble When my old boss and great friend an Army CW5 was retiring from the military after 40 years I bought a 12” x 12” plot of land making him a Lord. He now refers to himself as Lord K. I own the lot next to him and we joke about vacations on our little slice of land. If you have held a title like sergeant, police officer, special agent, major or another rank throughout your career and desire to continue the tradition of bearing an esteemed title, perhaps it is time to consider becoming a Lord or Lady or maybe even a Baron or Baroness. Embracing a title of nobility cannot only add a touch of distinction to your identity but also open doors to new opportunities and social circles. Honestly, it’s not likely so don’t hold your breath. These titles carry with them a sense of nobility and honor, reflecting a long-standing tradition of respect and admiration. It’s also fun to give as a gift to your retiring friends. Transitioning to such a prestigious title can be a fulfilling experience, symbolizing a new chapter in your personal and professional journey. Are you ready for nobility? Can you handle the epic responsibilities? Becoming a Lord or Lady is as easy as an internet search, and handing over a few dollars. #leadership #experience #socialcircles #police #lawenforcement #executiveprotection #firefighter #military

Freedom is not free
Join us in wishing #MedalofHonor recipient Michael Thornton a very happy birthday! He is one of 63 living recipients today. 🇺🇸 On October 31, 1972, then Petty Officer Michael Thornton, an Assistant U.S. Navy Advisor, took part in an operation against an enemy river base to capture prisoners and gain intelligence. Soon after landing, the patrol came under enemy fire. A heavy firefight ensued as Thornton and those near him acted to prevent encirclement. While doing so, Thornton learned that the senior advisor, Lieutenant Thomas Norris, had been hit. Thornton risked his life through a hail of enemy fire to take his wounded comrade to the shore, swimming with him on his back for two hours until picked up by friendly forces. For saving Norris’s life and the successful extraction of all the patrol, Thornton was awarded the Medal of Honor on October 15, 1973 by President Nixon. At the time of the action, Thornton was one of only about a dozen U.S. Navy SEALS still in Vietnam. In previous interviews, Thornton remarked that the Medal of Honor, “…belongs to every man and woman who’s ever served our country or is going to serve our country. I’m a custodian of the Medal.”

A Saber Sticking Upright in the Sand: Imagine you are a US Soldier, a US Marine, or a US Navy Corpsman in the Pacific Theater of War, WWII. You are in a front forward war zone (facing and engaging with the enemy, that rarely surrendered and did not abide by the Geneva Conventions on War) and you see an enemy saber sticking upright in the sand (keeping in mind this was the most prized war trophy of that Theater of War). What would you do? This was an actual experience of my late Dad (he would have been 100 years old in July 2023). I'll make it simple, would you: Take it? Bypass it? Follow a Rule of War (for you lawyers)? Or something else? Answer: Stay in your position. A trap. Most likely a sniper or machine gun team trained on it. A perfect aiming stake, in my opinion. My Dad's unit's Lieutenant was sniped, KIA. His first name, Lance, I don't know his last name, a graduate of Lafayette College. I don't know the specific circumstances. So, avoid, if you want to in my view, the traps of life, money, power, fame, etc. Just be you. Stay in your position. You are good enough. With my best. ------Bob Mordeczko

VP of People | Retired US Marine | Keeping the “H” in HR | Host of Coffee with the HR Guy Podcast🎙️
Military transition tip: Home of selection matters most When I meet with folks leaving the military, the first question I ask is “Where do you plan to settle down?” Whether they served 4 years or 40, this decision is more important than the second question, which is “What do you want to do when you grow up?” It’s tongue in cheek… sure, because the people I meet with are highly accomplished, decorated, and ready to take on any role in the “civilian world.” But there’s a rush to figure out how a jack of all trades (literally) fits into the workforce after leaving the #military. My advice is to narrow down the “where” before narrowing down the “what.” You may find that what you want to do doesn’t really fit into the place you decide to land. You may also find that the things that interest you the most are more abundant in a different location. “Home of selection” is an ongoing joke for me and a few friends when one of us complains about where we chose to plant roots after our service, but the cool thing about being a “civilian” is, if you don’t like it you can leave any time 😂 Channeling my inner Queen Latifah this morning on my run. Can you HEAR this picture? U.N.I.T.Y….. Semper Fi! #veteranshelpingveterans #sundaythoughts

Empowering Leaders in Career Transition | Certified Career & Personal Development Coach | Elevating Success in Career & Life | SDVOSB | Veteran | VOSB
On this day, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and honor the heroes who stepped forward in the face of unimaginable tragedy. First responders, medical personnel, and countless volunteers served courageously, offering their all to help families and communities in need. As a USAF veteran, I’ve come to reflect on what it truly means to serve. When we sign up to join the military, I don’t know if we fully understand the weight of giving ourselves for others. But when the moment comes—when faced with the decision to defend our country, fight for freedom, and even face the possibility of war—so many do not flinch. They serve with honor, and some pay the ultimate price so that others can live their lives in peace. This spirit of selflessness and sacrifice is something I carry with me, not only from my military service but also in everyday life. Whether on the battlefield or in the challenges we face daily, standing for what you believe in and knowing your value is a form of strength that can inspire and uplift those around us. Today, we honor those who gave their lives on 9/11 and those who continue to serve. Let’s never forget their sacrifice and strive to support one another in their memory. #NeverForget #911Heroes #EqualPayEqualSay #VeteranStrong #ServiceAndSacrifice #Resilience #Leadership #HonoringTheFallen #MilitaryService #NeverForget #911Heroes #EqualPayEqualSay #VeteranStrong #ServiceAndSacrifice #Resilience #Leadership #HonoringTheFallen #MilitaryService

Fallen Soldiers March has been approached by Navy Seal Team members to write for FSM's Quarterly Newsletter when inspired, time allows and anonymity is protected. They will use the pseudonym "The Chief". Special Operations is different—and it isn’t. A certain type of man is drawn to the idea of being a soldier in the black ops. This phenomenon—a longing for a tragic amalgam of idealism, vigor, wanderlust, and duty—is as old as time. Across history, tyrants have used and manipulated this inner synthesis for horrifying evil. That yearning to become, to strive, to overcome, even to know true defeat rests in the hearts of young men who were created to serve a king and kingdom. But more often than not, they end up serving themselves and worse: corrupt governments. This pull in my youthful heart led me to test my resolve in the fires of special warfare selection. I thought I was tough, and I wanted to prove it. I wanted adventure; I wanted to do things that mattered; I wanted to be able to rely on the men next to me in life-and-death situations, and I wanted them to be able to rely on me. I didn’t want riches; I didn’t want fame; I didn’t want girls or parties or comfort. I wanted conflict. I wanted to be up to my neck in danger. I wanted to serve my country and rid the world of evil men. I wanted to fight, and, if need be, die for a worthy cause. Men join special warfare communities for a plethora of reasons, but those were mine. I know I wasn’t alone in those desires.
