The Gift – To be an NCO is a gift and responsibility. But it can take several years before an NCO understands the burden as a privileged influence. For the Year of the NCO, 1SG Czarina Deck looks back wishing she had appreciated the unparalleled experience of being a young sergeant and imparts what she has learned over the course of 15 Army years. https://youtu.be/j8fA1YD5fn8

Is it Safe to Come Out? -- SPC Nathalie Myers grew up in a community that didn't welcome LGBTQ people. In high school, she thought she was the only gay student. Although her appearance drew suspicions, she kept her sexual orientation confidential for fear of being ostracized. It wasn't until Myers was 20 when she was in the Army that she finally came out. Being in the Army had given her the confidence she needed to be open and true to herself. https://youtu.be/16bWgjuWBnE

Meditation with the Hands (Mindful Monday Episode 6) -- The act of opening and closing the hands can stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system. Similar to progressive relaxation, we bring tension into the body by stretching the hands, then release the tension and allow the hands to rest in a closed position. This is another balancing principle. Sometimes when exploring opposite movements, we find a middle way that has more ease. https://fb.watch/l9RS1J9JjN/
