What decisions have you made in your career that you look back on feel where mistakes?

When I was a brand-new 2nd Lt, I deliberately did something that I knew was wrong. I felt overtasked at the time and thought if I got in trouble, the worst that could happen was that I would get removed from this one duty I didn't want in the first place. Luckily, all I got was an LOC. The notoriety in my branch was worse. I learned you always have to do the right thing no matter how you're feeling at the moment.

As a CPT I was deployed to Kuwait for a 6 month tasking to work in the Third Army Command Group.  At the end of the tasking I was then told I would not redeploy I would stay another 6 months only in the PMO (my original section).
