Correct. Enlistment is a contract. Commission is an appointment by Congress “at the pleasure of the President” (Alas…) Under the law, officers serve to provide “best military advice” to the President & Congress. Here is the Oath of Commission I reaffirmed as a retiree on Nat’l Constitution Day.

Open discussion question: What would the pros and cons be of using repeal of the Permanent Apportionment Act as a mitigation strategy for gerrymandering?

I'm a fan of the Roadhouse Rule: Be nice, until it's time to not be nice.

I developed these nine principles of Communication-Based Leadership while serving in the field as a Marine Corps Public Affairs Officer, because hyper-connectivity at the speed of Send was just emerging & it was obvious to me the doctrinal “principles of information” at the time were insufficient.

In difficult times, community can be a lifeline. As we prepare for the fight ahead, consider the communities you are a part of: • How can you strengthen your communities? • Do you feel supported by your communities? • If not, where else could you find community to get the support you need?
