Those of us who transition happily and successfully have found a new mission to take on. Helping my fellow veterans is my mission and my passion. That requires learning and growing. What's your mission and what are you doing about it?

My wife and I met when she was my primary care nurse. Sometimes fate changes all plans. We have been through 46 years now. She has been a gentle lamb and a fierce, kick me in the ass, when needed (especially when I thought I didn't need it). A nurse is a vocation that has basics that can be taught. A true nurse is an individual who can perform basics, but excels more times than not.

Good Morning, Colonel Burroughs and thank you for this post ~
As I read through the various quotes I am reminded of something I learned at some point in the Army which I believe (though I might be wrong on this point) was first coined at West Point. It made sense to me as a leader and served as a foundation for the way I lead my various units. "Mission First - People Always"
The mission must always be foremost but it cannot be accomplished without taking care of the people who will do the work of bringing about a successful result. Everybody wins in this scenario.
My predominant mission in life is to do all I can to let people know the truth of redemption so that in the end and on that great day, no one is left behind.
Have a blessed day and thank you for all you do!

LTC Stephen F. - Thank you, brother Ford, for your daily prayer and with respect to your first comment, I do my best to witness to others and testify of the Lord which requires three things of me: 1. I do so because of my love for the Lord; 2. I am willing; and 3. My love for the souls of others. And whatever good comes of it, the glory goes to the Lord.
Have a great evening, my friend.
Have a great evening, my friend.
