That is possibly the best way to sum up this whole argument right there.
I always worked towards the thought of, its not about me, its about the guy next to me. Most of the men and women I worked with tended to agree with that idea.
I always found the idea of getting shot at personally disagreeable, but I worked through it. If you can't get past the shaving part, I don't think you fit the standard.
Nothing is funny to me than the jokes military personnel tell about each other.
How many CSMs does it take it change a light bulb?
Three, One to do it, one to tell you how it used to be, and another to tell you how it is.
Told to me by my old CSM.
