The 1-108th had the privilege of recognizing the retirement of a truly one-of-a-kind Soldier and Aviator on 2 April 2023. This past weekend CW4 Doug Hoover wrapped up a career in the KSARNG that began in 1981. CW4 Hoover initially retired after 20 years of service in June 2001, but after 9/11 he chose to answer the call to serve once again. CW4 Hoover will officially retire on 30 April 2023 after completing 40+ years of service to the 1-108th and the KSARNG. Congratulations Mr. Hoover and enjoy your retirement. It is well deserved.

Resilience Skill of the month:
We sometimes get stuck in the aftermath of a significant event.
I encourage you to look to the skills trained by our Master Resilience Trainers.
There are several skills when strung together can help shake us out of a spiral.
It is good to take a step back, look at the facts, pull the emotion out of the situation, and reevaluate how we got into that spiral.
Hunt the good stuff, put it in perspective and use some of your real time resilience!!
