No Sleep till Brooklyn, New PFT, Awards, and Insignias
Ever finish a patrol alert but later realize you don’t remember half of it? That’s not just exhaustion; it’s fatigue silently sabotaging your performance. In this episode, we dive into the neuroscience of fatigue with Dr. Allison Brager, U.S. Army officer and sleep expert, who breaks down how chronic sleep disruption rewires our brains, especially in high-stakes roles like SAR. We tackle sleep fragmentation, SAR tones, and whether “banking” sleep actually works. From brain fog to biometrics, we explore what it means to be “mission-ready” when your mind’s still on the pillow. Plus, LT Chris Fuentes joins us with updates on new PFT standards, recognition programs, and what’s next from the 1-side (CG-7311).
