 Being a Marine is one of my dreams as a small child, I guess. My mom's got pictures of me when I was four or five years old, walk around in old school Marine Corps tricolors with a pellet gun that shoulder arms. Spread out and get some security. I'm Sergeant Bryan Early, I'm from Libby, Montana. My job as a squalor is to develop the Marines under my charge, both professionally, tactically and technically proficient at our jobs. And on patrol is to get the commander's intent, commander's guidelines done with the best possible in state and with the least amount of friction and make sure all my Marines come home safely. When I plan out the patrol orders, me and the other squalor leaders sit down and obviously most importantly in our mind is the safety of the Marines out at us to bring everybody back. Personally, the most important thing is the safety of my Marines to make sure everybody come home safe. I'd rather be the first one through the door. So if anybody has to take it around, I'd rather have it be me. I have you Lima, Charlie, how me over. Growing up through the Marine Corps, I've had a lot of strong NCOs and I learned a lot from them. And one of the big things I learned as a junior Marine as a PFC or Lance Corporal is that train your Marines like they're your little brothers. Always keep in the back of your mind that that's somebody's son that you hold his life in your hands and they'll treat you accordingly. As an infantryman, our mission is to locate, close with and destroy the enemy by fire maneuver. So I try to instill that as much as possible in my Marines. And if I show them that I'm scared, then they're not willing to follow me into that gunfire.
