1. Being in the right place, at the right time, in the right uniform. Everything else will work itself out.
2. Walk fast where ever your going. It makes you look like your on a mission and no ask the guy who's on a mission to help out. They'll ask the Joe just standing around.
The second one is the truest thing. As long as I am walking fast, no one ever stops me.

The best advice I ever received was to "take a knee". I had just been through a divorce, was struggling through CGSC, couldn't get enough shared custody time with my kids, was overwhelmed at work and was trying to find time for my monthly drill (BA). The guy I worked for, a LTC at the time and I was a Major, suggested that I RST and work on my CGSC instead of attending drill for the next three months. I was blown away by his compassion and caring during a time when I was juggling way too many balls in the air. This breathing room, as a result of taking a knee, allowed me to complete CGSC, get my life back on track and demonstrate resilience through taking positive actions. I owe that LTC big time for some of the best advice I've ever received!
