What was the most valuable skill you learned during your time in service?

I believe the best skill I learned was how to teach. As an NCO it was part of my job to teach the skills necessary to my soldiers. I was also blessed to do a short rotation at the NTC as a guest observer controller trainer, which was an incredible experience. I am hoping to become a high school teacher after completing school and I am sure that the skills I obtained training my men will translate greatly as I become a teacher of young minds.

The ability to work as part of a team, supervise others, confidence and also my Military job I also followed into the civilian world from Law Enforcement in the Military to a civilian Police job. Everything I learned Made My Civilian career such an easy transition esp with the Police Dept being a semi-military type operation and 95% of the Police Officers including the Chief of Police were Armed Forces veterans. Even attending the Brookline Police Academy, Brookline, MA was easier due to My military experience.
