Thank you so much Brock! This is a real eye opener!
Being a leader is hard…I am learning that rather quickly and it is quite a challenge yet a challenge I plan on overcoming.

Your explanation on escalation of force makes complete sense…as a Junior Officer I am still learning on what the right thing to do is as far as mentoring others and providing guidance. I do not give up on people as others have not given up on me, I continue to be patient and mentor this NCO and currently work on providing continues verbal counseling’s (positive or negative) and monthly written counseling’s as a form of azimuth check on performance.

Once again, I agree that being a leader is hard, but if it wasn’t would it be equally fun?
