Thank you Adam! This is very true and I appreciate your words.
My first disagreement with this NCO turned into me approaching the CSM and requesting to move the NCO; his response, very professional and made me think twice, “ma’am, understand my fox hole first, how would it look on me if I give up on this NCO right away?”.
I was quite annoyed at first but took the time to really understand what he mean. On the other hand, as a Junior officer, this was a challenge for me too and took his words into prospective…how would it look from my fox whole if I did not mentor this NCO and gave them a chance?
