How many have looked up former leaders and thanked them for assisting you on attainingthe rank you have today?

My old 1SG, now retired is still my mentor, we try to have lunch once a month when possible, but talk on a regular bases. I know I can call or e-mail text whenever and he is there to listen. When i took responsibilty of my first Battery he was there and I thinked him for everything he has done for me, during my speech.

I know I sure have. I have had some awesome leaders through the years.

I actually saw my former leader while I was at SLC, his wife was in my class. We caught up on old times and how he was a big impact on my career. He helped me to be the NCO I am today, and I thanked him for it.
