Knowing yourself and how you will react in any given situation is absolutely crucial for a leader! I have a few triggers that I have developed pre-planned coping mechanisms for: shut up and why didn't you...

Anger was never something I was allowed to show. I always considered it a weakness. This may be a gender difference, but things that insult me because I'm a girl and weaker. Anything that downplays the experiences of women in the military or any employment can cause me to react. When I see a woman using her body and not her brain takes me back to past events that were negative. Most of the time I'm too dumbfounded to react at the time, so I stew about it so that is equally unhealthy. Women are hyper aware of the "bitch" label so either their gamed to be passive aggressive or they are honest and direct. Great post. So many things to think about in a split second!

An old timer saying I heard growing up was " A man who is slow to anger is married to wrath". I figured out what it meant when I was 10 but until then I thought my Grandmothers name was Wrath, because Grandpa never got mad.

When I hear some ask a question entering our area and the tech states I don't know it's not my job.

COL Lee Flemming - I always tell everybody you represent 50+ people when someone walks in and asks you a question. Then you respond with something like that? That is not how I represent you.

When someone starts talking about being in the military, and they never were in, just being idiots. Have to walk away before the hammer gets to drop.

Stolen valor is a big subject in my family. I have a former friend that took my letters home and mixed them with hollywood bs to fabricate stories that he was in the army and get discounts at Home Depot and people to buy him drinks. Anyway my civilian family members keep talking to him and think I'm the one with the problem. Glad you understand cowboy.

I have to be honest gentlemen...this sets me off too. There is a kinship that you have with your fellow SMs that should not be belittled by someone that is faking it...

COL Lee Flemming - fakers should be sent thru a basic training course to see what it really is like.
