Good morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs and I love this topic. Some of us who are in self isolation are fortunate to be with people who are "the right people" Those who inspire and love us and help us to be our best selves. Some unfortunately are not and it is times like these that bring out either the best or the worst in people. Try your hardest to be the "right person" for someone else and hopefully, they will return the favor for you. Stay in the positive space.

Lt Col Charlie Brown - Excellent quotes and MEME all around today Charlie. I can tell you that I'm definitely with th "Right People" and all through my military career I surrounded myself or aligned myself under the "Right People" and man can that make life and business so much easier in the long wrong. May the right people continue to be a part of your life, continue to stay resilient, and may you keep yourself and your family healthy Charlie!

Well said ma'am. A supporting staff of experts whether likeminded or 180 out will pay more dividends when they are respected and respect you in return for your listening to their concerns/guidance whether you take that advice and use it or take it for a balancing point.

I expect you are spiritually mature enough to recognize that the only absolutely right-person to be with is the Lord, God. We are each flawed, damaged, hopeful, biased, alternately pleasant to be with or a pain in the butt, and yet God loves us exactly as we are Charlie.
I pray that you and I treat each person we interact with or come across respectfully with honor and that we take to heart the act that God is in control and HE has placed us among the people we interact with, my sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown.
I pray that leaders of all sorts avoid surrounding themselves with yes people and people who generally agree with our own point of view. I pray that YOU use individuals to challenge our plans, assumptions, goals, and proposed methodologies as part of individual sanctification.
Thank YOU, Lord for all the and the bad we go through. YOU are in absolute control including the latest coronavirus that YOU have allowed to spread, infect and cause fear in many populations. The vast majority of people doubt YOU exist and laugh at the idea that sin can affect life [YOUR creation].
I pray that YOUR adopted children realize that the coronavirus is a merely a symptom of how sin affects every aspect of creation. I am thankful that YOU restrain the demonic intents to destroy YOUR body of Christ. YOU are the strongman, and nothing can impact us that is against YOUR specific will and plan for our lives and the lives of those we love.
I lift your adopted daughters and sons respectively looking for Mr. or Ms. right as well as those looking for a perfect opportunity to be opened before they act. I pray that these individuals recognize that YOUR love for each of them is boundless and YOU orchestrate our interactions, chance meetings and appointments and YOU work all to good for YOUR own.
I pray that YOU bless President Donald Trump, his wife Melania and his children, Vice President Mike Pence, his wife Karen and their children, their staffs and protective details with wisdom and favor and positive answers to their prayers for this nation.
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children and their loved ones sleep well Wednesday night.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

I can look back on my career and easily identify those points where I had a great team/good team or bad team by the results we were able to achieve. Very rarely are you able to assemble your own team in the Marine Corps it is usually appointed to you. I am assuming that is the case with all military except at the highest levels where I am aware certain Commanders actually went out and 'acquired their Senior staff. With that said it is always in the leaders perview to cull/groom and grow their staff into a team of professionals who will help them not hinder the Command and its members.
