TONIGHT's Topic: "Be an Unseen Force of Power"
An English Proverb states that "It's not the towering sails but the unseen wind that moves a ship". Often the greatest forces of power are those that are unseen. Wind, radiation, sound waves, all have effects that can be seen but the actual force itself is normally never visible. I propose that we all be unseen forces of power, great in nature but not seeking status and self-glory. Recognition will come in time, as will the effects of our unseen power. There is no need to grandstand the powers and wonders that you possess, their effects will be seen and felt by all you encounter!

COL Mikel J. Burroughs one should work for something because it's the right thing to do... not for the recognition.

SGT Charlie Lee I agree with your statement. I have been a Security Supervisor with a Manager I don't always agree with but as his subordinate I support his decisions and do my utmost for the team because it is the right thing to do. He recently put in his resignation papers because he thought he had a better opportunity across the country. The Corporation offered me his position but when the deal fell through for him and he asked if he could keep his job I was asked if I were ok with that and I said yes because it was the right thing to do.

I agree, for many years I believed it didn't matter who got the credit. Eventually though it becomes a frustration to see others take credit for your initiative. I once gave my Undersheriff a sealed envelope with a idea to improve our intake and release operations. I then gave a copy of my idea to my immediate supervisor. After review he advised it was not feasible for a number of reasons. Two weeks later there was a new operations memo relating to intake and release. It was virtually identical to my suggestion. That day after my shift ended I took a copy of the memo to the Undersheriff. I asked him to review the memo against the contents of the sealed envelope. He read the documents and a furrow came over his face. He asked how long this had been going on? He also asked if it was the reason I was resigning, also. He apologized and offered to make things right. I was intent though on leaving, I had played by the rules so I thanked him for the educational experience I gained. I then turned in my equipment, went back to school, became a certified officer for another agency.

SGT John Graham - I applaud you for the way you handled the situation... very professional & honorable. In the end you took something negative & turned it in to something positive. I congratulate you on becoming a certified officer as well as your new position with a new company.
