 You care for the men and they'll care for you. That's the biggest lesson I've ever learned from a leader. My name is Andrew Rivera. My rank is Staff Sergeant. I'm with 2nd Brigade 1502, Cobra Company. And I'm a platoon sergeant. 2nd platoon is platoon sergeant. Why did I join the Army? It's kind of a dream line. It was something I always wanted to do. I thought that it was a good way to protect the ones I love at home. That's why I joined, you know, it's kind of a sense of duty. Today we're doing squad life fire. The purpose of this exercise is to allow our seasoned squad leaders and young squad leaders to come out here and demonstrate to their PLs and the commanders that they are capable of leading their troops into any kind of situation that we ask them to. I would say that's very important to show your guys that you can do everything that you ask them to do. It's very important. You know, if you can't demonstrate your ability to do the things that you're asking then they're going to not have the trust that they can do it themselves. So if you can show that you can do it, then they're going to have the trust in themselves that they can do it as well. I've had an incredible leader throughout my career. But I would say a squad that I had back at Fort Bliss taught me what it truly means to take care of your guys and in turn, without asking, without the forcing function of what you'd imagine. It just naturally happens that you want to also take care of the tasks that have for the squad, for the platoon. If you take care of your guys, they're going to want to take care of you.
