Intro
Sir,
My intent is to approach ODA Command (inshallah) in a similar manner as I approached platoon leadership. That is to say, sit back and learn from the NCO's, offer input as necessary and filter all the crap that comes from higher so the Team can perform. I'll also study the group dynamic to see who the formal and informal leaders are and how they inneract. I believe God gave me two ears and one mouth for a reason. Yeah all the book stuff is good to know, yeah I'm a CPT and ranking soldier, yeah the Team SGT is my subordinate. I buy in on the Q being just a portal to futher enlightenment and that my education will never cease and true SF competence will come slowly. My initial main effort is look, listen and learn and provide the Team with all possible resources to get the job done and RTB. I know that in reality respect is earned not given. I feel for you NCO's who have had officers come in like they wanted to prove something and make a big change or shake up in an organization already functioning well. That ain't me gentlemen. Anyone who has worked with me knows I am a soldier first and officer second. My reference to leading the ODA is almost in a generic sense in that officers are made to lead.
Thanks.
