How is everyone enjoying Annual Tour this month?
Camp Greyling’s Joint Maneuver Training Center is bustling with all the Broncos and other military service members! Here is a glimpse into AT ‘26
A look at some candid moments from around cantonment last week as Annual Training gets into full swing. These shots capture the real everyday grind of our Michigan National Guard soldiers pushing through long days, maintaining equipment, and keeping focus sharp. Here is to one more week of putting in the work.
A massive thank you to our incredible surrounding communities for your unwavering support, patience, and hospitality while we train. We couldn’t do what we do without you. Let’s finish strong!

💙🩵June is National PTSD Awareness Month.
Trauma isn’t always obvious, and college can be an intense environment where invisible battles are fought.

Did you know?
🩵PTSD affects millions of people, including college students and veterans. It’s an entirely valid response to trauma; not a sign of weakness.
💙Healing looks different for everyone, but recovery is absolutely possible. You don’t have to navigate it alone.

💛Check on your friends, take care of your own well-being, and remember that help is available on and off campus.

Need support or want to learn more?
Check out the ⁠VA PTSD Outreach Page or reach out to WMU’s student counseling center.

🌈 Happy Pride Month from OMVA! 🌈

This month, we celebrate the strength, courage, and contributions of LGBTQ+ individuals in our veteran, military-connected, and campus communities.

Pride Month is a time to honor the diverse stories, experiences, and identities that enrich our community. We remain committed to fostering an environment where every student, veteran, service member, and family member feels welcomed, respected, and supported.

Together, we recognize the importance of inclusion, dignity, and belonging not only this month, but every day. 🇺🇸🏳️‍🌈🤎💛
