Thank you COL Moroney and Sleepyhead for the responses. Both of your posts really hold great advice. I especially like these pieces:
COL Moroney
“Often, success is a two edged sword. Those for whom the 18A served (the troops) and those under whom he served (the bosses) will each have a different perspective. While that is true for any unit, there is a third dimension and that has to do with the perceptions and realities of those outside of the unit that he may have been advising, training, leading from other countries or other agencies. There are different approaches and "rules" for each with a level of complexity that his way beyond the scope of this thread.”----This is just pure wisdom, and while the topic has somewhat crossed my mind before, I have to honestly say I never really thought to deep into it.
And Sleepyhead
“even going as far as writing down your reasons and motivations so that you can refer to it when Big Army kicks you in the nuts, and you feel like quitting.”----Excellent point because from prior experiences I can relate!
