I grew up not knowing my farther until i was in my late 20's, so i found farther figures threw many like Bruce lee and a few NCO's. Mainly SSG Britten who was my first NCO when i was in Korea. He taught me everything i needed to know about my job, and he also took me under his wing. He was a great friend and an excellent soldier, even though we lost contact i will never forget him and all he taught me in life. I just wandering have anyone ekse ever had an NCO that influened them not only in the service but also in life, and to say i thank him SSG Morfin and SFC marshall for being a true symbol of what it means to be an NCO.

I see them as the apex of leadership, facilitating the growth pesonally and professionally, impacting someone for a lifetime. I can't thank the NCOs enough for taking care of soldiers and me lol

I have a similar background as you, SPC, but I still don't know my father beyond the name on my birth certificate. I also didn't have an NCO step up like yours did, and I am happy someone did for you.
My Father-in-law put a lot of work into shaping the man I am now. He was an NCO in the Vietnam era, but had been out of the service long before I met the man. Perhaps that's what motivated him to help me out quite a bit.
Since I didn't get what you did, I've stepped to the plate for several soldiers during my career. Someone has to, and again, I'm happy someone did for you. Do SSG Britton a favor and find him, and thank him for what he did for you. It'll close the loop for both of you, and perhaps motivate him to do it again for another guy.
