In this episode, BGen Jackson discusses why leaders don't always need a bias for action and how the Marine Corps has to go on, so not everyone is going to get what they want. We also dive into mentorship between genders and how leaders at all ranks can learn from her experiences - specifically where she was successful in receiving mentorship in a male dominated organization. Join us for a frank discussion on both active duty and reserve leadership.

Michael D. Fay is a former USMC Combat Artist with multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. Mike enlisted in the United States Marine Corps in 1975 and was discharged in 1978 as an 81 mm mortarman (MOS 0341). In 1978, he returned to Penn State Univeristy and graduated in 1982 with a Bachelor of Science in Art Education. In 1983, re-enlisted into the Marines and served as an avionics technician (MOS 6322) in the Presidential Helicopter Squadron (HMX-1) and Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 365 (HMM-365) until 1993. Fay served a tour on recruiting duty (MOS 8411) and was a recruiter of the year for 1989 and 1990. He left active duty at the end of September 1993. Fay returned to service in the USMCR in January 2000. He was assigned as an official combat artist. He is now retired from the Marine Corps. Fay's artwork is in the Marine Corps Combat Art collection, the National Museum of the Marine Corps and the collection of the James A. Michener Art Museum in Doylestown, Pennsylvania.Fay has also had solo exhibitions at the Farnsworth Museum, where he was the target of a protest group. His artwork has been published in Leatherneck Magazine—the official magazine of the Marine Corps Association—and the New York Times. The Guardian called his work "exceptionally moving and thought-provoking", and said, "Over the past decade, Fay has seen action as a war artist with US troops in both Iraq and Afghanistan, but his latest journey was to a military veterans' hospital in Richmond, Virginia. In the resulting New York Times blogs, he relays his meetings with three young men severely wounded in Afghanistan. His account of their injuries and rehabilitation is gripping, but what really deepens the reporting are his drawings, reproduced alongside the articles."Fay has also recorded wounded veterans recovering from their injuries. As part of this work he founded the Joe Bonham Project to document the experiences of the wounded. After retirement, Fay campaigned for enhanced recognition and improved working opportunities for war artists. Fay also uses sculpture. He holds a Master of Fine Arts in Illustration; his thesis was called The Boy Who Drew Soldiers.

The announcement that the Taiwan President will visit the United States in early April has brought renewed attention to the potential conflict between the US and China over Taiwan. Additionally, some experts assert that the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has further intensified the need for the US and China to prepare for a possible military confrontation.Despite this perceived urgency, much of the discourse surrounding a Taiwan conflict focuses on the security concerns motivating both powers and the geopolitical fallout that would occur as a result. Our panel of defense and national security law experts will go beyond this analysis to examine the specific scenarios that could trigger conflict and the strategies that the US might deploy to protect its interests. Join us for a comprehensive discussion on one of the most pressing security challenges of our time.Featuring:-- Col. Mark Cancian, (USMCR, ret.) Senior Adviser, International Security Program, CSIS -- Prof. Julian Ku, Senior Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, Faculty Director of International Programs, and Maurice A.

THE 1,300 YEARS' WAR: THE EVOLUTION OF JUDEO-CHRISTIANITY AND ISLAM AND THEIR ASSOCIATED WARFARE, VOLUME 1 AND 2 by Robert Maddock OPERATION WAPPEN: A WAR THAT NEVER WAS by Robert Maddock The book in two volumes describes the evolution of Judeo Christianity and Islam and 1,300 years of warfare between them. Islam and Christianity follow gods with different characteristics and differing doctrines-free will vs. determinism. They were engaged in bloody conflict from 632 AD until 1856 (Crimean War) when the Ottoman Empire became the "sick man of Europe." It reignited with Egyptian encouragement backed by Soviet money, the arming of Fedayeen terrorists in 1956, and the Six-Day War following Egypt's seizure of the Suez Canal, and has become progressively more serious ever since. Robert K. Maddock Jr. has a love of history. He graduated from St. George's School, Middletown, Rhode Island (52), and Stanford University with a BA (56). He is a captain (USMCR) with active service and reserve duty (56-65), part of which was in the Middle East. He graduated from the University of Virginia with an MD (62). He did five years postgraduate training at University of Utah College of Medicine and University Hospitals of Cleveland, was full-time faculty for three years, and eventually was adjunct professor of medicine (U of Utah) and fellow in the American College of Physicians. His wife, Raija Pönkänen, RN, FNP, is an illustrator. Combined, they have reared nine children. https://www.amazon.com/300-Years-War-Robert-Maddock-ebook/dp/B089DR33X2/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=robert+maddock&qid=1604449007&sr=8-4 http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/robmaddock.mp3

In episode 29, Eugene Yang sits down with Dr. Aaron O'Connell, USMCR to discuss how to appropriately use history to inform the future, the next era of U.S.-China relations, and how the Marine Corps has marketed itself through the ages.

He teaches courses in military history, U.S. foreign policy, U.S. military culture, and the U.S.'s role in the world since 1898. Previously, he served as Director for Defense Policy & Strategy on the National Security Council at the White House. Dr. O'Connell is the author of Underdogs: The Making of the Modern Marine Corps and editor of Our Latest Longest War: Losing Hearts and Minds in Afghanistan.

In his 28+ years in the United States Marines, Michael I. Moffett (LtCol, USMCR) worked his way up to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, and learned many incredible lessons on the way.

Let us talk about a skill everyone in the Marine Corps Reserve should have.

In the Western concept of the military art, there is a food chain. The Political feeds Strategic; Strategic the Operational; Operational the Tactical.Among the military chatting classes, there is a lot of pondering and pontificating about strategy and operational concepts – but what about tactics?If the Tactical level requires, ultimately, a Strategy to help define its purpose – besides logistics, shouldn’t the professional also talk tactics?On this week’s show we’re going to explore that space with returning guest B.A. Friedman, Capt. USMCR, whose latest book from Naval Institute Press, On Tactics, examines the question in great detail.Simply because of its location in the hierarchy, tactics are not a simple thing. As the author states,  “While the sinews of war may be infinite funds, the sinew of tactical prowess is a common outlook, one that contextualizes and unifies doctrine, history, and experience across a military force.”

For the career minded Naval professional, to have a chance for the greatest advancement and promotion, you have to push and push hard. The reputation you build in your first 10 years sets the tone for the rest. Except for very rare exceptions, there are no second chances. There are no pauses - one iffy set of orders - one poorly timed FITREP, and you are on an off-ramp. You must work harder, you must sacrifice, and if you are to have a family young, you need a very strong support structure. For men - there is always the RADM Sestak, USN (Ret) option; wait until post O6, then start. For women though, there are some hard biological facts.The average American woman gets married at age 26. For college-educated women the average age at first birth is ~30. If you want to have more than 2 kids, you need to start earlier. You need to time it right - and Mother Nature has her own schedule that doesn't often match yours. With women making up more of the military than ever, what are the challenges out there biological, cultural, psychological, and relationship wise to "making it happen?" You can't have it all - but how do you get the best mix you can? We will have two guests on to discuss.For the first half hour we will have Major Jeannette Haynie, USMCR, a 1998 graduate from the US Naval Academy, AH-1W Cobra pilot, and  currently a Reservist flying a desk at the Pentagon and working through graduate school - and fellow blogger over at USNIBlog. The second half of the hour, our guest will be Robyn Roche-Paull, US Navy Veteran, wife of a Chief, ICBLC, and author of the book Breastfeeding in Combat Boots.

For the career minded Naval professional, to have a chance for the greatest advancement and promotion, you have to push and push hard. The reputation you build in your first 10 years sets the tone for the rest.Except for very rare exceptions, there are no second chances. There are no pauses, one iffy set of orders, one poorly timed FITREP, and you are on an off-ramp. You must work harder, you must sacrifice, and if you are to have a family young, you need a very strong support structure.For men - there is always the RADM Sestak, USN (Ret) option; wait until post O6, then start the family your peers did 20-yrs ago. For women though, there are some hard biological facts.The average American woman gets married at age 26. For college-educated women the average age at first birth is ~30. If you want to have more than 2 kids, you need to start earlier.  Mother Nature has her own schedule that doesn't often match yours.With women making up more of the military than ever, what are the challenges out there biological, cultural, psychological, and relationship wise to "making it happen?"You can't have it all - but how do you get the best mix you can?We will have two guests on to discuss.
