This week, Paratroopers from throughout the 82nd Airborne Division have been competing against one another to claim the title of Jumpmaster of the Year. Thank you to all the jumpmasters that participated in this tough competition! #AATW

Very proud of our Paratroopers from 1st Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division representing us in the Man of Steel Shooting Competition in Belgium. This competition is a two-gun shooting competition with five events. #AATW #Paratoopers

Last week, I had the honor of presenting the parachutist badge to our newest Paratroopers! This Airborne class was quite unique because it consisted of all 82nd Airborne Division and XVIII Airborne Corps and Fort Bragg Soldiers. #AATW

A huge thanks to the @82ndABNDiv B.O.S.S. team and the @Strike_Hold Dining Facility for hosting a special Valentine’s Day dinner for our #Paratroopers. Our All Americans enjoyed an appetizer, chicken, steak, lobster, rice, veggies and a chocolate lava cake for dessert!

Amazing to see more than 100 of our #AllAmericans re-affirm their commitment to our Nation by re-enlisting before last night’s @hornets game! Proud of each of these #Paratroopers for continuing to serve in the @USArmy! #LivingtheLegacy

Congratulations to Sgt. Breanna Jessop on winning @the_USO Soldier of the Year! Sgt. Jessop’s commitment to helping her fellow #Paratroopers and Service Members makes her a valuable member of our #UnbeatableLGOP and @CDonahue1792 and I are so proud to serve alongside her!

The @82ndABNDiv was proud to host SFC (R) Harvey Cogburn today! He toured the US recruiting for the 82nd and led to the Division having the highest retention numbers in the U.S. Army! Thank you SFC Cogburn for your service to our Division and for continuing to #LiveTheLegacy.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Proud to serve our @82ndABNDiv #Paratroopers alongside @CDonahue1792 today! I hope our All Americans past and present have a wonderful #Thanksgiving!

Join me in congratulating this year's #AllAmerican Stress Shoot winner, Sgt. Charles Bower of 2-325, @2BCT_FALCONS! His commitment to lethality showed as he took on our gauntlet of physical fitness and marksmanship. To learn more about what made him successful, watch the video!

“Plant seeds to trees you will never sit under.” If your lucky enough to be planted by these guys, you are truly blessed. #Mentorship #LivingTheLegacy

It’s an honor to serve alongside great @82ndABNDiv #Paratroopers like SGT Jessop! I am proud of her for all she did for the Division while deployed to Afghanistan and what she continues to do for our All Americans each and every day. taskandpurpose.com/news/army-orph…

The @82ndairbornediv hosted its first All American Stress last month, establishing a new tradition for future All American Weeks focusing on our #Paratroopers physical and mental resilience while testing their marksmanship. Tune back in next week when we announce the winner!

The @82ndABNDiv had another great #UnbeatableLGOP Range last Friday! The ability to shoot, move and communicate is key to our lethality and our #Paratroopers get a chance to train all of those skills here. If you want to join us next time, let your chain of command know!

#ICYMI: Our @82ndABNDiv #Paratroopers spent yesterday competing in our first ever All American Stress Shoot! They were pushed mentally and physically throughout the competition. I look forward to announcing the winner during our All American Awards Ceremony on November 19!

#HappeningNow! Your @82ndABNDiv #Paratroopers are competing in the All American Stress Shoot, a physically and mentally challenging marksmanship event designed to push these competitors to the limit! For more images and when we announce the winner November 19!

.@82ndABNDiv CSMs have been #LivingTheLegacy for generations. Take a look at this video highlighting CSMs Steven Slocum, Steven England and Charlie Thorpe who led the All Americans from 1993 to 2003, caring for our most valuable asset: #Paratroopers. youtu.be/TMVqJzWYRs0

During today’s Under Canopy we sat down with #Paratroopers across the @82ndABNDiv to talk about something that is affecting our All Americans at every rank, suicide. If you see someone struggling, help them. If you need more resources click here: armyresilience.army.mil/suicide-preven…

What started with the 20-Minute Firefight Stress Shoot has become a training cycle designed to make our #Paratroopers more resilient and enhance lethality. Watch the video to learn how this six-week training cycle uses multiple organizations to make our All Americans better!
