Naval Education and Training Command: Warrior Toughness

Every U.S. Navy Sailor, enlisted or officer, could face life-threatening situations from combat or casualty. Each and every one needs to have the ability to persevere and perform under both immediate danger and long-term stress, both on the job and at home.

Warrior Toughness (WT) is a holistic human performance skillset that enhances the toughness of our Sailors with a focus on the pursuit of peak performance. The system emphasizes coequal development of toughness in the mind, body, and soul. WT combines performance psychology skills with character development, and teaches the Warrior Mindset, whose concepts were initially developed by members of the Naval Special Warfare community.

Designed to increase the Navy’s warfighting capabilities, WT is an enabler of the Culture of Excellence as part of the first line of effort – Developing a Lethal Warfighting Force. In place at Recruit Training Command since October 2018, the curriculum is now incorporated across all Navy accessions at Officer Training Command Newport, the United States Naval Academy and the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps. WT will improve the performance of Sailors under stress and throughout their everyday lives, building lethal warfighters ready for the next mission.

Marine Minute: Money Talks

Defense Media Activity - Marines

I'm Corporal Nathan Hall with your Marine Minute.

The year 2020 is already bringing some changes to our gun club.

Effective immediately the Marine Corps has changed the way it releases
Payday payments, if you see a pending deposit labeled something similar to
"MCTF treasury 310 MCTF pay" you can rest assured
That this is for the 15 January regular payday.

Marine Corps military pay day payments will now be released from the U.S. Treasury instead of DFAS. The title may appear somewhat different in your
Bank account, but the amount is correct, and includes the additional raise
Of 3.1 percent authorized by congress. Important for you to know, the
Marine Corps will not solicit your bank account information from you, as it
Is already retained in a secure manner.

Also, be aware that the title for your direct deposit may
Change to something similar to "marine corps direct deposit" in the near
Future.

That's it for your Marine Minute, for more news around the Corps go to Marines.mil
