I have been heard stating that "the most basic lesson a Soldier needs to learn is: Keep your mouth shut and do what the ((BEEEP)) you're told."
I don't say this in order to lean into autocratic leadership. I say it because I believe it is the catalyst for self discipline and conformity to the military environment.
Q: What are your thought?
Q: Do you have a different "basic rule?"
Any and all thoughts welcome.
Please and Thank You.

2LT Chris Loomis, Wall poster, Ft Knox 1953: "There was a wise old Owl who sat in a oak, the less he spoke, the more he saw; the more he saw, the more he knew, oh Soldier, be like that Owl".

I agree, being aware of your situation often means keeping your mouth shut, listening closely and acting on what your being told... however sometimes it also means communicating information effectively.
