And then when one said he was an atheist, the Christian told him, "I understand where you would choose that because Christianity is confusing, but once you really dive in it just starts to make sense. And truthfully I'm not 100% there yet, but I am trying to get there."

Why can't we keep Soldiers in? You earn leave and then get asked for 13 documents, 46 reasons and the hair of your first born in order to put in a REQUEST that might not be approved/disapproved until the day prior. #peoplefirst

Leader pro tip: keep an extra flag patch and unit patch in your shoulder pockets. Then when someone loses theirs (it inevitably happens to all of us) you can just toss them a patch rather than watch them get smoked for it. #miltwitter #usarmy #leadership

Dear Senior Leaders: if you are holding meetings/syncs/office calls as early as 0800 & then at 1700 or later in evening, regularly, You are NOT people first. Just because you have no life, family or time management skills doesn’t mean rest of us don’t #BackwardsPlanningIsCritical

@scottjstephens Also discouraging to stay in when you can't go to PME due to pregnancy, which can allow our counterparts to get ahead by leaps and bounds. Frustrating for officers- CCC/ILE. But really career hindering for Soldiers- BLC/SLC/ALC- schools required prior to promotion.
