@groundlandfield@rArmyReddit This right here is an under appreciated factor. If you provide a decent QoL, allow some self direction in task MGMT & career path, and let them work a job they care about…you probably won’t need bonuses
@EODHappyCaptain Lots of good advice in here, but one that really helped me was from my CSM when I pinned 1SG, “leadership is not an individual event”, he told me to reach out to mentors, peers, anyone with good info to be the best I could be for the Soldiers.
@EODHappyCaptain I only knew him for a short time at school, but it was a big loss felt across the community. IAW his wishes, his ashes were explosively scattered on the EOD range at Ft. Polk, LA. We Remember.

@EODHappyCaptain Dude, what I wouldn’t give to have had Rubble helping out with the pro works! Just now realizing that his little bulldozer/backhoe is remarkably similar to the old Small Emplacement Excavator (SEE) trucks that we used to have.
