being on time if not abit early for something.

To own what you do and to own-up when questioned about your actions.
Take care of people is also a big one in my book. There is always someone who needs looking after, taking care of either being taught something, guided, or advised. Being taught how to think things through.

What have you done for God and Country today is a question i have ask members of family for years. I think it speaks for its self.
Do it if you don't it won't get done.

The value of teamwork and learning to share the load has been invaluable to me as I worked as a civilian. Feeling the loyalty and dedication to the mission, to one another, knowing everyone on my team would hold the line for me, just as I would for them, gave me confidence far above anything I could achieve alone. If my children could learn and utilize that principle of dedication in meaningful service, I would be a complimented mother. Donna Palmer Capt. USAFR (retired)

The biggest thing I have taught my kids that I learned was that above all honor is the one thing if you lose it you won’t get it back easily. Trust goes with honor so keep these two at the top of your life and it will be better for you.
Thanks to all of you for your time and kind words.

Respect your elders, and your never to old to learn something new! Don't think that you know everything cause there's so much to learn!

I learned to keep my big mouth shut. The boss is always right even when they are wrong. If you have a good idea make sure that your superiors can take all the credit, it will get done faster. Know that on occasions it is smart to volunteer. If given a request always attempt to exceed expectations. If you are in line to get a promotion and don't get, remember it is not your fault - it is the system.

Respect of others self respect, timeliness, love of country.
Slow down when you eat.

Well the Military clock, and getting up early.

Work ethic

Besides through my own upbringing, the service reinforced the learning of self respect, respect for others, manners, common sense, discipline, hygiene and the desire to continue personal growth and intellectual development. Thanks to all of the support I received from my leadership during military service I was able to eventually acquire an bachelor's degree, do post-graduate work, speak various languages fluently and advance into upper management positions!!!

Hard work pays off!
