It's something that I've been thinking about and have my own idea about, but just to see it from different, more experienced eyes, what is your take on it?

The perfect Soldier: impossible. You don't know what you don't know. However, you can distinguish yourself from your peers in certain areas at the level that you're at. Junior Enlisted SM's have a few very common ways of doing this. 1. PT- get a 270 or above consistently. 2. Weapons qualification- shoot expert. 3. Show up at the right place, at the right time, in the right uniform. 4. Influence those who are in your sphere of influence to do those same things mentioned above. 5. Of course always model the Army Values.
6. Speak out (respectfully) against things that go against the Army Values. 7. Take your job, however miniscule the task may be and become an expert at it. 8. Don't get wrapped around the axle about how to do something, but don't do any task without proper planning. 9. For your skill level, find your team leader and start picking his/her brain about what BLC is and what skills you need to obtain in order to lead Soldiers. 10. Have some common sense. If there is a voice inside telling you to be cautious or not risk something, listen to it and get more information on the subject.

There is no such thing as a perfect soldier; no matter the rank. Always strive to learn because no one truly knows everything. Work hard and when you become a leader, lead from the front, treat your soldiers with respect, never ask them to do anything you wouldn't do and remember time honor traditions that make the military what it is.

There can be no perfect soldier, because soldiering is inherently a morally conflicted career.
