The first thing I learned as a 2 Lt. was to take responsibility for my actions and ultimately anyone assigned to me and learn to say, I take responsibility Sir, yes Sir, it was my fault, Sir, It won't happen again, Sir, and #### the hell up and never mention the issue again whether it was actually my fault or not.
It got you a hell of alot more respect than trying to explain actions, why's, who done it's etc.
First it showed you took responsibility for your actions and learned from your mistakes.
Secondly, it showed you took care of and covered for your men.
That's all that needed to be said to end this thread.
Whether or not your right or wrong, I would have said sorry I must have screwed that one up, I really farked up starting this thread, I was wrong, I'm glad your happy with the saw now. Dosen't matter what happened, just swallow the pride, eat the **** sandwich, (they don't taste good) earn a bunch of respect for doing it and just go on trying to improve, we never stop learning and growing up, I pray for wisdom everyday, first thing to start my day.
My boys learned the accepting responsibility and the Sir, yes Sir drill at an early age. I've been guilty of reaming one for a screw up, having them accept responsibilty without saying a word, only to have the other one come and confess later that they done it, they I have to go back and apologize to the first one, but tell them how much I respect them for taking the heat for the other brother.
They fight like cats and dogs, but man are they loyal to each other when cornered. Done for the night on this one! Back to the game.
.........It will never end..........HaaaaHaaaaaHaaaa.............Je Sus!!!!...........Learn, Pffft Hasn't happened yet..........Fark me!........
