Drawdown…. What changes have your made to continue in this profession?

I attend every school I can, and refuse to not be in the top 10% of every one. I have one college degree and am working toward another.  I'm instructor certified, Training Developer certified (with SQI's) and hold quite a few other certs. Always shoot expert, and am Small Arms Instructor certified. I volunteer for pretty much everything, do everything as well as I can, and I make sure that when I give classes or training, you walk away going "holy crap that guy knows his stuff". I perform tons of community service, help out the FRG as much as possible, and participate/help often in base wide events. Basically, I do my best to be as close to the ideal NCO as possible...
