@marcusos1111: thanks! I don't usually feel so young, I've been a First Sergeant now for almost 3 years, starting just 4 months after this video was taken. Leading is always a challenge and takes alot out of you if you care. On the inside I feel like I'm ready for a retirement home.
It's funny that I look at this video of my promotion to SFC taken not too long ago, and now just over 27 months later, I've been selected for promotion to Master Sergeant. Everything COL Burton said then is just as true now. And after having served these last 2 years as a First Sergeant, I know that I made the right choice then to stay in and continue my Army career.
It means that we don't take too kindly to the kind of Soldiering that involves simply bullying your subordinates around, that's not the right way to develop aspiring future leaders.
How can you get a promotion in the military?

Congrats on the promotion. Btw I thought First Sergents had three rockers under the cheverons? Or is that the old WW2 ranking I'm thinking?
