Regardless of your rank, you learned about leadership skills and traits. You may have had the privilege of using those skills in a leadership position in the military, or you used them indirectly to have a positive effect on your peers. After you left the military, did you find a way to use those same leadership skills for the betterment of your company, your team, or perhaps someone you wished to aid to success. Please share with us such a situation and how you were able to make a difference in a positive way because of your leadership.

SFC Thomas Nichols great share, I used the 7 core Army Values and I picked up the word Dignity/Respect while I was in. It sure has done me some good in the Civilian World.

The seven Army Values are the foundation of the Army Profession.

I use my experiences for those who have PTSD and want the help. It's taking care of others.

What I brought with me from the Marine Corps experience that served me well in my civilian occupation was: being goal oriented, leading by example, leading from the front, showing respect up and down the chain of command, keeping everyone informed through constant communication, and that "can do" approach to all assignments. That skill set gave me an advantage over others that I competed with for promotions, and I advanced rather quickly. No better place than the military to learn those things.
