I love this. Wish I had found more junior officers with this mind set

The whole "Do a little analysis of your delivery" piece of advice could have saved me a good piece of trouble.

But the "Some leaders are just jerks" ? Also true.

is to listen and learn from their NCOs. Unfortunately, many don't and I've run into a lot of them. If they haven't learned that by the time they hit 1LT, they probably won't .

The old saying..."Overheard a 2LT say, based on my experience" is still valid then as today. LT's are learning. Listen and learn from those who have more experience.
