I like this scenario A LOT! #TooReal
Boom! there you go. A universe of emotions run through your head in a split second. The strongest emotions are anger and defensiveness. They swirl like a powerful black hole in this universe, pulling you toward that voice in the back of your head telling you to pipe up with, “I’m sorry. Say that again, from…[Read more]

Aloha everyone…
#WWAJOD? – What would a Junior officer do if this was their HHD 1SG?
Scenario:
Staff duty roster has come out and you need to make a change; you know that the approval authority is the BDE XO.
You come to the 1SG to:
1. Let the 1SG know there is a discrepancy on the Duty Roster.
2. Ask for some guidance on duty c…[Read more]

fmoseley great information!
I am an AG Officer too #AGATW. Although I am not close to CCC I am interested to know about the DL. How soon did you start? Is this option for all COMPOs?
Thank you

@jrrooker – You bring up great points about discipline and how hard it is to enforce it. To me discipline is a lot of factors that come down doing the small things right. Discipline involves standards, values, and norms. Here are some questions that I come up when I think about discipline:
1. Does a unit conduct effective counseling? Coun…[Read more]

This post/thread is fire!
Knowing what you do now as a post-CCC Captain, what preparation would you have done differently before and during the CCC to get what you wanted out of it?
As an MI officer who remained at Benning for the MCCC, I would highlight some of the same points already mentioned:
- Have a deliberate plan for the family and…

Adam – for those not familiar with that process for the Table of Contents you reference, could you go through the step by step process?

Why Productivity and Time Management are important as a Commander pt2.
This week, I’ll expand on my first point “1. First things first.” In a perfect commander day, (no UCMJ or emergency Soldier issues that requires immediate attention) I first devoted time to my commander’s priorities. I asked my 1SG and myself, are we prepared for the next…[Read more]

Chad – YES! I also create my Continuity Book during my LS/RS of a new job. I’m learning how to do the new job, so I might as well turn my notes into a How-To for someone else. A monthly Calendar reminder is a great idea! I should add that into my battle rhythm. My additions tend to be conditions (not time based) (basically, when I have time to…[Read more]

It’s May now and the sun is rising earlier in the day, kids are almost done with school for the year, and the days are getting hotter. That means one thing in the military … PCS Season is upon us.
With PCSing comes significant transition, for any unit or team. Â While there are many methods to smoothing over these transitional times, one is the…[Read more]

Many things to do and not enough time. There comes a moment as a commander when you realize you can stay at work for long hours and your to-do list or task list may not be close to being finished. If there is one (of many things) I would have told myself in the first 90 days of command, it would have been to prioritize tasks and organize…[Read more]
