Welcome all!
I second NDDs sentiments. This is not directed at just one but anyone whom feels that sitting back and getting by works.
NEVER just get by. It will show in the rest of your endeavors. Stick your neck out and try. Errors will occur as you are human and humans err when stretching and reaching. Never erring means you never streched and reached. It is the very nature of reaching and extending yourself that makes good SF officers. They learn from their errors and drive on better able to make tough decisions later when it really counts.
This applies equally to all, whether officer or NCO.
That was part of the speech I give my newly assigned students at SOTIC.
