I make the point about taking the time to seek help and to provide help because it is critical that we do so. I have found that the further we immerse reserve forces into active duty commands, the more challenging it is to provide proper career guidance for individual reservists. Take the time to find out, and perhaps meet a future Reserve Force Master Chief in the making. On another note, I would like to encourage each of you to join some sort of military advocacy group or organization. There are plenty of these groups around who speak for active duty and reserve service personnel.
Some groups speak louder and more effectively than others.
If you feel that Congress may be missing the mark with regard to our pay or your benefits, one or more of the following organizations can lawfully inform them of your thoughts about the situation. Once you decide which organization best represents your ideas, support that organization with you membership and your time. In closing, know that I take great pride and share in your triumphs as a fellow reservist.
