THE ALX BULLETIN

You can now connect with ALx and join the leadership discussion on LinkedIn. We survey readers before expanding to the platform. Insightful reader responses indicated that Linked In is a great way to reach an audience interested in personal growth and professional development AND a great way for those transitioning out of the Army to establish connections.

Are you a junior officer ready to #DriveChange in the Army?  Take the Army Junior Officer Counsel (AJOC) Army Experience (anonymous) survey here.  AJOC, a pilot program, will use this feedback to execute approved change initiatives while also engaging senior leaders who can seek counsel (hence the spelling) on issues affecting the quality of life and service from JO’s. The goal is to improve retention of our talented junior officers and drive change that matters. You can find AJOC on Instagram @army_jocounsel on LinkedIn at Army Junior Officer Counsel or by email usarmy.pentagon.hqda-dcs-g-1.mbx.ajoc@army.mil.
