I've only been in for a few years and one thing I was told was the term Be, Know, Do.
Be a leader. Know what your doing. Do it with your soldiers.
What happened to it and why isn't it used anymore? I see it as a great stepping stone into the Corp. Am I wrong?

SFC Davis, you keep mentioning Old School stuff in this new Army, and you will find yourself in trouble.

Is it not part of the BLC (PLDC, WLC) curriculum any longer? Is it still part of 6-22?

I do remember. NCOs are supposed to be the subject matter experts. Most are being promoted on p.t. alone and not on their technical/tactical skills. That is where their leadership has failed them. By always giving out positive counseling and no true guidance on how to lead, only sets them up for failure.

As a Senior NCO (SFC) Retired, I have lived that principle! I strived to set the example for my Junior Enlisted (Be), I have trained my Junior Enlisted on how to perform their duties in an exemplary manner (Know) and I have set the example by doing what it meant to be proud of wearing the rank of SFC (Do). If these principles ever were removed from our Creed, that of a Non Commissioned Officer, than 20 years of blood, sweat and heartaches just got flushed down the toilet!!
If you have a problem with your first line supervisor (usually an E-5 SGT), request to speak with the Squad Leader, (SSG) simple as that!
Follow the Chain of Command to satisfy any issues and this goes for everyone whom is in the Military! You may not like it, but it is policy!!
We are a Team and we resolve problems, just do it in a Professional manner!!
