The geographic separation of the key decision makers and the commander’s preoccupation with current operations in North Africa hampered planning for…
Robert: So, in your experience, four tenths below the Commanders average, how detrimental is that to someone’s career? Captain Rink: None whatsoever.

The army commander may tell them that they are doing right by going out and killing these people, and the kids will easily believe them. Such as when Ishmael Beah is being trained to be a child soldier. His commander told him, “‘Visualize the banana tree as the enemy, the rebels who killed your parents, your family, and those who are responsible for everything that has happened to you,’ the…

Their uniform nice and ironed with a bright green rope hanging from their shoulders to symbolize that they were commanders. All three of them had two bars sewed onto both sleeves to mark their rank. Both of these things giving them authority. Introduced themselves but told us that we were to never call…

My freshman year in high school I gained a valuable experience. I was appointed deputy drill commander of Dixie AFJROTC Unarmed Team, promoted ahead of, and out-performing upper-class men, creating a degree of resentment. Eventually I was able to overcome resistance to my command by demonstrating competence in both my ability to lead and respect my team members.
