At the Navy League Lone Star Region Meeting held in February in Salado, CDR B. A. Miller, Navy Recruiting District Dallas addressed the group about the challenges facing Navy recruiters. Following is an ex-cerpt from the Navy League U. S. 2019-2020 Maritime Policy publication, which addresses this issue in detail.

The sustained presence of the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and U.S.-flag Merchant Marine in hot spots around the globe demonstrates our resolve, ensures access to sea lanes and deters conflict. Our strength shows that the United States can and will prevail across the full spectrum of conflict. We need hulls in the water and boots on deck, globally deployed and ready to act.

Here at home, all our military services are struggling to recruit and retain the force. American sea power is fighting to retain sufficient talent and diverse skills needed to keep the national fleet properly manned, trained and equipped. We must invest in people, capability, capacity and readiness— all are necessary to successfully carry out the “National Security Strategy.”

As the extraordinarily high demand for sea service support across the globe continues, we applaud the funding Congress and the president are beginning to provide. Moving forward, we must ensure budgets restore the readiness of our maritime forces and provide the necessary man power and training to effectively employ our capabilities.

We also recognize that our Navy personnel are deploying for extend-ed periods that are often up to nine months away from their homeport. Marines are deploying at a rate that far exceeds the one-to-two deployed-to-dwell ratio that is needed to keep them highly effective. The demands on Coast Guard personnel continue at a high pace. Given the “war for talent” in recruiting and the small percentage of those who are qualified to serve, it is essential that the sea services support family and personal health to ensure retention. The number of mariners available to man our Maritime Security Program (MSP) and federal reserve sea lift ships in time of war continue to fall short of requirements. This shortfall must be addressed to have the necessary surge capability.

As we work our way out of the many years of reduced budgets we must continue to attract, train and retain intelligent, highly motivated and capable men and women. An all-volunteer force that is the premier fighting force in the world must not see its leaders retreat from responsibility. The sea services must have the right people to man and operate its ships, planes and equip-ment, and be the warfighters our country needs at the tip of the spear. They must receive adequate pay raises in accordance with the 2003 law that ties military pay raises to private sector growth, as well as high-quality support infrastructure including housing, commissaries and exchanges, and modern office and classroom facilities. Additionally, we must recognize the delete-rious effect of reduced training time and resources, extended deployment periods and reduced dwell time on our servicemen and women. This has been exacerbated by continuing resolutions and sequestration, and we must not revert to these budgeting practices again. Recruiting and retention are dependent on compensation, health care benefits, retirement and quality of life to attract and retain dedicated and qualified professionals, while training and education are mandatory for operational readiness.

U. S. ARMY FUTURES COMMANDArmy Futures Command, which began

operations on July 1, will lead the Army’s future force modernization enterprise. The command is expected to assess the future operational environment, emerging threats, and new technologies in order to develop and deliver concepts, requirements, future force designs, and modern materiel solutions to meet our Soldiers’ wartime needs.

The Army has worked hard increasing current readiness and strengthening its combat

formations. Futures Command will provide that same focus to future readiness by fine tuning and implementing the service’s modernization strategy to increase the Army’s lethality against near-peer competitors in tomorrow’s conflicts.

Futures Command will lead the Army’s force modernization efforts; it is charged with providing Soldiers the weapons and equipment they need, when they need them. This new four-star command will complement the Army’s other four-star headquarters

Presidents’ Message cont’d

The Greater Austin Council welcomes the Army Futures Command and CSM Mi-

chael Crosby to our April dinner. This may be a first, there’s no way to know, with the Navy League hosting an Army speaker, but we’re an equal opportunity Council and with the Command selecting Austin as its headquarters, we wanted to know more. The Futures Command is a major shift in organizational structure for the Army, as you’ll read in the article on page 2. It’s also a first for Austin, TX, which isn’t really known for its affinity to anything military. We’re honored and excited to welcome CSM Crosby to our city and our Council.

The Council is taking a leap of faith and signing up for a trial run with Flipcause, which is an association management platform of sorts that will help us broaden our reach, increase awareness of the Council and subsequently increase membership, help us to fund raise more efficiently and effectively, handle our reservations and online payments, and ease the chores some of our volunteers become consumed by. We are also trying to expand our social media presence in an effort to reach recently separated service (read younger) members. We’d like to hear from you as we progress through this process.

Kudos to board member Katie Febres who obtained five large boxes of books from Half Price Books in Cedar Park that were delivered to the VA Outpatient Clinic to replenish their library. The Council also received autographed books from author Rick Camp-bell that will go to the clinic and some of which will be in the raffle at the dinner on the 18th.

Additional kudos go to Lisa Sullivan who receive a grant from HEB to support a second refreshment table at the VA Clinic. The first refreshment was held in February 2018 and Council members and cadets from the Bastrop High School NJROTC program served nachos to more than 350 vets at the clinic. Although no date has yet been set for the event anyone wishing to help should contact Lisa at 512-589-2909 or email lisa@infuse.com.

Several Council board member recently attended the Lone Star Region meeting in Salado. This conference brings together the leadership of the eight Navy League Councils that extend from the Dallas/Ft. Worth area to Corpus Christi and cities in between. In addition to the Council representation, NLUS was represented by National President Alan Kaplan, National President-Elect Bill Stephenson, along with Gerald Saunders, Sr. Vice President Council Outreach and Member Services.

Spring is here as is tax time April 15, and weather that can’t decide if it is hot or cold, rain or shine; and there’s the stress

of preparing for upcoming projects at work or school tests (STAAR, SAT, college finals), and allergies—oh, the horror of watery eyes and running noses from off-the-chart cedar and oak pollen. I hate this time of year.

Spring is here in Central Texas as well, so many goat and cattle ranches now have calves and kids playing in the pasture. The bluebonnets are out, blanketing the highways and farm-to-market roads across the area. But if you take time to look closer —or remember from your 7th grade biology class —other Texas flowers are poking out as well, from yellow and red Mex-ican Hats to pink Primrose. And Schlitterbahn and swimming in the lakes is just around the corner. I love this time of year.

Spring is a time of renewal not just of nature but of our-selves, as seen in the many traditions of Easter and Passover holidays. Take a moment to pull over to the side of the road and take a closer look at the signs and wonders around us that perhaps we have taken for granted for many months or years, overlooked the rest of the year. Take a moment to contact old friends or shipmates whose company once brought you joy, and renew that friendship. Spend extra time mentoring children, either your own, or volunteer time at your church, local school, or a non-profit event to watch them grow to make the world we live in together a better place. Train and then sign up to go on your first organized run or group bike ride or other outdoor activity that is new and different and will briefly let you in on a glimpse of God and nature's wonders everyday. Find a side of yourself that brings you and the world around you joy that you have not experienced before. -Amen

RECRUITING, FROM PAGE 1COUNCIL STEM APPLICATION DEADLINE APPROACHING

Greater Austin area middle and high school JROTC/Sea Cadet/Young Marine programs are invited to apply to the Greater Austin Council NLUS for the STEM grant funding. Funding will be provided by the Navy League U. S. STEM Institute. The council may only submit one request per year to the STEM Institute, thus project applications will be accepted by the council through April 30, 2019 for projects that may be completed during the 2019-2020 school year.

Should the council receive multiple applications, the project deemed to have the most merit in line with the STEM guidelines and need, will be chosen and the applicant will be notified. The council will then work with the applicant to obtain matching funds, complete their application, and submit it to the NLUS STEM Committee for consideration.

Applications must include the following:• Name of the school and/or unit applying• Contact person and contact information (phone, email)• Date of the project• Detailed project description• Projected expenditures• Projected outcomesThe council hopes that our adopted JROTC/Sea Cadet/Young

Marine units will take advantage of this opportunity to expand their STEM skills.

Project applications should be submitted via email to navyleagueaustin@gmail.com no later than April 30, 2019.

today’s graduating high school seniors are eligible to enlist in the services, we must have the tools to compete to attract the right ones.

Navy manning should be set at 335,000 personnel if the Navy is to fight and win in major combat operations, succeed in irregular warfare and perform humanitarian disaster response. Additionally, ship deployment schedules should not exceed the nominal six-month deployment cycle, with sufficient downtime and training periods to assure the effectiveness of our Sailors.

The Marine Corps’ optimal end strength of 186,500 active duty and 38,500 Reserve forces. This is critical to ensure it is able to reshape the post-drawdown force, maintain a one-to-two deployed-to-dwell ratio, and is ready to respond when called upon.

The Coast Guard is a critical component of our national defense capability and should be maintained at 47,069 personnel. Since 9/11, the service has been thrust into mission-rich environment but has not been given sufficient personnel. The Coast Guard must be resourced appropriately to safely and proficiently execute evolving missions, while maintaining its core competencies.

The U.S.-flag Merchant Marine remains a critical component of our sea services. As such, sufficient funding for education and train-ing of merchant mariners is needed to ensure an adequate pool of skilled personnel for the commercial maritime industry and military strategic sealift activities. Recapitalization of the five training ships and full funding of maritime academies assistance, including the student incentive programs at the six state maritime academies, will ensure our merchant mariners have the training they need. We must rely on this force to provide sealift in time of peace, crisis and war. Sea service personnel should be recognized for their extreme value to this nation. Our men and women in uniform make up the finest fighting force and global force for good. Government and industry must invest in workforce training and education to attract and retain high-quality professionals. It is critical that the next generation of Sailors, Marines, Coast Guard men and women, and merchant mar-iners be prepared to face the challenges ahead and excel as leaders. There are many excellent programs for educating and motivating America’s youth to achieve the highest standards of personal excel-lence, moral integrity, patriotism, and mental and physical fitness. Supporting youth programs such as the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps, the Navy League Cadet Corps, Young Marines and Junior RTOC is an investment in our nation’s future. There must be a concerted effort to achieve excellence in all areas of educating and training America’s youth, particularly in the areas of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM)

Establishment of the command marks the most significant reorganization of the institutional Army since 1973, when it created U.S. Army Forces Command (FORSCOM) and U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC). Unique in structure and design, it is being headquartered in Austin, Texas to better partner with academia, industry, and innovators in the private sector, while providing a good and affordable quality of life for Futures Command personnel.

Suicide Prevention: Active Duty Suicide Prevention: What the Navy is Doing (Second in a Series on Suicide Prevention)

Lisa SullivanSTOP Texas Suicides

Suicide Prevention Co-Coordinator

Our active duty, reserve and guard personnel can also be at risk of suicide. The Navy considers suicide prevention as a part of force readiness and a top priority. Therefore, our role as Navy League members is essential to support service connected families who may be at increased risk. Some of the initiatives underway within the Navy include:

1 Small ACT Campaign – 30 Small ACTs to practice being there for yourself or others. Includes tips promoting positive coping skills and self-care, psychological and physical well-being, peer support and more. 1 Small ACT

provides helpful suggestions about community engagement to improve resiliency and support for our service connected families. Take a moment to review the calendar at this link to see what opportunities or activities may be available to you or our Council.

https://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/support/21st_Century_Sailor/suicide_prevention/spmonth/Documents/2018%2030%20Days%20of%20Small%20ACTs.pdf

What Can We do Now? First and foremost, know the warning signs of someone at

risk of suicide. These warning signs are generally consistent in our civilian and service connected populations. According to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, these warning signs typically fall into one of three categories:

Talking about Feelings:• No reason to live • Perceived burden to others • Hopelessness • Unbearable Pain (physical or emotional)

Changes in Behavior• Increased use of alcohol or drugs• Looking for ways to end one’s life • Withdrawing from activities • Isolating from family or friends • Sleeping too much or too little • Calling or visiting people to say good bye • Giving away prized possessions• Fatigue

Changes in Mood:• Depression• Anxiety • Loss of interest

• Irritability • Agitation/Anger• Relief/Sudden Improvement

Humiliation/shame health, environmental and historical factors can also play a role. These include:

Health Factors: • Mental health conditions • Serious physical health conditions including chronic pain • Traumatic brain Injury

Environmental or situational factors: • Access to lethal means, such as firearms and drugs• Prolonged stress in relationships, schools, or workplace • Stressful life events, like rejection, divorce, financial crisis, or

other life transitions • Exposure to another person’s death by suicide (including

media and entertainment depictions)

Personal History: • Trauma• Abuse • Family history of suicide • Military sexual trauma, and other similar experiences.

Recently, the VA has launched the Mayor’s Challenge to Prevent Suicide Among Service Members, Veterans and their Families. Last spring, Houston was selected as one of eight cities nationally to form an interagency team to increase suicide prevention support in their communities. In Fall 2018, Austin was added and Mayor Adler has assembled a team under the leadership of Sly Majid, Chief Service Officer for the Office of the Mayor. Members of this team recently traveled to Washington D.C. to work with the Department of Veterans Affairs, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration and other subject matter experts to continue their strategy development across numerous local, state and national partners to improve suicide prevention outcomes for Texas service members, veterans and their families. This strategy and its priorities should be finalized this summer.

We all have a role in suicide prevention. Through the Greater Austin Council of the Navy League, we can each do our part to help keep our members and broader sea service community #suicidesafer by working together in outreach, building community connections, learning about warning signs, and equipping ourselves with basic, lifesaving gatekeeper skills. Let’s keep building the Navy League’s footprint to ensure we reach each sea service connected family in our region and connect them to the resources or support they may need.
