I never use the “C” word or the “N” word.

Neither do I.

My father was a manly a man as you could possibly imagine: Street thug in his youth, suicide commando missions in WWII, judo instructor, truck driver, construction worker. My father-in-law was career Army: two tours in Korea, two tours in Vietnam, drill instructor.

Neither one of those men used coarse language. I suspect that men who do are compensating for something.

I greatly benefited from the experience of my 3 Platoon Sergeants, all of whom served at least one tour in Vietnam. They guided me in the right direction, as did my First Sergeant, who did 3 tours in Nam as an Infantry First Sergeant.

As I recall, they didn't swear much, either.

I remember a Battery level evaluation, and the First Sergeant was nervous as hell. So I went up to him and asked, "Hey Top, what's wrong?"

"LT, I don't know anything about ADA, what am I supposed to do?"

"You know how to set up and run a CP, don't you? That's all you need to do."

Imagine that, an old NCO taking advice from a 1LT with barely two years active duty. lol, damn I love those days.
