I am leaving for advanced camp in a couple weeks and to be prepared, this is one of my weaker areas I would like to develop. My reserved quiet nature works against me. However, I believe I can still work to my strengths by using the principle of "be brief, be bold, be brilliant, and be gone" in my interactions. I want to become an inspirational leader, but I don't want to come across fake by trying to be someone I am not. That being said, I am willing to change.

Be a team player 1st! Be yourself. Listen to your peer critique & ROTC cadre reviews. Good luck & God speed. MAJ.

My advice... go to a VA hospital and talk to the Vets...look at them and listen...then walk a VA National Cemetery , bigger the better...pay close attention to the war dead....each tombstone tells a story.....in the end we get a little flag....on memorial day....A sunny day of training in a split second can turn into fire and death....you have to live leadership...you cannot learn it....slogans mean nothing...when...your holding body pieces..and your friends are the ones gone....reflect why you want to be a leader....it comes from within.....I had it ....but lost it.....inspiration...forget it....everyone's alive... that's talking....
