God bless you Sir. Were there but more like you it would be a better military.
My philosophy was told me by my first fire team leader. "You can take care of your career, and let your men take care of themselves, or you can take care of your men, and let your career take care of itself. More of a good quote, but I still try to live by it.

Great stuff!
Col - My philosophy on golf as taught to me by a very good sniper:
"Waste of a perfectly good KD range. Why, they even went to all the trouble of building us these little rests (Ts), marking off exact distances to the target stand holes and giving us those little red wind indicators. Now go get the guns out of the vehicle and load up."
LOL

God, Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
What goes around comes around.....(although I like the 2nd part that the Team Sergeant had alot).
Better to beg forgiveness than ask permission.

Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance.
Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.
No plan survives the first contact intact.
In the absence of orders, attack.
They are all cheesy and old but they work.

Sorry, you only got the water pistol version of the God Gun, with training wheels.
