 My name is Petty Officer Leo Cios. I've been in the Coast Guard for just over 10 years now and I am a company commander in the Coast Guard. What made me want to be a company commander is that you roll an example that my company commanders had set. When I came through recruit training, the professionalism and above reproach that my company commanders had made me want to strive to set that example for the next generation of Coast Guard's men and women. I manage my work life and home life by just doing a lot of physical activities, running, jujitsu, just being outdoors. Me and another company commander, we just did ultramarathon, and that was eye-opening to how hard it was. I would do another one in a heartbeat. It was hard, but when you finish, there's nothing quite like completing something that not a lot of people can. I got into jujitsu because I listened to a lot of jacquo willing. It talks about it a lot, so I figured I'd give it a try. And it's been fun ever since. Jujitsu has helped me as a company commander to the humility that it imparts on you that you really don't know much of anything once you show up. And then you slowly gain more skills. And that's the same way as coming here as a company commander. My favorite thing about being a company commander is watching the change of these young adults coming through work or training from civilians. And on graduation day, the pride that they have and the accomplishment that they show, really, that's one of the best things that I've experienced in my Coast Guard career is watching them grow as people.
