Enjoying the articles you are writing and commenting upon. I hope the senior leaders and an ear to the ground and are listening to, and acting on, the ideas that you and MAJ Long are presenting.
ReplyDeleteI am a former active duty FA officer and now serve in the KS Army National Guard. I am going to spread your and MAJ Long's articles around the folks I work with. Hopefully more will realize there is more to being sucessful then being able to run 13 minute two miles and weighing at most 170 lbs.
Keep up the good fight, thanks again.
In addition to the above I should mention that I am a career firefighter now, and I am trying to spread the same message to guys at the firehouse and around the department. Too many think the way to go is to get "ripped" doing P90X or some such nonsense, or being able to run for a long time. Never mind the fact that on the fireground I have not seen anyone run a long distance, but rather using strength and power to move a hoseline around, pull down ceilings and opening walls, or carry a victim out.
ReplyDeleteRight on, brother. Thanks.
