What's One Thing That Makes or Breaks a Military Career? Share and Be Entered to Win!

Integrity

The level of corruption within leadership… Have leaders with no moral compass when you’re reporting sexual assault? Your career and everything you’ve worked for - not to mention your mental health, future career options, and hope for any justice - is toast.

Patience...LOTS of patience.........

A competent and supportive chain of command 100%.

Unethical behavior.

So I am not affiliated with the military, however I would like to thank all that are serving and have served! My grandfather (who's now past on) was a WWII vet and I never learned until more recently, just the amount of selfishness within the military. Unfortunately, I'm starting to see a lack in leadership, and the many mandatory requirements. I know first hand that my husband was not accepted by many areas he applied in. But only because of background questions from when he was in his early youth, but as well as him having to many visible tattoos, to his mental history background also. I feel like had they really taken the time with his application, he too would be serving our country as he had hoped.
I know there's so much misinformation with so much going on in our country, but until my last breath I would support our military to the fullest, regardless of their lack of leadership as each one of these men and women in service are human beings, just like us, and I can't bare hearing the life long traumas they ultimately end up suffering, as well as many other negative impacts being in the military could do to a person. We need to be grateful, even if they are advised on doing something, doesn't mean they agree, it's just them trying to provide for their family as well!

Egos... Keep that stuff in check if you don't people will die or get hurt, and there's always a respectful way to be heard and if it's good top brass or top stripes will listen.

I think the one thing that will break a military career is one is not very determined. You cannot join the military just on a whim you have to know your why, stay on course with your why, be determined in your why and give it all you have for your why!! Determination is key. Your why will make you humble yourself, your why will show you how brave you can be, your why will teach you discipline, your why will make you strong in areas you were weak in and your why will grow you up.

Indiscretion.
