@george.l.gurrola – you’re so, so right about not only delivering “bad news” (whether it be training, taskings, or otherwise). Â I had a HQ CC who did that, just always delivering the news of something that was late or hot, basically that I’d have to 180 at least a handful of folks. Â It became a conditioned response after awhile. Anyway, after h…[Read more]

George – mhmhmm, Books!, yummy! 🙂 Great post!
I’ve read “Leaders Eat Last” and it was good! I was able to read it very quickly because I found alot of parallels with military training. But I enjoyed how simply and straightforward Sinek explained things without being (let’s face it) overly hooah like ADP & ADRPs can be. I found it helpful and…[Read more]

Hey, Jeff! Totally agree about the business cards! I started doing that at my last job and present job. Not only is it helpful for the current duties as I execute them, but (I hope) it’s helpful to the person to take the seat after me.
Great point!!

In this Content post, I talk about changing your last name due to marriage, specifically as a dual-military couple.
What do I think I missed or got wrong? How does this change for other circumstances, such as divorce? What’s your experience – good, bad, or ugly?
