I've lurked on the board for a long time, heeding my grandfather's advice when I went to cadet basic (he was discharged as an infantry E-6 in 1947 after enlisting in 1942): "Keep your eyes and ears open and your mouth shut. Watch your NCO's and do what they tell ya full speed. When you get a platoon keep it up, learn to lead from the guys who earned that spot and eventually your PSG will decide when you're ready to lead his men." I apply that advice to working closely with my judges and to reading here. Nobody does what they do better than you guys.
Sorry for the length, but lastly and most importantly I want to express my appreciation and admiration for what you guys do and have done. Without you and your brothers giving up your liberty, and all too often lives, I would not be able to enjoy the freedoms I have. A heartfelt thank you to you all.
