What HD said. You do look at nearly everything in a negative light. The fact that you're compelled to rebutt anything positive anyone says about the service with your own bad experiences speaks volumes. I know you think you're being "fair and ballanced," but nothing in my post presented a rosy "all mess dress & choker whites" picture of anything. It certainly didn't need a rebuttal and it's getting a little tiresome.You absolutely can dipense all the experience and leadership advice you want. Nobody is stopping you.
I will, however, continue to dispense my observations that it's not all Choker Whites out there. Hell, if everything is running so damn smoothly, why do I have to stop what I am doing to have all-hands "Ethics" training at this stage in my career?
Sorry you feel that way, and too bad you don't know the first thing about my service. If you did, you'd know that it has been anything but mediocre.
But hey man, whatever - you do your thing.
I'm sure you've got a host of tips and best practices that you pass on to your SNAs on a daily basis to help make their lives easier and to increase their chances of success. If your studs argued with you and told you they shouldn't bother trying to be good because some people are able to squeek by by doing the minimum, I imagine that might not sit well with you or your peers.
