THE Expected Experience

Creating a Culture of Deliberate Communication

Whatever position or branch you are in, find the toughest, most dangerous job in your unit and go do it. I learned that you won’t get a lot of thanks in return. I learned that you shouldn’t expect it. Your soldiers are doing the tough job every day. I guarantee you, you will learn a lot about your troops and they will learn a lot about you.
