 As NCOs, we can be the biggest difference in these junior Marines' lives. If you have Marines, can they budget? Are they a good husband? Are they a good wife? If they want to get out in four years, do they know what they want to do? Do they have a plan? There's a difference between demanding respect and then earning respect. And I feel like through your leadership style, through you actually taking care of that individual Marine, you won't have to demand anything. They will willingly and willfully just provide that up. Be the kind of Marine you want to be able to talk about when you go home after four years, after 24 years. Be the person you want to be spoken about at your funeral. Same thing with being a Marine when you go home. Be that person you want to be able to talk about. The motto of the Second Marine Division is follow me. I want to challenge you to do some self-analysis. If your Marines were given the option, but they still choose to follow you.
