Excellent point Stitches and right on the money.
You don't need to justify your decision to me or anyone else. But when I have a decision I'm facing I like to find someone older and more experienced, present them my options, ask the question(s), and then be quiet and LISTEN.
True about not needing to explain or defend a position to anybody; BUT, why then do SO MANY of these types of kids come on asking for guidance and then constantly turn a deaf ear because they are not being told how smart and special they are and how everything will turn out just the way they want and all players get a trophy at the end of the season? They are looking for that validation - not true insight.
You don't need to be a gung-ho type guy to succeed either.
Nope - don't need to be Rambo or even....yes I'm going to say it...Chuck Norris
; BUT you had darn well at least be dedicated if your on my wing going to do the job. People's lives could be on the line. Anyone who refers to our military as those "war-type person[s]" doesn't seem to have what it takes to make it.
