I had a thread deleted, because what I wrote was wrong
And right here, before anything else at all:
I apologise for the bad language in it. It was wrong, and I should be better than that.
I worry about this chapter - a lot of me went into it, maybe too much.
There is a book out there called "Flight of the Buffalo" that deals with leadership and management. Among other things in it, there is a point made that you never ever get the very best from your people until you trust them completely. Enough so that you can set up a meeting, and walk right out of the room until it is over...
The book got it's name because it was so controversial in it's approach that at least one manager type made the comment: "Yeah, right! WHEN BUFFALOES FLY!"
I seriously believe that this is precisely what I have to do. But I worry still...
That right there tells me I need to let go and see what happens, even if it is the hardest thing I may ever do.

There are no rookies in my view - lose that. They are real people going somewhere they have never been before.
Just like WE did...
I stood in front of a door
It had a major change in my life on the other side
I was not happy where I was
I wasn't sure if I could do what I had to on the other side of it...
I kicked my own backside through that thing!
Because I knew that the time had come
And if I didn't do that right now -
I never could again
That was how I joined the NAVY
