CJ ~ my father used to tell my brothers and me that the measure of a man was 1) his word and how he kept it and 2) not so much what he did right or wrong but how he owned up to either.

Sorry the week was rough and the intent to do a good thing went so whacky. Hopefully this week started off and will end much better.

Sounds like you made a mistake…everybody does. The good thing is that you acknowledged it and worked to find a solution. I see a heck of a lot of people in the corporate world try to just sweep their mistakes under the rug. Wish more people followed your example in cases when mistakes are made.

You are responsible as a person. You are a soldier as a job. You will be successful in whatever you do in life by doing the right thing, even when no one is watching. Thanks for the job that you do.

I don't recall the Army drawing the list of 1SG's out of a hat. Someone correctly assumed you had the stuff for the job.

CJ,
I guess this is the kind of stuff I will need to put up with when I join up. Good way you dealt with it though, I may need your advice in the coming years, lol.

CJ,
I am sorry for your bad week but I'm glad that everything worked out well and your job was saved too! You are to be commended for your honesty. Some people would have shifted blame somewhere else or tried to cover up their mistakes.

A diamond in the rough, it seems.

Cj, your a good guy, don't forget that.
