Teamwork can get you through anything. As part of a team, regardless of the size (team, squad, platoon, etc), if you work together you can accomplish the goal, task, or objective. Each individual has their own task and/or skills, but together what seems impossible is achievable.

So True! No one is, or should be, alone. So many think they are, usually when they need support the most.

Plan ahead of time. If you need to do something or to go somewhere next week, Plan how you are going to do it today. Don't just expect that someone will come to your rescue on the day that you need something. If you hangout with losers you can expect to be a loser too. Buy the worst house in the best neighborhood you can, and not the other way around. Finally if you fail to plan then you plan to fail.

Love of God and country! Also a new respect for our flag. It’s sad to see how many disrespect our flag today. Too bad everyone doesn’t have to serve.

To be a leader, always respect yourself, and never worry what other people say or think, but always show respect for other people and their beliefs.

Accept responsibility for all that you do. Trust subordinates to do as you task them, when possible allow them to fail as a learning experience.

The importance of safety. We love to do projects, and even while doing chores, we pay attention to safety. We wear shoes when using the lawn mower. We wear safety goggles when sawing wood. We wear long pants when weed-whacking. Don't climb a ladder in shower shoes, and make sure you have a second person to hold the ladder. I could go on, but you get the idea. Before the Navy, I was careless. The Navy taught me that our lives depend on our attention to safety practices.

Getting out of my comfort zone and discovering that when I thought I could not do more I learned that I was able to do a great deal more, thanks to Ranger School and Airborne School.
