Ladies and gentlemen, it is time for your superior military leaders in action where noble duty day turns into a catastrophe, and you military members still must leave. I am Christian, the Hype Man Sledge, host of the Skiff International Podcast, and we are back on our Grizzy with the 2026 USO Service Members of the Year series. Today we are spotlighting Captain Emily Malcolm straight out of Fort Bliss, Texas. Shout out to Fort Bliss and Captain Malcolm's family. You have a daughter to be proud of. Stamps of approval certified, battle tested. USO Army Service Member of the Year 2026. The Army needs flood response search coordination and victim recovery simultaneously while off duty. No problem. Captain Malcolm calls that a Tuesday. So what makes that so special hype and what makes her different? Well, that's easy. Let me go ahead and hype that up for you. July 4th, 2025. All right. Independence day. Most of America's lighting up fireworks, posting cookout picks, living their best life. And then Kerrville, Texas, the Guadalupe River has other plans. Flash flooding, historic, catastrophic. And the final death count, 100 lives lost, you guys. One freaking hundred. Now check out this sidebar. Cap Malcolm is stationed at Fort Bliss at this time. She doesn't have to be there. No orders cut specifically for her. She is off duty. But leadership does not clock out. Doesn't care about your 4th of July plans either. She makes contact with local volunteer fire departments, thinks up, gears up, and moves out into those flood zones. No hesitation. You already know what I gotta say about it. Panic is easy, hesitation is fatal. Pure instinct mode is activated. 180 hours. That's seven and a half straight days, family, in hazardous terrain in flood water, assisting victim recovery, working alongside first responders, linking military capability with civilian emergency response in real time. Captain Malcolm looked at those waters and said, Nah, not today, Poseidon. And she stayed until the mission was D1 done. Ascending leadership moment, this was not required of her. This was not in her mission brief. This is her character. This is what the skiff calls leader by choice, not by rank, not by position, but who you are when nobody is watching and everything is falling apart. Superior leadership is not about fearlessness, it's about acting in despite of fear. USO 2026, Army Service Member of the Year, and every single bit of that title is earned. Captain Malcolm and all the service members out there, thank you guys for your service, especially during these trying times. But of course, everybody outside of that don't want to hear that. They just want to dance. And yo, NATO, put some beat on this video. And while you guys are dancing, subscribe here to the Skip International Podcast in the description below if you want to hear more about Superior Everyday Leaders in Action. All right. Hype signing off, and shout out to my man NATO.
