TIP OF THE SPEAR

Nobility is as nobility does

One of these photos represents professionals displaying substance, dignity, and nobility of character. The other two exemplify embarrassing frivolity in the workplace. For which of these photos do you think I ascribe each of these qualities?

As I write this I’m just back from Fort Benning and the International Sniper Competition (ISC). I’m very privileged and fortunate to be a trainer and coach for a unit that places high value on the preparation of their sniper teams for competition. I had four teams this year, some of which I’ve worked with many times previously, some for the first time.

While I’d hoped my most experienced team would win (last year that team finished a close second behind a team from 3/75 Rangers), this year they took third behind the victorious team from the 3^rd Special Forces Group, and just behind another team from 3/75 in second place.

So in other words, again they did FANTASTIC!!!
