Regardless of your rank, you learned about leadership skills and traits. You may have had the privilege of using those skills in a leadership position in the military, or you used them indirectly to have a positive effect on your peers. After you left the military, did you find a way to use those same leadership skills for the betterment of your company, your team, or perhaps someone you wished to aid to success. Please share with us such a situation and how you were able to make a difference in a positive way because of your leadership.

SFC Thomas Nichols great share, I used the 7 core Army Values and I picked up the word Dignity/Respect while I was in. It sure has done me some good in the Civilian World.

Leadership is leadership, and I am grateful for what I learned and gained during my time in the military. Towards my superiors I strive to be a subordinate I would want under me, and with my own subordinates I apply the skills I learned - tactical/technical proficiency; professionalism in general; looking out for their welfare, etc.

My military career helped me in many ways. I gained confidence in leading others, as well as keeping a level head in stressful situations. The confidence I gained helped show my ability to lead my peers in the civilian side. The Army also taught me how to work and equipped me with the ability solve problems without having to reach for a helping hand.
