In this episode of Chattinn Cyber, Marc Schein interviews retired Lieutenant General Vince Stewart. He is the Chief Innovation and Business Intelligence Officer at Ankura and Founder/CEO of Stewart Global Solutions. In previous roles, he has served as the Director of Intelligence at the USMC, Commanding General of the Marine Forces Cyberspace Command, Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, and Deputy Commander of the US Cyber Command. Born in Jamaica, Vince was determined to live the American dream. In 1971, he and his sister joined their mother in the US with nothing but hope and a vision — no titles, no special privileges, only the basics. He learned to play American football and started at Western Illinois University with a scholarship, eventually being recruited into the US Army ROTC program. He was determined to serve and give back to the country that gave him all these opportunities. 38 years later, Vince retired with many medals and distinctions, all of which he modestly credits to the individuals who served beside him. Vince speaks deeply to his transition from public to private sector and how despite many years of experience, many challenges still emerged. While in the public sector he was executing the budgets, the private sector forced him to maneuver making the budget and consider the margins in order to facilitate it. The heavy reliance on litigation in the private sector was also a learning point for Vince. Vince strongly advocates for “collective defense” – a collaboration between organizations and government agencies for sharing intelligence and solutions to win the fight against the very real threats in cyberspace. Around 60% of large companies ($100 million +) never recover from a data breach. Vince explains the misconception that large companies are the only ones at risk – some criminals want $20 million, but some want just $5000! The mere fact that we all have data that we want to protect is a point of great interest to nation-states and criminals. As a company, around 70% of breaches are as a result of insider activity. Vince talks about the evolution of phishing and how susceptible many people are to those types of schemes. About 5% of people are curious enough to open an email with the subject line “don’t open this email.” What about the other 95%? Smarter criminals are developing socially engineered phishing, in the form of ads tailored to a person’s interests – you see the ad and you click on the link. To learn more about Vince’s incredible career, from landing in America with nothing but the basics, to climbing the ladder and becoming the Deputy Commander of the United States Cyber Command, listen to this episode of Chattinn Cyber with Marc Schein.  

One of the pathways to become an officer in the United States Army is through the participation in the Reserved Officers Training Corps or ROTC.  A large number of universities offer ROTC training and students who participate in this training (called cadets) will endure 4 years of classroom and field training. The crucial part of the ROTC program is attending Advanced Camp.  Advanced Camp occurs during the summer between a cadet's junior and senior year.  Cadets converge on select military installations (in my day, it was Fort Riley) where they participate in a variety of exercises and scenarios in an effort to evaluate their leadership skills.   The cumulative score from Advanced Camp is used in order for the cadet to be commissioned as an Army officer. Even though the time at Advanced Camp is relatively short (when I attended, it was about 5 1/2 weeks), the exercises and activities experienced can offer some great leadership and life lessons.  Here are a few things that I learned that may benefit you.

Any number of perspectives or themes can be found in the book—God’s calling; knowing God’s will; His providence—but Jeff and I focused on trusting in God. In the face of fear and uncertainty at certain times throughout his life, I asked Jeff to talk about how God asked Jeff to trust Him and what that looked like in his life, particularly his military career. I also picked out a few key points in his life and quotes from the book and had Jeff fill in the blanks as we discussed the broader topic of trusting God in all things.   //What we talked about Where Jeff’s from and his family life. _ Three things from Jeff’s childhood: First, his fear of death and all the questions that go along with it; second, the fact that he walked alone to a nearby church because no one from his family would go with him; and third, the young couple who visited him to share the Gospel. What was God doing during those early years? _ Jeff went from Burger King to the Army after high school and talks about that period of his life. Looking back, where were God’s fingerprints during this period of life? _ Jeff comments on these two quotes: “What I was learning about the unknown was that sometimes its advance billing sounds worse than the reality…The experience, in fact, can be an opportunity to train for an even greater task down the road.” “I had learned to keep performing even if the circumstance wasn’t fair. The enemy wasn’t always going to fight fair. No use whining about it.” _ The impact of Kurt Smith in Jeff’s life, and how Kurt’s conversion caused a lot of guilt and introspection in Jeff’s life. _ Jeff comments on this quote from his book: “A lot of people look down on a soldier who’s a Christian, thinking he’s automatically weaker than the rest. He is assumed to be too compassionate and distracted with moral restrictions to be tough, that the enemy on the battlefield can exploit his weakness more easily.” _ When he was with the Third Ranger Battalion, Jeff talked about being afraid of failing morally and spiritually. _ Jeff’s deployment to Kuwait, and some difficulties there, would come into play when he deployed to Somalia. “Submitting to a higher authority is one of those life struggles that frustrates us all from time to time, both in and outside of the military.” _ Jeff gives a quick summary of what was going on in Somalia, why we were there, and his role in the mission. What did it look like to trust God during this deployment? _ After the events in Mogadishu, Jeff found himself fielding all sorts of questions, and some frustrations about God and other spiritual matters, from the men he served with because they knew he was a Christian. “I didn’t try to talk them out of their strong feelings. I just let them vent. Far greater minds than mine have struggled with why pain and suffering are so rampant in our world and how much of it is humanity’s fault.” _ How God called Jeff into the ministry and the ruckus that news caused around Ft. Benning. Jeff talks about what did this do to his faith and trust in God while he waited on Him for a clearer direction. _ After some time, Jeff found himself back in the Army, but this time as a chaplain assigned to the Second Ranger Battalion. During a deployment to Iraq, Jeff said those old fears from earlier in his career tried to resurface: “That’s the way it usually is with our fears. We don’t beat them back once and for all. They keep returning to test us, to see if we still have the faith and courage we showed last time.” “The opposite side of fear is not courage. The opposite side of fear is faith.” _ Where does God have Jeff now? What’s on the horizon? _ I ask Jeff: If listeners took away only one thing from our conversation, what would you hope that it would be? _ Jeff recommends “Walking With God Through Pain and Suffering” by Tim Keller for those wanting to read more about the topic of handling difficulties and the struggles of life. _ Jeff closes by talking about one of his books, “Hide and Seek.”   //Book giveaway We have one signed copy of "Hide and Seek" to give away.

“Drive on”: The relationship between psychological variables and effective squad leadership. By Gilson, Todd A.; Dix, Melissa A.; Lochbaum, Marc Military Psychology, Vol 29(1), Jan 2017, 58-67. Abstract The U.S. Reserve Officer Training Program (ROTC) conducts systematic assessments of cadets’ leadership abilities during field training exercises (FTX) to assess their leadership abilities. While cadets in ROTC programs learn specific tactical operation procedures to augment FTX performances, much less is known about the relationship between psychological variables and squad leadership performance. To this end, 220 cadets completed self-efficacy, psychological flexibility, and grit questionnaires, which were then compared to FTX performance scores. Results underscored that only self-efficacy was significantly related to cadets’ squad leadership ability. Furthermore, prior service in the U.S. Army had no effect on the performance score one attained, highlighting an interesting paradox. Therefore, while self-efficacy can be cultivated through prior experiences, it seems more prudent to educate ROTC cadets on how to apply psychological skills to bolster self-efficacy in preparation for upcoming challenging leadership experiences.
