New Member Introduction

[Germinator_81]

Hello everyone, I signed up to this site, because I will soon join the CF family. I applied for ROTP to be an AERE officer, and I am accepted. I begin my Junior Year at the end of this month at CMR St-Jean. I am looking forward to begin a new career, learn new things and meet new people. Cheers!

Good luck and welcome to the site.  :nod:

Welcome,


Enjoy your training years. Listen to and trust your training NCO's. They may seem like they don't give a crap about you on course (aka ****), but they really do care that they are developing their future leaders. Their attitude and disposition has reason.  They are teaching you how to lead them.

When you are finished trades courses, never forget what you experienced on course. Every single decision, no matter how insignificant it may seem, will have rippling effects down to your troops. Be logical and think before you speak. There are no take backs....

Your sacrifice is others gain.

Good luck to you

J

Thank you for the advice, I've never been one to disregard experience and talent. According to rank, I may be superior,but I value experience a lot. I will take time to listen to their advice, and from taht make the best decisions possible.

One of the best pieces of advice I have received came from a family member (an NCO) - we do different jobs with different responsibilities, but ultimately there is no "superior" - we can't do our jobs without them, but quite often they do theirs without us.

That's what they all say
