157th IMA Detachment, a Joint (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines) unit on Capitol Hill that meets Wednesday nights and provides a means for Congressional officials, their staff, and others in DC to earn their reserve duty points while holding civilian positions not conducive to the traditional Reserve schedule. Some notable past members have included Senator Lindsay Graham, Governor Ron DeSantis and Representative Tulsi Gabbard. Recent guest speakers were Congressman Michael Waltz and the Mike Madsen from the Defense Innovation Unit. If you are in the reserve component, are in the MDW and would like to participate in the unit, please DM me.
