Responsibility

Patriotism and love of country. The importance of following the news not the opinions of others, voting with full knowledge of the candidates. Keeping government honest and holding it responsible for it's failures. (Yeah I know how dishonest it is right now.)

My daughter is 33 and has learned these lessons well and continues to learn in todays environment. I believe responsible, well informed voting is the most important thing Americans should do. It is our most important right in this country and not only affects our world but the world our children and grandchildren inherit.

Situational awareness. Always look at your surroundings and the people and animals therein. You can protect yourself, your loved ones, and perhaps others. This is a major part of readiness, and a skill most folks don't have. Practice looking, noticing, and listening to the world around you...home this skill so you can act when a situation presents.

Take care of the little things first. Make the bed, fold and put away your clothes, keep everything clean.

The big things are easier to tackle when the little things are simply a habit.

Discipline and love for your country!!

Knowing how to put the needs of the group ahead of your own comfort. If everyone did that, we wouldn't need militaries.

How to responsibly and safely handle and use firearms.

We have a farm in an area with poisonous snakes, feral dogs, feral hogs, rabid animals, coyote, wolves and black bear, plus drug traffickers, human traffickers, idjits that think they can take what they want, anytime, a nation that is falling apart with people placing treats to come shoot and murder over mere political opinions,...

It's a sad sad place that the world has become.

Honor, Respect for your country/flag, Responsibility.

Duty. Honor, Country.

Responsibility and commitment to your team. Despite the Army’s old slogan, no one is an Army of One. And once they have kids, the kids are the center of the world. It’s no longer about what you want to do. It’s about doing for your kids.
