The U.S. Army’s World Class Athlete Program (WCAP) is an incredible opportunity for Soldiers to represent the United States in top national and international athletic competitions—including the upcoming Summer Olympics. WCAP Soldiers come from all components of the Army, including the Army Reserve. These athletes are selected for their ability to perform at the highest level of their sports while also serving the country.

US Army Reserve website: https://www.usar.army.mil/

Since its inception, WCAP has helped hundreds of Soldier-athletes achieve their goals and make their Olympic dreams a reality. Soldiers receive specialized coaching and access to state-of-the-art training facilities, sports medicine, and physical therapy to help them perform at their best. Additionally, they earn the same great pay and benefits that come with being in the Army Reserve, including education and professional development support, home loan assistance, and family benefits.

Army Reserve service has a built-in support system for these elite athletes that is impossible to replicate elsewhere. Service helps strengthen Soldiers’ dedication to training, ensuring they are ready for whatever challenges come their way, whether in their career or sport. Soldier-athletes are stronger because of the larger Army team.

Soldier-athletes are among the best in their sport, with a growing medal count (100+) to prove it. Some of the WCAP Sports include:

·         Boxing

·         Cycling

·         Track & Field

·         Soccer

·         Shooting

·         Swimming & many others

Join Army Reserve Captain Sarah Beard as she discusses her experience in the Army Reserve and WCAP competing in 3-Position 50m Rifle and 10m Air Rifle events. In addition to earning multiple international medals over the course of her career, Captain Beard qualified as the 2020 Olympic Team Alternate in 10m Air Rifle and can speak on the once-in-a-lifetime chance to compete for a spot in the Olympic Games.

Gotta Catch ‘Em All… Pokémon that is! Parents everywhere are familiar with Pikachu, Eevee and the various card games, video games and shows that coincide with these familiar characters. While some may think that playing Pokémon is merely a fun way to pass the time, Brainly, the world’s largest online learning platform and homework help community is here to show how kids’ love of all things Charizard can be educational.

“The best way to teach kids is to meet them where they are and incorporate things they naturally have an interest in outside of a classroom, like Pokémon, into your lesson plans. Whether you use these characters to teach your latest science lesson or include Meowth in your math problem, there is an educational aspect to Pokémon,” according to Brainly’s Parenting Expert Patrick Quinn.

But just how is Pokémon educational? In honor of National Pokémon Day on February 27th, Brainly shares some ideas.

>> Pokémon and School
Whether you’re learning about science (hello Fire, Water, Electric, Ice, Ground, and more Pokémon types!) or teaching a math lesson, teachers and educators can use Pokémon as part of their lesson plans to engage students. Check out an example on Brainly!

>> Pokémon and Math
Playing Pokémon requires you to use math skills. Your child will practice their addition, subtraction, and multiplication skills all while playing Pokémon.

>> Check Out Those “Punny” Pokémon Names
Did you know many of the Pokémon names are rooted in Greek, Latin, Japanese, and more? Here are some examples:
• Pikachu – “pikapika” is Japanese for “sparkle” and chu is Japanese for “squeak”
• Squirtle – “squirt” means to shoot water and “turtle” is a water-based reptile
• Clefable – “clef” is a musical symbol and “fable” is a fairytale
• Umbreon – “umbra” is the darkest part of a shadow and “eon” is a long period of time

>> Pokémon and Critical Thinking
If your children collect Pokémon cards, encourage them to learn the game. It will teach them critical thinking skills and how to deal with complex situations. Played yourself when you were younger? There is knowledge in nostalgia – test your memory and add Pokémon to your family game nights!

>> Pokémon and the Imagination
Pokémon encourages children to use their imaginations and think outside of the box. The ability to imagine is the key to success in countless professions, including business, science, technology, education, and writing.

Want to learn more ways Pokémon can be educational? We’d be happy to set up an interview with Brainly’s Parenting Expert Patrick Quinn to discuss.

This group gathered together virtually to discuss some of the Good News in their lives.  Everyone was on the same page with the mission to help others.  Here is a little background on each, please look them up and join this Good News Groups outreach, as we plan to promote Operation Warrior Shield  – Healing Their Hidden Wounds

Healing Their Hidden Wounds https://operationwarriorshield.com/

Operation Warrior Shield, Inc.provides comprehensive support programs for service members, veterans, first responders and their families that are focused on transition, health and wellness, employment, prevention of homelessness, peer engagement, and connections to community resources. The emphasis is to help heal their hidden wounds through:

• Helping veterans find jobs
• Eliminating Veteran homelessness
• Teaching Transcendental Meditation
• VETWELL– “Community Based Holistic Wellness” program

OperationWarrior Shield is led by CMSgt(ret) Edward Schloeman, John Walsh, Walter Primoff, and Lt Col. (ret)Patrick Kernan, and Special Advisor Anne Akers.

Over the last 8 years, Ed Schloeman and the late Jerry Yellin, traveled the country speaking on behalf of the non-religious modality of Transcendental Meditation – TM. In turn, they became partners with many veteran service organizations – Wounded Warrior Project, USO, US Army,  USMC, NYC Department of Veterans Services and others.

Today, we have partnered with the David Lynch Foundation to bring proven treatments to help “heal the hidden wounds” and to build resilience to the stresses of life.

Errol’s Mantra

You can make more money, but you can‘t make more time.

When you give someone your time, you are giving them a portion of your life.

Your time is your life.

That is why the greatest gift you can give someone is your time.
