Who is that one person that you encountered in your career that you wanted be like? Do you have just one or were there many? I know for me I have had some awesome leaders but one stands out in my mind always! He is the one I strive to be like. He was my 1SG when I was a young Soldier and he retired as the regimental CSM for 3rd ACR. William Burns...... That man was motivating, and knew his stuff. He was hard, but he was fair. One could learn from him and he would take care of business. He ran our troop with an Iron fist but it left a great impression on me, as well as many others.

So who was that leader for you?

A guy once said to me - "if you see someone doing what you want to do, do what they did". And that's what I've done. My greatest mentor however is my current boss/rater. I've never seen anyone so committed to the health/welfare of the warfighter as he is. It's inspirational. He starts with emails at 0400, and I'm happy to keep up.
