So I've been trying to work out how to ensure we don't open up an asymmetrical disadvantage in military imagination. It's an incomplete thought at this stage so would love your ideas to round out my thinking. #imagination #doctrine #thinking
Our Comms Director @Nick_Alexander4 has been considering military imagination and whether our doctrine promotes or constrains it #military #futurefight #sundayread

'… if I fail to drive change further – I have fallen short.'
A powerful piece on work-life balance to launch Annie North’s new #PropelHerAUS series ‘Pursuing Work Life Balance in the Military’.
A must-read for all #YourADF members.

So I recently wrote a #TinyLeadershipTale for @GroundCuriosity but the trigger to my leadership realisation came from none other than #DrWho. People laugh when I tell them a two hearted, time travelling, alien that cruises the galaxy in a police box is a mentor but...

It's been a looooong time since I've posted anything physio related, but even in health management now I am bamboozled by how bad the majority of clinicians are at managing pain in relatively fit, young individuals. This may help. #painiac #personfirst #pain
Being part of this team has been so rewarding. I love the work we do generating discourse and introducing people to the power of the written word. Happy Birthday team! #itsourbirthday

Interesting one here; huge value in this, but also value in getting the basics of human performance right too. Role focussed physical training, nutrition and sleep will always be pillars of performance so let's start there. @paulgrant @embarnett78 @stujb77
Could we be using biometrics to better understand training outcomes and targets? Benny Gray thinks so and discusses why in today's #SundayRead | @WarintheFuture #FutureFight #HumanPerformance #Training

This is so cool - I have written imaginings like this on a couple of occassions when thinking about future combat health effects. Now the @USAFMedicine might get to start playing it out for real | @paulgrant

"A flying ambulance heads to a remote airfield somewhere in the Pacific...it's able to land vertically...where troops are under attack. A wounded service member boards and straps into wearable technologies...and the aircraft takes off to a site where his injuries can be treated."

Thanks so much to @FTGNotebook for publishing this little #poem. As I've said before, the Arts can be a powerful tool to challenge us to view the world a little differently, to think a little differently, and even confront some demons and let go. fromthegreennotebook.com/202…
