Like I said, I don't have too many regrets. At my unit, the kids hold me in awe, and that actually helps train them - they pay closer attention to a guy who's worn railroad tracks at their age.
I also help by mentoring the young officers, and the cadets. The OCS sponsors ask for me every time, because I speak both languages. I figure that, maybe I can stand as an example, of how not to screw up and lose your rank. (G)
I've been offered Warrant, and that offer's still on the table. But there's too much to do now.
At the Command Center, I assist the mobilizations and alerts, the emergency call-ups, and provide a Guard presence in the Ops Center when there's trouble. And, that's what people forget. Operation Noble Eagle keeps on going, with the homeland security jobs, the governor assists, and all the other little missions that pop up right here at home.
Find out. Ask. Volunteer. We're glad to have you.
