Some young kid just stopped, looked up at the sky, stood in wonder, and will now become a fighter pilot in the future.

People are our ultimate competitive advantage. The new Cyber Mastery Incentive Pay program - part of Project Patriot Pipeline - is transforming the way @DeptofWar recruits, develops, and retains the skilled cyber operators required to command the digital domain. war.gov/News/Releases/Releas…

Shipyards don’t run on steel alone. They run on skilled Americans who choose to build, repair, and sustain the fleet. If we want more ships ready for the fight, we need to invest in the workforce. The future of naval readiness starts with the people who build it.

We are asking our people to solve modern challenges with systems built for a different era. The future belongs to organizations that can identify, develop, and employ talent faster than their competitors. Appreciate @FedScoop for the conversation.

America’s Reserve Force doesn’t just bring military experience. It brings entrepreneurs, engineers, teachers, healthcare workers, and innovators into the fight. That’s a competitive advantage no adversary can easily replicate.

We don’t need more programs. We need the programs we already have to work together. Project Patriot Pipeline is bringing dozens of workforce initiatives under one roof to make it easier for Americans to find a path to service and purpose.
