Private Benjamin said she'd like someone to call her by her name. Will you call Judy by her name?

Just gonna leave this right here...It is not good to routinely call your subordinates by their first names, HOWEVER, in some circumstances, when you are being more human, like when a tragedy or disappointment hits your trooper, the when it is one on one, calling him by name lets him know that you see that he is a human too. Judge rightly, and you will know when it is right.

I considered using the Obi One, but I see it so much that I thought I'd go with this other one:

I saw that when it first came out and I was stationed at Monterey, CA. So when the recruiter shows her the pics from F t Ord, Monterey, the soldiers in the theater start yelling "don't do it! It's a trick!"
