Congratulations!!
Congratulations!
@jitterboogie didn??t i tell you to stop worrying and just go take the blasted thing. You passed because you care and we??re preparing for the worst planning ahead and doing what ya needed to to. You were on here probably studying every section you could. Congratulations man. Drinks ??§ on me one day. It took me 47 years to realize if I prepare it works out much better lol. Awesome. So glad. Mow join me in preparing for next exam. ?ÿBack to the grind.
oh studied every second. Now join me not not mow. To do not to to. Geezers this field is a new field and bumpy. Sorry. Lol but congrats.?ÿ
@jon-payne you have shucked the corn plum down to the cob. ?ÿGreat points. When i was in the military I had a wise old Master gunnery sgt that was retiring and he came by the house to meet me after I had taken on an injury and refused to be medically discharged. He said i didn??t come here to talk you out of staying in the USMC because You have made up your mind and no one can change that. He said what I am about to tell you is over simplified but take it for what its worth. He said you will have two choices as you progress in your career and those two choices you are going to see face to face for the rest of your life in both the Marines and whenever you get out. He said there are two distinct leaders out there. More but to simplify two. One who leads by example and mentors and does everything he or she can to make those below him or her self better than they are and better than you are. 2nd those who protect themselves and make sure no one can rise above them. They make themselves look good by making others look bad or they steal the credit of those better than than them . They teach or mentor only enough to keep themselves in the spotlight. He said once you heal and pass the requirements to continue on for however long you stay in the USMC or go on back to the civy life which one you become is up to you. But I am signing this release so you can do what you say you want and that is to finish your enlistment as anyone that can fight like you have and go through the pain and want to continue on has to be option 1. Don??t let me down. I see this same thing in surveying government all the time. Managers that are smart and productive but refuse to mentor or help promote and or flat out push those who should be moving to the next level. I see it where I am now and it makes me cringe to see personal that have so much talent and knowledge but some by there own issues but the leadership at the top refuses to do whatever it takes to push them out of their comfort zone by whatever means necessary even sometimes they need to be given a directive of if you don??t do X then you need to go. I know it is hard to find people and many companies have lifers they don??t want to lose because they make the company money as crew chiefs etc. But would those same people do the same with there children or would they push them in a reasonable way to be better. I push my kids. I challenge them. I don??t mean i am a drill instructor to them i do my best to force them a little at a time out of there comfort zone to learn to challenge themselves to learn that if they fail it is not the end of the world they only need to try try again after figuring out why they failed. ?ÿI am by no means a perfect parent i fail continuously. No instructions came out on their toes on how to operate them. Each one is different each one responds differently to me and my wife and challenges we set for them. No different other than money ???ø for those below us or above us. I know a company know the owner well. He will fire in a heartbeat anyone no matter how much money they bring to the company if they don??t make those below better. I saw him personally let a very smart and very well connected person go away. We are talking great money because he saw him holding people back for his own protection. His company has flourished from a mom and pop to multi state engineering and surveying company. If he ever made it out my way i would not hesitate to ask for a job. Because i know his leadership is passed on through out the company. He is not in business just to make money but he does. He grows people to their best ability. Thats a mindset we all should reach fore. And I know it is easier said than done. Especially in to days economic culture.
Way to go, fella! ?ÿWell done.
