I have some minor experiences leading a squad as an ASL, I have already gotten in touch with my new PSG and I expressed my desires to move up in rank. I asking NCOs how I can make a good impression as a leader not only to my Leadership but also to my Soldiers. I still have some of my gruff FA roots, but I am beginning to understand ADA style leadership. I been to WLC and as an ASL I try to follow the NCO creed along with teaching from my Knowledge and MOS Proficiency. I leave in JAN so I have some time but my question is <br /><br />How can I make a good impression while not turning into a yes man (Im not good at politics)?<br /><br />And how did you run your first squad? Any tips or Advice?
