5.     Conducted Company Training meeting

6.     Completed administrative tasks

7.     Briefed Company Commander

8.     Ran 3 miles

9.     Cooked dinner

10.  Started homework

 

Today was a productive and structured day filled with both professional and personal responsibilities. My morning began early with a 1-hour workout focused on my chest, shoulders, and triceps. This gave me the energy I needed to move into the workday with momentum. After cleaning up, I conducted a morning meeting with my Platoon Sergeants to discuss the upcoming tasks for the week, ensuring everyone was aligned and prepared.

Later in the morning, I briefed my Command Sergeant Major on the upcoming field exercise. We discussed logistics, training objectives, and timelines to ensure smooth execution. Around lunchtime, I had a brown bag lunch with my junior Soldiers (E1-E4) at the local dining facility. It was a good opportunity to connect with them casually and check on morale.

In the afternoon, I led our Company Training meeting. We reviewed our current statistics, discussed the physical fitness improvement plan, and walked through upcoming training events. I then spent time handling administrative tasks like reviewing school enrollments, NCOER evaluations, and pending awards.

After that, I had a scheduled briefing with my Company Commander to go over the next two weeks of tasking for our troops. After work, I ran 3 miles to unwind and stay fit.  At home, I cooked dinner for my son and me. We enjoyed a simple but healthy meal and spent some time together before I settled down to begin my homework for class.

Tech Topic Connection: Why Network Architecture and Management Are the Real MVPs of IT

  When you think about technology, you probably picture powerful computers, sleek smartphones, or maybe even artificial intelligence. But here’s the thing: none of that works without networks . Behind every TikTok video you stream, every email you send, and every Zoom class you attend, there’s a carefully designed network architecture and a whole lot of network management going on in the background. These two concepts may not always steal the spotlight, but they’re absolutely the backbone of modern IT. How It All Connects to IT Fundamentals At its core, information technology is about moving, storing, and using data. Network architecture is the blueprint —it’s how we decide whether data flows through a client-server model, a peer-to-peer connection, or a massive cloud system. Then there’s network management, which is like the coach keeping everything running smoothly: monitoring traffic, troubleshooting, and making sure things don’t fall apart when everyone logs on at once.

Exploring Programming Through Scratch

  Exploring Programming Through Scratch   Building a program using Scratch was a fun and insightful experience. Using Scratch’s visual drag-and-drop interface, I created a project called Dancing Cat Adventure. The program features the Scratch Cat moving across the screen, changing colors, dancing with costume changes, and playing music. The user can interact with the cat using keyboard inputs like the spacebar and arrow keys. I included over 30 blocks, covering motion, looks, sound, control, and event handling. One key insight I gained was how foundational programming concepts like loops, sequencing, and conditionals can be understood through visual programming. Scratch made it easy to experiment with code without worrying about syntax errors. I quickly saw how small changes in block order could affect the program’s behavior, which is a fundamental aspect of computational thinking. When I compared this experience with the textbook’s Section 10.1 activities on compiled,...
