Be the best \< insert whatever rank you are \> and don't worry about the next rank and you will be surprised how fast it will come.

Pointing out a problem without offering a solution is just bitching. Nobody likes a bitch(er).

A conversation between me and a SFC when I was a PFC.

Me: I want to know if I should take some advice and go to USMAPS
SFC: Do you want to be in the mud or in the back giving orders?
Me: I want to be in the mud giving the orders.
SFC: That's the definition of an NCO.

Don't ask questions you don't want the answer too. The more questions about a task or assignment you ask the less control you have over the process and outcome. Exercise some initiative and don't be afraid to make mistakes.

Forgiveness releases us from anger. Hatred coarses through our body like acid and destroys us from within. Until you learn to forgive, you can never move on and healing can never take place.

You have 2 ears and 1 mouth. Listen twice as much as you speak.
