I love to run, bike, motorcycle and just keep active. Anything to push my limits. CWO (ret’d) and veteran of the CAF.

I recently volunteered to clean the local cenotaph and surrounding area, the results are amazing. #LestWeForget #RemembranceDay

This book was a refreshing read, and should be read by everyone in North America. It may help people better understand some of the issues faced by people from First Nations. #FirstNations

Professional military reading is the best form of PD. It encourages a wide range of diversity in intellectual development. If you haven’t started, now is the time, you will be a better officer/NCM for it.

@Todstrick Nice, I miss that view!

[Stephen McNabb @sgmcnabb]

And here's the truth. The media wants us to #distrust. Distrust compels us to listen. The problem is that training us to distrust leads us to question the truth, which leads us to question the ppl compelling us to distrust. 3/3

[Stephen McNabb @sgmcnabb]

The last few years have significantly changed how we #trust ppl. Ppl we used to trust, we no longer trust. For example, to a greater degree, we used to trust ppl working in the fields of journalism, health care, and education. We extended them trust mostly because we had. 1/?

[Stephen McNabb @sgmcnabb]

They were ppl we considered experts in areas we were not. But recent occurrences, sparked primarily by media and political leaders, have highlighted vast disagreements from ppl in these fields which have caused us to rethink how we trust and who we trust. 2/3

[Stephen McNabb @sgmcnabb]

@UncleRickee Yes it is, and I will add the “guy” caught back up too. ;)

[Stephen McNabb @sgmcnabb]

@UncleRickee Is that the same as going for a run and returning home with one less sock? I was running with a guy once who did this, right Rick.

[Stephen McNabb @sgmcnabb]

Damn…Apple succeeded.

I can’t get the tune “I look real good today” out of my head. 🎶

@army_SM_armee Awesome @kevinmathers1, this serves as an important symbol for the CAF and CA as you represent the NCMs/NCOs across all NATO forces. Well deserved and congratulations on your upcoming appointment! #worthy

[Stephen McNabb @sgmcnabb]

Excited to see this fantastic resource get launched today by the Canadian Army. #lineofsight @mil_LEADER @GroundCuriosity @covetweet @CdnArmyToday @thearmyleader @WarOnTheRocks @NCOJournal @CWOOssideInst @army_SM_armee

[Stephen McNabb @sgmcnabb]

@RobRunge1 Absolutely correct, and at a time when a force contends with some uncertainty in the domain of education, when it’s never been more important for a military as it is today. Recognize what is needed, deliver it, and continue to invest in a corps of fwd thinking NCMs. #PME

[Stephen McNabb @sgmcnabb]

So much more than the 3Ds. RSMs have been entrusted with a great responsibility, and embracing these values and skills will enable you to meet the challenge. https://t.co/Vi1bzaaA2S

[Stephen McNabb @sgmcnabb]

Great counsel and advise!

[Stephen McNabb @sgmcnabb]

@Todstrick Great read that provides a beacon to refocus leadership efforts, and good to see emphasis on these points. They will become part of how leaders set their initial foundation in the (their) unit, how they will be remembered and what their legacy will be. @Army_Comd_Armee

Silence and isolation are natural choices but they pull us deeper and deeper, until we feel like we can’t ever be pulled out. Let's talk. Let's listen. Most importantly, let's connect. #BellLetsTalk

[Stephen McNabb @sgmcnabb]

@Todstrick This could be uncomfortable, but we have to be humble and esteem others better than ourselves before we are able to learn from mistakes. It’s a matter of being teachable. Yes, reflection can be productive! Learn from them, own them and fix’em.

[Stephen McNabb @sgmcnabb]

@UncleRickee Rick, you couldn’t be more correct, and hope you have the opportunity to visit your mother very soon.

[Stephen McNabb @sgmcnabb]

@UncleRickee Absolutely, I guess they think it’s easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission. This is someone who co-signed a document barring international travel. https://t.co/gHAB45XiRj
