Arriving at your very first duty station of your military career is an incredible feeling. First, you have an amazing feeling of butterflies because you, finally, get to go on your first deployment, patrol at sea, and perform your military duties in an actual military unit. Your second feeling is, perhaps, a feeling of dread because of the pressure to live up and be the soldier, sailor, marine, or airmen that you want to be and want to become.

LTC Chad Storlie: I was very apprehensive when I first arrived at Permanent Party in Germany: to protect, defend and serve this great nation of ours.
When I became a Sports Director for Dependent Youths, though, I really began to enjoy my career.

Those lessons are very helpful. One may learn as they go, as I did, or take this good advice and run with it. Giving your newly learned knowledge and keeping a high ethical standard are the most helpful to integrating into a new unit. I would add that choosing soldiers with the same ethics to be your mentors and friends will help transition into that unit.
