Have you ever been embarrassed or shamed by someone else's professionalism?

When I was a 2Lt, entering the BX one day, I noticed, but stepped over, some trash on the floor between the outer and inner doors. As I passed though the inner doors, I sensed someone behind me, so I looked back. It was a major general, picking up the trash I had just stepped over. He saw me and said nothing. It was the most embarrassing event ever, and one I took a great lesson from.

Thanks much, SFC Mark Merino ! I will cherish it always, but never pin it on my uniform (in a stolen valor way).

Quite a few incidents come to mind, and alcohol was involved in nearly all of them. The "creature" can really take us down a notch. I make horrible decisions when I drink and finally decided to return my Olympic Silver Medal for partying. I still make bad decisions, but I remember them without a headache....lol.
