Navigating PCS Chaos, Saving Money, and Finding Adventure! PCSing is a constant in military life, often bringing stress, extra costs, and confusion. But it doesn't have to be a nightmare! In this episode, we dive deep into practical tips and strategies to help you survive your next Permanent Change of Station (PCS), save money, and maybe even make it an adventure. We cover everything from getting your paperwork in order to leveraging financial benefits and preparing your family for the journey. In this episode, we discuss key strategies for managing your PCS: Getting Organized & Paperwork: The importance of physical binders and electronic backups for documents. Tips for outprocessing checklists and hand-carrying essential items like orders, Power of Attorneys, birth certificates, passports, and social security cards. Keep vital documents separate from movers. Financially Preparing: The crucial need to start saving cash early for unreimbursed expenses. Access to liquid money helps with stress management and avoiding debt. Cutting expenses is the first step to saving. Understanding Financial Benefits: Dislocation Allowance (DLA): An entitlement can be taken as an advance upfront (not a loan). Rates vary by pay grade and dependents (e.g., O-5 w/ dependents $5,339, E-4 w/ dependents $3,400 in 2025). PCS Pay Advance: Option for up to one month's base pay, interest-free, paid back over 12 months. A tool for necessary situations, better than high-interest loans. Moving Your Stuff (HHG government move vs. PPM): Options include full government shipment (through TMO) or the Personally Procured Move (PPM). A partial PPM is recommended for conus moves to get paid for weight in your car. A full PPM offers significant profit potential by paying you the government's cost (examples mentioned: Jamie's $14,000 profit in 2023, and potential $10,000 profit in 2025). Challenge misinformation about PPM rules by referencing the JTR. Temporary Living Expenses (TLE) & Temporary Living Allowance (TLA): TLE (CONUS to CONUS, CONUS to OCONUS, or OCONUS to CONUS variants): Max $290/day, limited to 21 days, can be split between old and new PDS. Can be used for M&IE even when staying with family/friends. TLA (OCONUS): Up to 60 days upon arrival, 10 days upon departure. Covers lodging plus M&IE. Reference the JTR due to common misinformation. Prioritize minimizing stress over maximizing per diem. Preparing Your Family: Frame the move as an adventure. Acknowledge feelings (sadness, excitement) for everyone. Involve older kids in packing. Remember it's a team effort. Decluttering: Less stuff makes moving easier, especially with PPM. Reduces mental stress. Try methods like the hanger trick, Marie Kondo ("spark joy"), or the "poop test" for toys. Holding a garage sale can generate extra cash. Smart Travel & Leave: Explore circuitous travel or taking leave en route by getting it on your orders. PCS is a prime opportunity to take leave between assignments. Can take leave before departing or upon arrival. Understand BH timing. Inventory & Support: Video and photograph your belongings for inventory in case of loss or damage. You are not alone. Lean on your support network, friends, family, or sponsor for help.

Finally, we'll ask Dr. Chaudhary to share advice for developing and advanced leaders. Dr. Chaudhary, welcome to Long Blue Leadership. We're so glad to have you. Dr. Chaudhary 01:18 Navier, thank you so much. Thank you for that way too kind of an introduction, and I only have one regret. On this weekend, did you have to mention that I was in the Navy for a little while? You just about blew me away. I know you've got some white clear liquid here. I'm just about ready to find out what the clear liquid is. Naviere Walkewicz Cheers. Dr. Chaudhary 01:40 Off we go, and we'll let our audience speculate, and depending on how it goes, we'll critique ourselves. Just an honor to be here, and congrats to you on your career of service in the Air Force. Naviere Walkewicz Thank you so much. This is truly a pleasure. And I think what we love about Long Blue Leadership is it's really about our listeners getting to know you. And we have so many different listeners that are really excited. So let's start with the hat. I've noticed we've got a hat on right here. “Air Force Installations: Best in the World.” Let's talk about it. Dr. Chaudhary Yeah, let's talk about that. Because we do have the best installations in the world. Our installations are power projection platforms. Every Air Force installation has a mission that begins and terminates with it. If you go all the way back in our history, Gen. Hap Arnold had this to say about our installations: “Air bases are the determining factor in air operations.” Think about that. Think about why we need to make sure that our installations are ready to go, and why we invest in them as an Air Force. It's because you can't get the jets out of town unless they have a good runway that works, unless they are hardened and ready to absorb the types of blows that have come to us in the past. And I'm telling you right now that we've got to be ready for this future, in a decade of consequence in Great Power Competition. We've got to focus on ruggedizing and ensuring that our installations are as survivable as they ever have been. Naviere Walkewicz Absolutely. Well, I can say that that is certainly true, having been at bases where we've seen some challenges, it does halt and sometimes stop operations. So yeah, you're right. Yeah. So it's incredible the work you're doing, and we're going to talk about that today. But before we get there, can we rewind the clock a little bit? Dr. Chaudhary Please don't rewind it too far, but I have a feeling you will. Naviere Walkewicz Just a little bit. Just enough to kind of get to know who Ravi was as a young boy. What were you like growing up? Tell us about your family and where you grew up. Dr. Chaudhary That's cool. So, I was born and raised in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I grew up there all my life. My parents came from India in 1960s and they always dreamed to do the unusual, it was the American Dream that brought them to this country. And they had kids, you know, and growing up as a South Asian American, you know, people in community would be like, “Hey, you know, why are you going to join the military? Why are you going to, you know, once you just be a doctor or engineer or lawyer or something like that?” Kind of fit the stereotype. But I always thought about it this way: If my parents would give up everything they wanted in their life, their language, their culture, everything to pursue their dreams, wouldn't they want that for their children as well? And so off I went to the Air Force Academy, and the values that my parents instilled in me rang true just about every single day. In fact, when I grow up, my mom would always tell me this. She'd say, “You know, if you do your full duty, the rest will take care of itself.” Naviere Walkewicz That sounds very familiar to me. Dr. Chaudhary And she would say, in the Sanskrit word for that — and my faith tradition is Hinduism — the Sanskrit word for that is “dharm.” If you follow your dharm, everything will take care of itself. And lo and behold, I'm getting choked up a little bit, because when I showed up and opened that Contrails and saw that quote, I knew that Mom and Dad had prepared me, had prepared me for the challenges that would come, not just the Academy, but everything from 9/11 to deploying to Iraq to raising a family and making sure they have everything they need to prosper. So, all that brought me to an institution that honestly brought out the flavor and gave me in the same opportunity that this country gave my father. So, it's just been a pinch-me career, and it's just an honor to be here with you today and with the entire AOG team talking about this. Naviere Walkewicz 05:36 That's amazing. I mean, I, thinking about what you just said, that your parents came and they pursued a dream. What was that like in your household? What did that look like? Dr. Chaudhary 05:45 Here's what it looked like. My dad — he actually came to this country with about $165, $80 of which went to his tuition. He was at University of Missouri, and then he eventually went to University of Minnesota. The rest he used to get a house and fill the fridge. And so, when he was looking for an opportunity to serve, he wanted to be in the U.S. Department of Agriculture and serve as a fed and so he didn't get that chance. So, what he did, he literally drove, put me and my brother and my mom in a car and drove to Washington. When he drove to Washington, he dropped us off at the Lincoln Memorial and walked up the stairs of the Capitol. Two senators from Minnesota, one was walking out, Sen. Walter Mondale. He said hello to him. He didn't know him from Adam. And then he went to the office of Hubert Humphrey and he sat down with him, and he told his story to Hubert Humphrey and Hubert Humphrey said, “This is what America is all about.” And he was kind enough to give my dad a shot in Minneapolis. And he spent his entire career, 25 years, as a federal inspector in the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Naviere Walkewicz My goodness. Dr. Chaudhary It's an incredible story. But you know what? It all came together about a year and a half ago when I was confirmed and during my swearing, and it was honored to have Sec. Kendall swear me in, but to have my dad walk up the front steps of the Pentagon with my mom and I. We go up the stairs, and I said, “Dad, would you turn around for a second?” And he turned around. I said, “You know, you can see the Lincoln Memorial and you can see the Capitol.” And I said, “Look what you've done in one generation.” That is the embodiment of the American dream. And as he was kind of — I'm getting choked up — he wiped the tears from his eyes. He realized that that that what this country has given to us is something that we've got to always think about giving back and giving back, and that's really what my career has always been about, giving back to the country that has given my family everything. Naviere Walkewicz 07:59 That is amazing. Wow. I mean, I'm almost without words, because I can see what your dad has instilled in you, made possible, but instilled in you as a servant leader as well. I'm just… that's pretty impressive. So, tell me about your mom, because it sounds like she also instilled some pretty incredible traits in you and some beliefs in how to treat people. What did that look like in, her leadership in your life? Dr. Chaudhary 08:26 What can I say about my mom? She's a pillar of the community back in Minneapolis. She runs a nonprofit called Seva. In Hindi, seva means service, to serve, serve your fellow citizens, serve your nation. And again, I told you about her, her enduring quote, “If you do your full duty, the rest will take care of itself.” So, in that nonprofit, she is actually bringing cultural-specific services, health services, to the Asian American community. One thing she did during Covid was incredible. She pulled together a meal team, and she served somewhere around 20,000 seniors. And it wasn't just Asian Americans, anybody in the Minneapolis community that was struggling, that couldn't get food, that was having a tough time. And then, as you know, after the George Floyd tragedy occurred, the town, the city went through a tough time, and there was an area right around one of the police stations where the riots were going on and everybody was fleeing when. When the community was fleeing, she was mobilizing her team to go in. They were going in and they were rescuing people from shelters to get them to a safe place. And two days later, she brought a team into the community that was still smoldering and set up meal stations to just give people sandwiches, bread, whatever — to just make everybody feel good and move forward, and that's what America is about. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in the times and differences, but we realize that America is more than just Washington. America is about neighbors and neighbors caring for each other. So, where did I learn that? I learned that from my mom, but the Air Force Academy brought it out, and I applied that every single day, whether it was a mission launching GPSs, doing engineering — tough engineering problems, or flying missions into the CENTCOM AOR, where we had to bring crews to bear to execute incredible missions. And so, reflecting on that — boy, you're really tearing me up today… Naviere Walkewicz No, not at all… Dr. Chaudhary …because you're bringing this all out of my heart, and it's just an honor to be here and humbling to tell the story. But I know that there are thousands and thousands of grads out there that have just as inspiring stories, and that's why I love to come to AOG. That's why I like to spend time with our cadets today, which was just as incredible. I went down to Jacks Valley and got to see the assault course as well. Luckily, I didn't have too many flashbacks. Naviere Walkewicz I was going to say, did you have your rubber ducky with you? Dr. Chaudhary Yeah, I did not. They didn't push me through it, but the demo was incredible. And I know our secretary was equally impressed with the cadets and the caliber of students that are here, the caliber of our cadets, and how I'm so optimistic for the future of our Air Force and Space Force. Naviere Walkewicz 11:33 Absolutely. And I can share, based off of what you shared about your mom and dad, there's no reason why you're [not] able to take on a job that almost seems impossible with the scope and breadth of what you're responsible for. So, I can't wait to get into that as well. Can we go to when you're at the Academy? I want to know more about you as a cadet, because as interesting as you are as an adult, what were you like as a cadet? Dr. Chaudhary 11:54 There's a lot that I really shouldn't disclose. Okay, so we've got to be really, really careful. So, me and my classmates, we have this thing called “mutually assured destruction.” You know stories about me, I know stories about you. Just leave it there. But let me tell you, the Academy was just the honor of a lifetime. But you know what — going through it with your classmates is something. I was just having lunch with our cadets today. I was a grad of Delta Tau Deuce, and to spend time with them and tell them stories, and hear about their stories, about what Deuce is like these days, was absolutely just, I was just blown away with it. But yep, I was primarily in Deuce. I had the just pleasure of beaing a squadron commander and having peers that really care for each other, peers that I keep in touch with. To this very day, I have them up on text. Naviere Walkewicz Oh, wow. Dr. Chaudhary And we share with each other. We have challenges. We go through it together, but I will tell you one story about why your cadet story matters, and you don't realize it until the balloon goes up. When I graduated from pilot training, I graduated essentially the day after 9/11 and I was actually in the planning room when 9/11 happened, and within a few weeks — I did my check ride that day — within a few weeks, I was at Charleston Air Force Base, and my squadron commander had me look out the window and said, “We don't have time to mission qual you. We don't have enough pilots. We're going to marry you up with a crew to go down range.” And you know what he did? He married me up with two people, one who was my classmate from the Class of 1993, Naviere Walkewicz Really? Dr. Chaudhary Two was a member of my squadron from Deuce, and he was a new aircraft commander. We had an experienced first pilot, and I didn't know nothing from nothing. I was a brand-new co-pilot. And so, getting ready for that, for those missions, a new environment for me, required something that our squadron commander knew that if I put three Academy graduates together, the bond that they've had in their years was going to carry them through toughest conditions, in unknown conditions. And sure enough, we clicked and did well. But to anybody who's a current cadet and listening in and wondering, “Hey, is this bonding — is what's going on now, the time that we have together here in the Academy going to amount to anything?” I'm here to tell you, it does and through my own life experiences, and quite honestly, in a number of missions, we fly working it together as a team. The bonds we create as cadets carry over for decades. Naviere Walkewicz 14:54 So maybe you can share some of those bonding moments at the Academy. You said you were a squadron commander. What were some of the lessons you learned from a leadership aspect, in leading your peers, but also while still trying to bond with them? Dr. Chaudhary 15:08 Yeah, when you look back, sometimes you're separated by age and rank, right? You got age and you got rank and your peer groups kind of set you that way. At the Academy, it's completely different because your peers, as a senior, you're all peers and colleagues, and to take on a leadership role is what I would say is the toughest challenge of all. To lead a team of peers and colleagues can be challenging. And there's challenges that really kind of come with everything like that, but to me, you can't do it without collaboration, without consulting folks and being inclusive in how you give people a voice. Now the jury is out — I'm not going to judge whether I was successful or not. Probably not, you know? But I will say we did one thing: It was gonna be we were gonna be the athletic squadron of the year. We were a beast. In fact, we decided that we were gonna go for one thing: We were the athletic squadron. And so, we did. Naviere Walkewicz That's impressive! Dr. Chaudhary We kicked some serious buttt. So, back in the day, you do what was called a sweep. So, if you swept all your sports and intramurals that day, you would, the next day, you would get Mitch's Mountains. And so, the lore of Mitch's Mountains was incredible. And today, interestingly enough, we had what I would call Mitch's Mountain version 2.0 — probably half the calories and twice the caffeine. I don't know what it is. But I actually whipped out a picture of an old Mitch's Mountain. And I show them, they're like, it was really funny, because to see the look in their eyes and to see an original Mitch's Mountain, it was like, oh, you know they looked at and they're like, “That's what a Mitch's…” And they're like, “There's an Oreo cookie on top!” I'm like, for us, “Ok, this is a nice 2.0” and everything, like you gotta go back to… Naviere Walkewicz 17:05 So, how many of those did you get? If you were actually the athletic squadron, you must have swept multiple days. Dr. Chaudhary 17:12 You see the love handles on me right now? That was the one challenge. Because, you know, [you‘ve] got to stay in shape. But we kicked some serious butt; we would sweep all the time. I was actually on the water polo team… Naviere Walkewicz 17:25 …we share that. I did not enjoy it. It sounds like you might. Dr. Chaudhary 17:30 I don't know. So, I'm a decent swimmer. I'm pretty good. Grew up in Minnesota, tons of lakes. I could say I'm a decent swimmer, but I can tell you I am not a water polo player. So, what they used me for in water polo… Naviere Walkewicz Were you the buouy? Dr. Chaudhary I was the anti-buoy, because whoever was the good player, they'd say, “Go and put your arms over that one and get them underwater,” so that our fellow water polo teammate could go in and score. And so, probably one of my most beloved plaques in my life is my water polo plaque because we were Wing champs. Naviere Walkewicz Oh, my goodness! Dr. Chaudhary We ran the tables and were Wing champs, and that plaque still sits on my desk. It's one of my most beloved things. You know, my wife, she's getting ready to toss it. I'm like, “No, no, not that!” Naviere Walkewicz Not the water polo plaque! Dr. Chaudhary She's like, “Oh, what about this graduation plaque from the Academy?” You can get rid of that, but don't get rid of my water polo plaque. That is beloved. So anyways, I was asking cadets today, “What's Deuce like?” I'm like, “So are you guys a training squadron?” Naviere Walkewicz What are they like? Dr. Chaudhary They're like, “We're the standards squadron.” And I'm like, “Wow, that's impressive.” I'm like, “What about Mach One? Are they the training?” So, they're like, “Mach One. Nah, not really.” They're like, “We're No. 1 in SAMIs. We're No. 1 is…? I'm like, “Oh, wow, they still have SAMIs and stuff like that.” Have fun. Yeah, that was a haze for me. Triple threats were always a haze, yes, so I never liked that, because well… Naviere Walkewicz 18:49 Maybe the Deuce team does now. Dr. Chaudhary 18:53 Mach One, they loved it. I've got friends from Mach One. They're gonna kill me, but yeah, they love it. They're all into it. Cleaning their rooms and Deuce would be on the corner going, “Would Mach One please go to bed?” So anyway, sorry. But yeah, it was an interesting time, you know, talking with some of our cadets. Naviere Walkewicz 19:26 I love these stories. So, were you this happy as a cadet? Dr. Chaudhary 19:31 No, I was not a happy cadet. I was a surviving kid. I was trying to get through the next day. And honestly, to me, it was always a wonder to be there, and I was always grateful for being there to serve. I was in a tough major, aero major, and honestly, it didn't come right away to me. And so I was not one of those sterling cadets that just rocks the house and everything. I was on the Comm List for a good portion of the time, but the academics took some time for me. I spent a lot of time in the aero lab. And, you know, the cool thing is, … I did projects and drag reduction, and we we tested these winglets on the tips of wings, and we did flow visualization. I had this professor. His name was Tom Yechout, and I was talking to some aero majors today. They're like, “You know, Tom Yechout?” And I'm like… Naviere Walkewicz He's still there. Dr. Chaudhary “He teaches controls here” I go, “Well, he taught me flight controls as well.” But he supervised me, and one time, I think, maybe at the last reunion, he brought me to the cabinet, and he opened up the cabinet and he showed me the hardware that we used for our project. Naviere Walkewicz 20:39 From your class? Dr. Chaudhary 20:43 Yeah. Naviere Walkewicz That's amazing! Dr. Chaudhary And here's why I'm telling you that: When in my interview with Sec. Kendall, he sat me down and he was talking about, “Hey, in your in your team, we're doing some drag reduction activities.” And he's like, “What do you know about blended wing body aircraft?” And it turns out, not only had I done some research on that, I had done a project at Staff College and to me, you know, my message to cadets out there who are working on a project who are wondering, “Hey, is this going to amount to anything? Does this matter?” I'm here to tell you that it does, because the type of work that goes on at this Academy is literally out of this world. We got folks who are working with SpaceX. I went down and that we're actually doing a project called the blended wing aircraft, which is like a big flying manta ray. It's going to reduce fuel consumption by roughly 30% to reduce fuel for fuel consumption across our Air Force and extend our range. Naviere Walkewicz How are we going to do that? Dr. Chaudhary Well, we're going to build a prototype in 2027. One of my sections is operational energy, and we have a team dedicated to reducing drag on aircraft, finding efficiencies. Why is this important? Well, it's because in Great Power Competition, we know that our adversaries are going to come after our logistics and fuel — our resources. And as a logistician, you know that. Our adversaries are targeting our installations, they're going to target our fuel resources. So, what's the best thing we can do? We can be as efficient as we can with our fuel and flying C-17s, is one thing you get to know real quick that if you land at an austere location, you're going to drain that fuel bladder almost instantly. And what does that mean? That means less sorties. That's less fire missions if you're flying Apache's out of there. That means less fuel for generators if you lose power. That means less ability to get your CAPs in the air, and we've got to embody that as a department and be ready for what that challenge holds for us. So getting efficient with our field, to me, isn't something that we're going to do because we're nice. We're going to do it because it's going to be an imperative. It's going to be a strategic imperative, and we've got to be ready for that. And so, we've been working hard at those things. The blended wing body aircraft is a long-term thing that it's been out there for a long time, but we've got to proof it. And so, it's really cool… Naviere Walkewicz It's almost full-circle for you. Dr. Chaudhary Yeah, it's incredible. And we just were at this, at the plant for Jet Zero. We did a visit there to spend some time with them and look at look at their production facility. And what do I see when I walk in the conference room? Five cadets sitting on the end of the table, learning, taking notes, interacting with the top systems engineers. And interestingly enough, one of those cadets had come and visited me and spent the summer — actually, three of them. She was part of a team of three that came and visited my organization and worked on the impacts of strategic temperature changes and how it will affect payloads for tanker aircraft. And so, they did this research, presented me this paper, and now here I am seeing them at industry being on the leading edge. And to me — let me tell you that filled me with so much optimism and excitement for the future, and most importantly, what we're producing here at the Air Force Academy, a top-notch engineering school that is regarded across the industry. So, a little turn to academics there, but big shout out to what we're doing across our academic programs. I just think we're on the right track, and we need to keep up the momentum. Naviere Walkewicz 24:30 No, that's huge. I was actually going to ask you, how are you leveraging some of our cadets in some of the things you're doing? But it sounds like they're already doing it. Dr. Chaudhary 24:40 Check! Done. They're rocking the house. Just, just leading the way. It's awesome. Naviere Walkewicz 24:43 That's amazing. Yeah. So, let's talk about — and I'm really curious — so, after you graduate the Academy, did you know you always wanted to be a pilot, by the way? Did you know you wanted to fly? Dr. Chaudhary 24:50 I can't remember a day where I wasn't drawing airplanes. And you're asking me about when I was younger. You know, “What kind of kid were you?” I was a kid who was drawing airplanes. OK, I was the kid with the airplane books. I was a kid who was checking out every single airplane book and library and learning about them and trying to understand them and wanting to know more. And so naturally, it was just — I can't think of a day where I didn't want to be an aerospace engineer, be a pilot. And you know, sometimes the ebb and flow of demand for the Air Force —there was a time of reduction in pilots for the for the Academy, and I didn't get that opportunity then and it was a bummer. But you know, if you do your full duty, the rest will take care of itself. And so, I landed at Los Angeles Air Force Base where we launched this program. I got to launch rocket programs. And you may have heard of this particular payload: It's called GPS. Naviere Walkewicz 25:44 I might have heard of that one, yes… Dr. Chaudhary 25:47 …and it was the first time we were doing it. And we're young lieutenants, and we're at Los Angeles Air Force Base, and I was getting the responsibility for third-stage engines and ordnance systems and some of the avionics, and my boss said, “We don't have time. We're launching rockets every single month. I need you to go out to this corporation called Thiokol, and I want you to buy that rocket.” And by the way, he said it in a way that was like, “Don't screw this up,” right? Naviere Walkewicz The undertone was there. Dr. Chaudhary Yeah, we've had that don't-screw-it-up moment. And so that was one of them. And so, the one thing that I remember is that our Academy demands a lot, and it demands a lot for a reason. Because leaders will be demanding a lot of brand new officers. Now the jury's out as to how well I did, but we had three we had three successful missions, and we delivered full operational capabilities for our department. And to me, I look back on that. I, believe it or not, still keep in touch with the captain who welcomed me, who brought me on the team and, in 2018, I got the incredible opportunity to let the last Delta II rocket go. And I brought my wife and my daughter with me, and that kind of brought the whole band back together. And it was cool to have kind of the old space cowboys and in the room again going, “Well, let's, let's let this rocket go for one last time.” Naviere Walkewicz That is really cool. Dr. Chaudhary And the best part of it was, after that rocket went and you felt the rumble — the rumble of a rocket, there's nothing like it in the world. When you feel the rumble go into your stomach — I leaned over my daughter. I go, “What do you think?” She said, “I am doing that.” Naviere Walkewicz 27:34 I was just going to ask you, did it bleed over into your daughter? Dr. Chaudhary 27:38 Now, she's a cadet at Georgia Tech. She just finished field training, and of course, like every good Academy graduate should do, buck the system. So, she bucked the system with her dad and said, “I'm gonna do ROTC and go to Georgia Tech. So, good luck this weekend against Navy. I'll kind of vote for you, but just want to let you know the Academy is a lot easier than Georgia Tech.” So, she and I jaw back and forth, but watching her grow has been really cool. And I got a chance to take her up and fly and get her ready for her career. She wants to be a pilot. And let me tell you, we got nothing on this next generation. They are ready for technology. They are ready for the leading edge, and we've just got to enable them. Honestly, we've got to get the hell out of the way and let them in. There's one situation, we had new avionics on the aircraft. I won't bore you with the details, but it allows you to deconflict from traffic. It's a GPS-based instrument, and I was kind of flying with her one time a few years ago, and I said, “All right, well, this is what is so, you know that little piece, you know 2,000 below you, positive means 2,000 above you. It's closing it…” She's like, “Dad, Dad, Dad, stop, stop!” Naviere Walkewicz 28:58 She knew… Dr. Chaudhary 29:00 She knew how to interact with that technology, and honestly, I didn't. I was learning how to interact with that technology. So, we've got to really make sure that we're blazing a path for our next generation, but at the same time, make sure that that we're not getting in their way. And I think sometimes we do that as grads. We're like, “I was like this when I was there…” You know? I was at Mitchell Hall today, and I saw the 0-96 up there and it's memorialized. And I walked by that thing… Naviere Walkewicz 29:32 Did you scan the QR code to fill one out? Dr. Chaudhary 29:33 Yeah, I did not do the QR code. I was like, that's too much for me. But when you look at it, you know, I thought, I'm like, that's probably where that thing ought to be right now. It's a great remembrance of why it's important, why standards are important, and then the example of how it paid off in combat conditions and saved a life was pretty important. But I'll be honest with you, we find other ways today with this next generation. I can remember flying one mission and we lost SATCOMMS with a particular field, and we were roughly maybe six hours out for Iraq in the combat zone, and we didn't know the status of the field. And one of the things you need to do is make sure the field's not under attack. So, before we did that, we're like, “Hey, how do we get our 30-minute… You know, it just wasn't happening. But you know what we're doing. We had brevity codes. And all along the line, all the C-17s that were lined up miles after miles going all the way back to Azerbaijan at 30,000 feet. We're all on. We're communicating. … We're using brevity code, so, we're not giving anything away. We're using our brevity code, and we're saying this is the status of the field. And we're relaying, we're literally relaying a half world away. That's a testament to our pilot corps, testament to duty. And so it's really in the spirit of that 0-96 there that we've adopted. So, when people say, “Oh, that tradition is going to ruin us, you know, we're going to lose standards.” I could tell you that, even though we got rid of that thing, that we're still an effective force. And I think we have to understand that a little more and as we kind of move through a period of change at USAFA — I was talking to our cadets about, “Hey, what do you think about the changes?” and, “Yeah, well, restrictions, but I understand on the importance.” I'm going to hearken back to 1991 or so, when the first Gulf War kicked off, and we were cadets when that thing kicked off, and almost instantly we moved into BDUs. We started wearing those every day. We started creating the warfighter mindset. We sealed off to make sure that we had good security. We canceled a lot of passes, and you know what we did? We moved from a fourth-class system to a four-class system. Sound familiar? Sound familiar? That was after the war kicked off. Think about that. After the war kicked off. Our superintendent is trying to do it before the war kicks off, to make sure that we're ready, ready to fight the fight and get into it. So, I have a lot of respect for our superintendent and taking this step. I do agree that we've got to get execution right. Sometimes you get some growing pains with those things, but I think we've got to step back in the grad community and digest a little bit and get behind some of the changes that have been going on. And I was talking to some cadets last night, I go, “What do you think of this?” And they're like, “We understand it. It hurts a little bit.” Because the expectations … the environment that we're in has now changed. And you know, honestly, I'll shoot straight from the hip and say that sometimes it feels like the goal post is being moved on you, because you meet one standard, and then they move again. Yeah, you know, things get tough, but we're a resilient institution, and when you get down to the brass tacks of who we are as grads, the core of what we do and execute our mission will never go away. And we've just got to blaze a path for our next generation to be successful. Naviere Walkewicz 33:24 Absolutely. Well, speaking of blaze a path — and I think some of our listeners want to hear sometimes, you know they have times when they fail at things in leadership. How do you grow from that? Can you share a time when you experience failure and what it looked like, to help inspire them through that. Dr. Chaudhary 33:42 Yep. Well, worst day of my life was when I failed a check-ride. I failed a simulator check-ride in the C-17. And it hurt. It hurt bad. I had aspirations in my career. I was like, “What's this gonna mean for me?” But you know some really smart folks, and that's when you turn to people who you really go to for advice, and it's like, you know, “Ravi, there are those who have and those who will.” So honestly, I just needed a smack in the head. They're like, “Get over it, man. You know, whatever you failed check-ride. Go out there, clean that thing up and those ups and downs in a flying career occur.” I'm being 100% honest with you, my failures are stacked up right next to my successes. And so, I think, to me, the failures were the things that helped me grow, grow through things and sometimes you think, “OK, well, that failure was unfair. I got, you know, I got a raw deal out of that.” Maybe I did, maybe I didn't, but you keep moving forward. Keep taking one step after another. Now I'm not a football guy. I love football. Watch about I never played football, but I do know what running back coaches say. I think, I'm not sure, they say, “Above all, always keep your legs moving. Don't ever up when you're running. Keep your legs moving.” And so, to me, I've always taken that advice. I've given that advice to other people too, especially when they come to me with challenges. Naviere Walkewicz 35:09 That's great advice. So maybe we can talk about your role now a little bit. And so, can you actually explain what you do? It might actually be shorter to say what you don't do, because when I look at the description, it's quite a bit. We have listeners that are parents and that maybe don't have a lot of military background and really understand. So, I think it's wonderful to share with the full community. Dr. Chaudhary 35:31 Yeah, let me talk about the position. So, the job is one of those long titles. It's the assistant secretary for energy, installations and the environment. First thing first. I'm not a military member. I am a presidential appointee, so my job is as an appointee, a Senate-confirmed appointee. That means that you go through a hearing like you see in TV, and you get voted on, right? You get the vote. I was lucky enough to have after a period of being held, I had a bipartisan vote. And so that was pretty neat to have that. But my role specifically is to ensure that our installations are ready for the fight, for the future fight, and for current conditions. Things that I lose sleep over: Right now we're in a decade of consequence that our secretary and chief regularly say that decade of consequence includes great power competition in which China and Russia seek to shape the world order in ways that that work to their advantage, in autocratic manner, and so we've got to be ready for that, and that includes establishing an important deterrence. So, my job is to make sure installations are strong and present an approach of deterrence, and when deterrence failed, be ready to win. So, what does that mean for us? That means ensuring that our installations have power capabilities, that have strong runways, that have strong hangars, strong facilities, and included in which — families live on installations as well — to ensure we have top-notch housing. So, you'll see me reaching across all those areas, but importantly enough, making sure that those installations have the right power is critical. Our adversaries have declared their intent and have the capacity to go after our critical infrastructure, and that's the one thing that keeps me up at night: making sure that we have critical redundancies and opportunities to if somebody comes after our infrastructure tries to cut our power, we have redundant capabilities, that our control systems are cyber hardened. And you mentioned earlier, both kinetic and cyber threats. So roughly in the past two decades, as China has modernized our CENTCOM theater has really shaped an environment in which CONUS installations are under threat a little bit, but not entirely. We could be relatively confident that Grand Forks would be generally safe from ISIS from a major attack. In Great Power Competition, all of that goes out the window. Our adversaries, to include Russia and China, know how to go after critical infrastructure. They know how to employ cyber capabilities, and that's why we've got to make sure that we are pursuing cyber hardened energy control systems that protect you from those threats, and the ability to island from the local grid when we need to. So, here's one thing we're doing. I'm on a march over the next five years to bring 20 or so micro grids across our most critical installations. A micro grid — it's kind of like a power bar. You plug it in the wall and you can plug in renewable energy, you plug in wind, geo, you know, all kinds of things into that — solar — to build critical redundancies. So ultimately, building those redundancies allows you to harden your capabilities at the installation and micro-reactors give you the ability to manage and distribute power where you need it. Now we can also put in battery storage. So, battery storage allows you to — when the balloon goes up, boom, put in a firewall with the local community and get the jets out of town. Keep your employed in-place mission moving and build critical redundancies. Then once the jets are out of town, plug back in and share that power with a local community, because we know that our adversaries are going to be driving civil disruption to affect the efficiency of our installations as well, too. So that dynamic is really complex. Naviere Walkewicz Wow, and the time is compressed. Dr. Chaudhary And the time is compressed, so we won't have time to react as quickly. So, we've got to prepare for an all-new environment in our installations. And it goes right back to the Hap Arnold quote. We've got to make sure that they're ready to ensure our operations are effective. And I was recently at Eielson Air Force Base, and what we're doing at Eielson is really novel. We're going to put in a small, modular micro-reactor, a small baby nuclear reactor. Naviere Walkewicz Is there a small version of that? Dr. Chaudhary Yeah, there is a small version, but it hadn't been developed yet, and we decided that we're going to push on with this new capability and bring it to Eielson Air Force Base. The key is to now — back in the day, we used to do something, proof it military-wise, and then see if it's viable in the in the commercial market, right? Not anymore. We're going to do it all concurrently. So, we're going to pursue a Nuclear Regulatory Commission license. We've been engaging the local community. They love it, including tribal nations, who know that power advantages are going to be important for sharing in the community. And so that will be the first micronuclear reactor in any installation. We're looking to award in the spring or sooner, and then get this thing up and running in 2027. Why is this important at Eielson? And you're like, “Whoa, it's way up in Alaska.” Eielson is a critical entry point for the INDOPACOM theater. Naviere Walkewicz I was gonna say, where it's located… Dr. Chaudhary It's where the one of the highest concentrations of our 5th-gen fighter force is at. It's where we do air defense, and it's where our mobility forces will be moving from Fort Wainwright all the way down range. So that's a critical node, and there's a few more of those that we've got to really, really stay focused on. So, energy and, by the way, a happy Energy Action Month as well. This month is Energy Action Month where we're looking at how we can improve power consumption across our Air Force and be more efficient. And bringing these micro-grids online is going to be a crucial, crucial aspect of that. Naviere Walkewicz 42:07 Well, something I've learned about you is that you're not afraid to push the envelope, push the speed, but do it, like you said, concurrently and to find some solutions. And I don't know that there's anyone else that could do it just like are you're doing it. Dr. Chaudhary 42:19 It's not me, it's my team. I have an incredible team of folks that refuse to accept anything [less] than excellence in our department. In fact, we have a saying in our organization that, “We eat no for breakfast.” So, I dare you to tell us no and that we can't do something. One of our coolest announcements recently that we were told “no” to for roughly three years, was a new apartment complex at Edwards Air Force Base. So, some folks may not know this, but Edwards Air Force Space is very isolated, and it's located in the desert, and so it takes roughly 45 minutes to get to the base once you get through the gate. And so, isolation of our military members, especially our junior enlisted, has been around for roughly four decades or more. And when we said, “Hey, let's do a venture-backed business model that allows us to bring state of the art departments not in MILCOM timeline like right now, timeline…” And so, we just announced an all-new venture commercial apartment complex that we just broke ground on, and we're going to start building, hopefully done by 2026 and these are timelines that allow us to move the Air Force forward aggressively. Another thing that we're doing is, I just announced a $1.1 billion investment in our dormitories and CDCs. As you know, quality of life is so critical. Back to this: If we're going to be, say that we're the number, have the number one installations in the world, we've got to live up to it, and that means our families need that too, as well. So, you've heard a lot about the GAO reports, everything from mold to decrepit housing. We're going to fix that, we're going to get ahead of it, and we're going to stay ahead of it. And so that's why our secretary, in our most recent president's budget, announced this. All we need is a budget now, yeah, and so, so our secretary is pressing hard for that, and we know that once that budget is approved, we can get working on these things and start changing quality of life and start upping our game in our installations. Naviere Walkewicz 44:23 Well, I'm gonna take one of those leadership nuggets as “just eat no for breakfast,” but we're gonna learn more about your final takeaway lessons. Before we do that with you. Dr Chaudhary, I wanna thank you for listening to Long Blue Leadership. The podcast publishes Tuesdays in both video and audio, and it's available on all your favorite podcast platforms, watch or listen to all episodes of Long Blue Leadership at longblueleadership.org. Dr Chaudhary, this has been incredible. If you might leave our listeners with one thing, what would you like to share with them when it comes to leadership, or maybe just some lessons or anything about you that you'd like to share? Dr. Chaudhary 44:57 Love what you do. Love our nation. I love my country because it's given me and my family everything. And I want everybody to believe that, you know, sometimes we get in these periods where we feel divided right across the spectrum, and it doesn't matter what your affiliation is, sometimes you just feel that. But I want folks to remember that America is not about what goes on entirely in Washington. It's about neighbors. It's about what you do for your neighbors. And to me, that's our biggest strength as a nation. You know, many years ago, our forefathers felt that the values of equality, fair treatment and self-determination would be enough to topple an empire, and it is. We should believe that too, and I want everybody to know that. So, it's an honor to be here. But before I go, I want to say thank you for just an intriguing hour. It's an honor to be here, and I want to give you my personal challenge coin… Naviere Walkewicz Oh my goodness… Dr. Chaudhary …and say thank you so much. It embodies a lot of what we do, military family housing, airfields, of course our beautiful 5th-gen fighter aircraft and our wind power and capabilities as a symbol of what we've got to do for installation school. Naviere Walkewicz 46:16 That is an honor, sir. Thank you. Thank you so much. Oh my goodness, thank you. Dr. Chaudhary 46:20 It was a great hour, and just a pleasure to spend time with… Naviere Walkewicz 46:26 It was my pleasure. There's so much I wanted ask you and I know we're limited on time … Is there anything we can do for you? Dr. Chaudhary 46:36 Just keep doing what you do. Keep making sure that our grads out there have a voice, have a say, and can contribute to all this institution has to offer our nation. And so, you're doing it, and I can't thank you enough for it. Naviere Walkewicz 46:49 Thank you very much.

Heat wave focus shifts from the Mid-Atlantic to portions of theSoutheast/Southern Plains by Monday......There's a Slight Risk of Severe Thunderstorms over portions of theNorthern High Plains......Severe storms for portions of the Upper Midwest on Monday......Monsoon-like conditions persist for the Southwest...A broad and well entrenched upper ridge centered over the Southern HighPlains/Southwest will eject shortwave energy across the northern tierstates through the early work week. A low pressure system will slideacross the Northeast and potentially into the Canadian maritimes tonight.Scattered to isolated showers and thunderstorms will focus around anattendant cold front propagating through much of the Northeast andnorthern Mid-Atlantic coast. Remnant moisture from Tropical CycloneAlberto, will bring early monsoon-like conditions to the Southwest andFour Corners region over the next few days. Scattered to isolated showersand thunderstorms will occur with some instances of flash floodingpossible, particularly over slot canyons and favorable terrain. There's aSlight Risk (at least 15%) of Excessive Rainfall leading to Flash Floodingover portions of southeastern Arizona on Monday with Marginal Risks (atleast 5%) persisting through mid-week.Elsewhere, shortwave energy propagating across southern-central Canada andthe northern tier CONUS will influence more thunderstorm activity over theUpper Midwest/Great Lakes beginning Monday afternoon. There's a SlightRisk of Severe Thunderstorms (level 2/5) over parts of the Upper Midwestlate Monday afternoon. Severe/destructive wind gusts are possible forparts of Minnesota into Wisconsin. A cold front at the surface will act asa focus for showers and thunderstorms across portions of the MiddleMississippi Valley and Midwest on Tuesday. There's a Slight Risk of SevereThunderstorms for parts of Iowa/northern Missouri into northern Illinois,southern Wisconsin, southwest Lower Michigan, northern Indiana andnorthwestern Ohio. There's potential for an MCS to move across parts ofWisconsin/Michigan into northern Illinois/Indiana Tuesday morning, theoutflows of which should set the stage for afternoon evening convection totake place after diurnal heating occurs. There's also a targeted SlightRisk of Excessive Rainfall over parts of eastern Iowa, southern Wisconsinand northern Illinois, where storms yielding high rain rates could causeflash flooding.A mid-level trough moving off into the Atlantic will promote widespreadrecord warm low temperatures across the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic Coasttonight. Lows in the 70s will be of particular concern to those withoutadequate cooling or hydration. Heat Advisories are in effect for much ofthe aforementioned areas. Upper ridging centered over the Southern HighPlains will produce warmer than average temperatures across the West andCentral U.S. this week. Troughing over the northern tier will keeptemperatures at or below average for parts of the Upper Midwest/GreatLakes.

Flash flooding possible for parts of the Upper Midwest, along withsevere weather...Burgeoning heat wave for the Great Lakes into the Ohio Valley andNortheast starting Monday and continuing through the week...Heavy rain and flash flooding possible for the central and northwestGulf Coast through Tuesday...Late-season wet snow for the northern Rockies Monday and Tuesday...A very active pattern is in store for the Lower 48 this week which willfeature a variety of weather hazards: Heavy rain and flash flooding: two areas are noted for the potentialfor flash flooding/heavy rain along with severe weather. The first overthe Upper Midwest as multiple rounds of heavy rain push through theDakotas into Minnesota, where there is a Moderate Risk of excessiverainfall (central MN) and a Slight Risk of severe weather (per SPC) onMonday (Nebraska northward to MN). The second will be near the Gulf ofMexico. Tropical moisture will surge northward and westward from southernLouisiana westward into Texas through Tuesday (and into Wednesday),including in and around the Houston metro area. In addition, the NationalHurricane Center is monitoring the southwestern Gulf of Mexico forpossible future tropical development over the next few days. Rising temperatures over the northeastern 1/4 of the CONUS willapproach and exceed record highs (including record warm overnight lows)over the Midwest/Great Lakes into the Northeast Mon/Tue (and beyond). Hightemperatures will climb well into the 90s for many areas, with upper 90spossible in the lower elevations in the East on Tuesday. Overnight lowsmay only drop into the upper 60s to mid 70s, offering little relief fromthe heat. The experimental HeatRisk outlooks shows Major to Extreme levelsfor many areas, owing to the duration of the upcoming heat wave. This isin stark contrast to the record cool temperatures Sunday morning overparts of the Northeast. Cool and snowy conditions will be impacting parts of the NorthernRockies over the next couple of days as a broader upper trough movesthrough the West. Temperatures will be well below normal for mid-June, andeven near record cold for the date. The snow will be limited to higherelevations in Montana (especially above 7000ft), but accumulating snow islikely even down to 5000ft or so. This heavy and wet snow may cause sometree damage and power outages, and will likely make travel difficultacross some of the passes. Hot/dry/breezy conditions over parts of the Southwest will result in ahigh fire danger over the next day or so, especially over northeasternArizona, southeastern Utah, and into western New Mexico. Critical fireconditions are forecast for these regions per SPC, with a broader Elevatedrisk for much of the Four Corners and even into the Sacramento/San JoaquinValley on Monday.
Scattered severe thunderstorms and locally heavy rain possible acrossthe Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and parts of the Central Plains through thisevening......Severe weather and flash flood risks shift to the Northern Plains andUpper Midwest this weekend......Above average summer heat continues across much of the Southern Tierbefore expanding into the Midwest by Sunday...A summer weather pattern ripe for mid-June is expected through thisweekend across CONUS, with scattered areas at risk for strongthunderstorms and building heat across the southern and middle sections ofthe country. After a few days of drenching rain throughout the central andsouthern Florida Peninsula, lingering showers and storms could spawnscattered instances of renewed flooding across far southern Floridatonight before rain chances diminish this weekend. This same plume oftropical moisture is forecast to slide toward the central Gulf Coast onSunday and could lead to areas of heavy rain throughout southern Louisianaand Mississippi. Meanwhile, a cold front progressing across the Northeastand Mid-Atlantic this afternoon has led to showers and thunderstorms thatcould contain intense rainfall rates and gusty winds. A few of thesestorms could turn severe through this evening as the cold front eventuallypushes offshore by early Saturday. Following this cold front, arefreshingly dry airmass in place should lead to beautiful weather thisFather's Day weekend throughout the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and OhioValley.A developing storm system over the north-central U.S. will lead to activeand stormy weather extending from the Northern/Central Plains to the UpperGreat Lakes. The first round of showers and storms associated with aleading system is forecast to spark thunderstorm activity across theCentral High Plains late this afternoon through the overnight period. Afew storms could contain large hail, damaging wind gusts, and intenserainfall rates capable of leading to flash flooding. After weakeningovernight, these showers could push into the Upper Midwest by Saturday,with redeveloping storms extending from the central Plains to the MiddleMissouri Valley. Multiple rounds of heavy rain could lead to areas offlash flooding between eastern Nebraska and northern Wisconsin.Additionally, the trailing and stronger system organizing over theNorthern Plains on Saturday will help produce strong to severethunderstorms across parts of eastern Montana and North Dakota. By the endof the weekend a frontal boundary is expected to bisect the Upper Midwestand Northern Plains, creating a focus for additional rounds of showers andstorms.The other main weather story this weekend will be the simmering heatimpacting areas from the Southwest to the Gulf Coast and Southeast. Highsare forecast to reach the triple digits throughout much of the DesertSouthwest, with upper 90s stretching from the Southeast to parts of theSouthern Plains. Above average temperatures are also forecast across thecentral Great Basin and northern Plains ahead of a cold front, with wellbelow average temperatures encompassing the Pacific Northwest. By Sunday,an upper level ridge is anticipated to begin building across the EasternU.S., with anomalous heat starting in much of the Midwest, Central Plains,and Tennessee Valley. Highs are forecast to reach the upper 90s, withmaximum heat indices near 105 degrees. When combined with warm overnightlows, major heat risk could affect anyone without effective cooling and/oradequate hydration. Be sure to remain weather aware and follow proper heatsafety!
Sunny 68 New York City and Philly Dry but Chilly Boston, Showers in ChicagoAbove than average temperatures across West and Central U.S; GreatLakes experience below average temperatures mid-week.A quieter than normal period of weather is underway across the CONUS andis forecast to continue until Thursday. Tonight, scattered showers andthunderstorms will develop along a pair of cold fronts propagating throughthe Northern/Central Plains and Upper Midwest. Some rain showers may alsooccur along the SoCal coast as well. More scattered to isolated rainshowers and thunderstorms will spread into the Southern Plains, LowerMississippi Valley, Midwest and Great Lakes on Tuesday. Two low pressuresystems will consolidate and spread showers and thunderstorms across theNortheast and Mid-Atlantic on Wednesday. Storms are also forecast todevelop over parts of the Southern Plains and Lower Mississippi ValleyWednesday and continue into that evening.An amplifying pattern over the eastern Pacific and Western CONUS willinfluence temperatures over the next couple of days. Strong southerly flowinto the West/Southwest will support above average temperatures throughWednesday. Temperatures will be above average over the High Plains as wellduring this period. An upper trough moving through the Great Lakes onWednesday will support below average temperatures into the Northeastthrough Thursday.
Publishers Note: This episode will be an addendum to my initial coverage in October 2023 of the Gaza-Israel conflict in Episode 027 and riffing off the domestic implications in Episode 037 of a similar attack on CONUS. You can find those episodes here in the podcast files at LI. If you wish to listen to those before you do this one, you may but I have crafted this so that isn't necessary. We are closing to midnight now than October 2023. I finished reading “Sand and Steel: The D-Day Invasion and the Liberation of France” by Peter Caddick-Adams, and I am now reading his follow-on book, “Snow & Steel: The Battle of the Bulge 1944-45” in which he also highlights the victory fever that fatally compromised Operation Market Garden in Arnhem in Holland and seriously compromised the Allied response to the Ardennes offensive in December 1944. Like Ian Toll's Pacific trilogy, this is a masterful treatise with the depth, scholarship and footnotes that give new insights. History rhymes and we see the same thing with the tremendous triumphalist narrative in the west right now that they can best any martial opponent on Earth despite a near perfect record of military failure since 1945. Some housekeeping: I have taken a break from Gab and Twitter; I returned to Twitter after years away to help promote the podcast and I have had to tame the vampire by severely restricting the time I spend on it.

Dangerous Flash Flooding likely across Central/Southern California intoearly next week.Heavy Snow will cause extreme impacts over much of the Sierra Nevada onSunday and Monday.Anomalous warmth continues across Northern/Central Plains andUpper/Middle Mississippi Valley.A highly amplified upper-level pattern will support multiple sensibleweather hazards across the CONUS over the next few days. Moderate to heavysnowfall will continue across parts of the Northern/Central Rockiesthrough Sunday before coming to an end Sunday night. Heavy rainfall andscattered thunderstorms will spread into central California tonight as awarm front associated with an approaching low pressure system focusesmoisture and instability over the area. A Slight Risk of ExcessiveRainfall (level 2/4) is in effect for portions of the central Californiacoast from the Bay Area down through Big Sur. Conditions worsen on Sundayas the low pressure system arrives along the California coast. There is aHigh Risk of Excessive Rainfall (level 4/4) over portions of SantaBarbara, Ventura and Los Angeles Counties where the combination of highmoisture, instability and lift (cold front) will produce a dangerous FlashFlooding situation. It's strongly recommended that people: heed warningsfrom emergency management personnel, the local forecast office guidanceand avoid driving through flooded roadways. Broader Moderate (level 3/4)and Slight Risk areas will encompass most of the central and southerncoast as well as upslope areas of the Sierra Nevada and parts of theCentral Valley. This moisture plume will spread east into the Sierra,leading to an extremely impactful heavy snow event over the mountains andactually spilling over into portions of the western Great Basin. WinterStorm Warnings are in effect for the aforementioned areas where 4-6'+ ofsnow is probable. High winds will also be a significant issue withwhipping rain in the low elevations and blowing snow likely in the Sierraon Sunday. The focus for heavy rainfall and scattered thunderstorms shiftinto southern California Sunday night into Monday as the upper lowcontinues to direct energy and moisture into the region beneath apersistently strong jet streak. A Moderate Risk of Excessive Rainfall isin effect for portions of Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego and RiversideCounties where the strong cold front will act as a focus for potentialflash flooding.Elsewhere, a developing low pressure system will focus heavy rain andthunderstorms across the central Gulf Coast tonight.

From the azure waters of Hawaii to the bustling corridors of Washington's power centers, Dr. Joseph Carvalho has navigated a fascinating journey. This retired Army Major General has dived deep into the world of military medicine, and this week, we bring you an intriguing conversation about his experiences. His story starts in Hawaii, takes him to Gonzaga University on an ROTC scholarship, and then to the Uniform Services University of the Health Sciences, where he earned his medical degree. Along the way, he's held roles as an Internist, Nuclear Medicine Physician, and Cardiologist, as well as Commander of several important military medical Commands and as Joint Staff Surgeon advising the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He now serves as the president and CEO of the Henry M Jackson Foundation. Dr. Carvalho doesn't just share his story, he unpacks what it means to serve in the medical arena of the military. Get ready for a deep exploration into the career paths, diversity of roles, and leadership challenges medical officers face in combat environments. We talk about his time commanding medical units during wartime, managing wounded warriors at major military hospitals like BAMC and Walter Reed, and the intricacies of military healthcare. We also delve into the factors that make military medical facilities stand out, the importance of military medical research, and the recent developments in transgender acceptance in the military. We round up our conversation with a spotlight on the Henry M Jackson Foundation, where Dr. Carvalho now serves as the president and CEO. As we navigate this chapter of his journey, we discover the role this foundation plays in bridging the gap between civilian and military medicine. We dissect the needed balance between medical research and addressing human frailty in healthcare. So, join us as we traverse through the exciting, complex, and critical world of military healthcare. Don't miss this opportunity to gain insights from an expert who's been on the frontlines, and don't forget to bring your curiosity along for the ride. Take Home Messages: The path to a successful career in Military Medicine is a multifaceted one, requiring a combination of rigorous academic training, diverse professional experiences, and adaptability in different roles and environments. Military Medicine goes beyond clinical practice and includes roles such as a joint staff surgeon and leading a major foundation focused on advancing military healthcare. Working in different roles within Military Medicine, such as commanding deployed and CONUS medical units during wartime, offers unique insights into the leadership challenges faced by medical officers in combat environments. The intricacies of military healthcare can be seen in the distinct experiences of managing wounded warriors at major Army hospitals like BAMC and Walter Reed. The intersection of civilian and Military Medicine is crucial in advancing healthcare. One such instance is the Henry M. Jackson Foundation's work in bridging this gap. The diversity of roles within Military Medicine extends to working with different military groups such as Special Forces and Ranger Regiment soldiers, each with unique healthcare needs. San Antonio's medical facilities stand out due to the availability of resources, a Level 1 Trauma designation, the proximity to other medical facilities, and a supportive local community. Military medical research plays a vital role in enhancing the healthcare provided to soldiers, with a focus on meeting unique requirements and adapting to the speed of the warfighter's needs. The recent developments in transgender acceptance in the military highlight the ongoing evolution of military healthcare in line with societal changes. Navigating a career in Military Medicine requires personal resilience, a deep sense of service, and a willingness to continually learn and adapt to new environments and challenges.

Andrea interviews Lisa Rosenthal, CEO of defense and intelligence consulting firm Mayvin. Starting from just a concept scribbled on a napkin, Lisa grew Mayvin from zero to $90 million in revenue with 500 employees in just over 10 years. She shares her journey of entrepreneurship, overcoming challenges, and leading with integrity. Lisa offers insights on topics like company culture, work-life balance, making tough decisions, and always putting people first. KEY TAKEAWAYS Starting a successful business takes drive, integrity, and surrounding yourself with the right people who share your values and work ethic. Don't let inexperience hold you back if you have a strong mission-driven purpose. Work-life integration is more realistic than work-life balance. Be present wherever you are, and don't feel guilty about shifting priorities day to day. Hire carefully, fire quickly. Keeping someone who is no longer a good fit for the company culture hurts you and them. Have the courage to make needed changes. As a leader you will have to work with individuals who have had very different life experiences, it's important to tailor your narrative and decisions to suit multiple generations. Communicating with your leaders is key, they can't implement change or address things they do not know about. Leading means making tough calls that won't always please everyone. Stay focused on the greater good while still showing that you care about people. Listen to employees and keep communication open. Provide training budgets, meaningful mental health support, and show you care in tangible ways. Foster a growth mindset in your team. Believe abilities can be developed with effort. Surround yourself with people smarter than you. BEST MOMENTS"I quickly discovered that supporting The U. S. government, as well as now NATO and NATO countries, was my calling." "The struggle is constant. And you want to put people over profits, but at what point does it end? How do you do the right thing all the time?" "Careful to hire quick to fire. You have to know when the person is no longer right for your stage in your company or that stage in your life." “We're [CEOs] doing the best we can with what we have” "I'd like to have a life. Please don't call me at 10 o'clock at night. I enjoy spending time with my significant other." “You know how to get ahead, you work for it” VALUABLE RESOURCESLike the show?

The Cognitive Crucible is a forum that presents different perspectives and emerging thought leadership related to the information environment. The opinions expressed by guests are their own, and do not necessarily reflect the views of or endorsement by the Information Professionals Association. During this episode, US Army LTC Brian Burbank discusses the Ghost Team's immersive information operations training capability at the National Training Center at Fort Irwin, California. The Ghost Team challenges brigade-sized units with multi-domain dynamics so that we can win the first battle of the next war. Research Question: Brian Burbank observes that everyone is talking about Artificial Intelligence and how it's going to change modern warfare. The real question is how, and how do we make it useful to help a Commander win? Lots of value to automate the science of Leadership, so Commanders can apply the Art to enhance our information dominance (Our OODA loop is faster than our adversaries). But if it doesn't help Commanders win, then it won't be of value.

Jocelyn Stewart attended Louisiana's designated honors college, the Louisiana Scholars' College, in Natchitoches, Louisiana from 1996 to 2000. After being awarded a three-year ROTC cadet scholarship and a scholarship from the honors college, she graduated first in her class of honors students, summa cum laude, and “with highest distinction.” Ms. Stewart commissioned Distinguished Military Graduate from Northwestern State University's Demon Battalion as a Second Lieutenant in Military Intelligence. She was selected to attend law school as an educational delay student from 2000 – 2003. In 2005, Ms. Stewart became a “trial counsel,” which means that she was the command's legal advisor in military justice matters and whenever the command elected to prosecute any of its Soldiers, Ms. Stewart went to court to try the cases. Ms. Stewart prides herself not only in her nearly flawless courtroom record but also in the cases she advised the command not to take to court. In 2012, Ms. Stewart left active service to pursue a solo practice dedicated to defending servicemembers worldwide, with particular emphasis in sexual assault investigations and sexual assault court-martial defense. As a civilian court-martial specialist, she has represented clients OCONUS and all over CONUS, from the west coast to the east coast, the gulf coast and the Midwest. Her clients serve the Army, the Air Force, the Navy, the Marine Corps, and even the Coast Guard.
