Some of my favourite coins, from my office a couple of years ago. I should get a photo of my current collection.
Since military coins are being discussed, I figured why not show some interesting ones and spread positivity. These are a few of my favourites that I dug up from the basement, each one a memory I carry with me. Would love to see some others.

Went on an urban terrain walk with the staff at LCSC the other day. The program has clearly been shaped by @Stu_Lyle’s influence. Great to see his thinking driving how they approach urban ops. Photo is is is getting a view of Swindon from a dominating vantage point.

Got the chance to learn & play a couple turns of the @BritishArmy LCSC’s Divisional Commander wargame. Great system, puts real focus on the deep & rear fights. Looking forward to exploring it further back in Canada.

Awesome day at the British Army’s Land Command Staff College discussing PME. They’re doing some incredible work here, and I’m taking away a ton of insights to bring back with me.

Working on a project I’m passionate about reminded me of something: what feels urgent to me might just be another task on someone else’s plate. It’s a perspective worth keeping in mind when asking for help.

Caught an unexpected @CFSnowbirds performance over lunch today. 🇨🇦✈️ Always inspiring to watch our @RCAF_ARC partners showcase their precision and skill, nothing beats seeing that level of teamwork up close.

AOC students got to try out the Clash card game for the first time today, using it to explore battle group operations in a drone-heavy environment. It pushed them to think through the problem set and sparked some great discussion!

One of the best feelings is seeing the ideas we’ve been working through show up in the broader conversation. Came across a literature review on wargaming that cited my work alongside some incredible company.

Sharing this excellent revamp of Ernst Swinton’s ‘Defence of Duffer’s Drift’. These 4 linked dreams show the power of narrative storytelling telling. Wargaming does something similar except you craft and share the story as you go!

Let's talk #AI and #wargaming. There's a lot of hype around AI-enabled wargaming -- from adversary emulation to straight up designing games. I think there's a lot of value to be leveraged at a cost. But we need to be clear eyed in what AI is -- and what it can and cannot do. 🧵

We’ll put hours into training our bodies without hesitation… So why do we struggle to put even minutes into training our minds? PD is mental PT. #PDlikeyouPT
