I served 21 years. On two occasions I was given orders that would have left me exposed to court martial if I carried them out and something went wrong. On each occasion when I asked them to put the order in writing they withdrew the order and never tried it on again. Neither of them lasted too long before the system sorted them out.
may I just say the first 5 min of this are SO up my aisle. Bosses who think its ok to "game" the system --> the worst. Now I'd like to challenge this a bit: what if the boss is ok with it. My boss went on a whole chat where they all compared petty crimes they got away with while they were teenagers. Spoiler: 90% of the staff has at least commited some kind of petty theft.
The first few minutes of the video reminds me of something. I do carpet cleaning, restretching, tile cleaning and contractual Shreveport city sewer backups as well as regular residential water damages in the greater area. I've noticed a far too common pattern In houses located in upper middle class/rich neighborhoods with $200,000-$1,000,000+ homes and mansions. The first thing is, I usually see cheap, thin 6 lb padding under carpet which allows the carpet to move/flex more when you step on it, causing excess wear and flexing to the backing and a shorter lifespan. People pay that much for a home in which contractors will charge top dollar for materials and skim a minimum of $50 per roll (30 yds/roll and commonly 5 to 10 rolls per mansion to meet the square footage requirements) or they'll overcharge as if it's several hundred $$$$ per roll of padding and not some cheap $60/roll stuff that they actually install. OR they will overcharge per yard which is just plain dirty to do to people as its probably the greediest way to rip someone off in this way. This gets into thousands of dollars skimmed. That's just for one home. These jerkoffs build entire neighborhoods. The other thing is that the tack strip is almost always WAY too far from the baseboards, which is a rushed/hurried job and makes it very difficult to secure the carpet in place, as it doesn't give you a tight space to pinch the edges of the carpet into. Tack strip doesn't hold carpet well by itself. Never mind stretching it, if you tug on it hard enough by hand it will come loose. This and installing via knee kicker instead of a power stretcher and then charging out the ass for the initial stretch when it could be sufficiently tight to begin with are the two reasons your carpet will bubble in places and need to be restretched within a few years. If a carpet is good quality, has thicker 8lb padding underneath it, and it powerstretched properly during install, that motherfucker should last you 20 years without any major issue. There might be a closet or a corner of a room somewhere that isn't as tight as it could've been. But you should NEVER have to have entire rooms restretched after a couple years. That's just a lazy unethical installer. If you live in a "nice" home in Shreveport/Bossier City Louisiana, there is a solid chance that your shit is cheap underneath your feet and all they did was pay attention to the trim and paint to make everything look pretty.
Anybody who wants RESPECT KINDNESS HELPFULNESS FROM others HAS to behave in those ways towards themselves and only then will they behave like that towards others. If and when I do get a Rent-To-Own single family 2 bedroom house in Orlando, Florida in the future I will be better off treating myself and others with kindness, respect, fairness and dignity!
Anybody who wants carpeting to be done in their home who is in an extreme hurry is missing out on the opprotunity to work with and treat others how they themselves would want to be treated if they were the ones whose job it was to correctly, properly install the carpeting.
Its that way in Illinois too... Worked for an installer (that I quit working for quite soon after starting) that would take extra materials home, especially when over ordered. One time was a dental office that he took probably 4-5 grand in expensive base molding and carpet tiles. Shitty part was that he was there to fix the previous contractors errors and essentially took home all the "necessary" materials he ordered right to his garage to "Craigslist that shit" as he would put it. I walked after that and called the store he subbed for.
WRONG! Our actions, behavior, self discipline, beliefs, attitudes, how we conduct ourselves WILL BE revealed when we RESPECT, appreciate, love and do things from our hearts that our conscience guides and tells us to DO!! To be OUR BEST!!! DON'T EVER SELL OUT on doing what you know inside of your mind and heart are RIGHT!!! STAND STRONG!! BE AND BEHAVE IN WAYS THAT YOU ADMIRE AND WANT TO BE LIKE!! MAKE time EVERY DAY to warm up, stretch out, work out, do calasthenics, eat clean, eat enough protein, stay hydrated, balance your diet and live healthier! Treat your body and mind with RESPECT!!! Do 20 slow rep push-ups every day. I did them today. I did them yesterday too. Now all I have to do is: 20-30 burpees! 20-30 jumping jacks! Modified pull-ups! I am a beginner. I have to warm up, stretch out, and do pistol squats even though I am a beginner!

I can't convice my room mates to AIM in the toilet. This is funny....but also really, really sad. How do you fail that hard at being a grown up. This may seem silly, but if you have to clean up the toilet every day, it gets really annoying real fast.
@@andrabook8758 I don't think it has so much to do with aim. In my experience, it seems to have more to do with thoughtlessness and a lack of respect. The fact that the door is closed makes it easier, I guess, to just not care because, "it's not my job", or "someone else can do it". But really though, (as someone who has developed this habit,) how hard is it to grab some tp every single time, and to wipe the rim before I flush? Because if I didn't drip, someone else left something before I got there. Idk though. Maybe it's crazy to care about the next person?
@@stephenpiper2052 are you saying you develped the habbit to be unable to leave the bathroom toilet clean? or which habbit? if you had to clean the toilet before using it several times a day each day.....yes that does take a toll. I am less concerned with how "caring" he is and more concerned with rudeness, and incompetency. Particularly when he's the one complaining the most when someone else (me) doesn't do his dishes. Its never just the 1 thing with guys like that. Woke me up bc he was yelling at his exwife on the phone a few weeks back. Made my pet uncomfortable. Not ok. A pet who has impecable bathroom skills, FYI. So. What do you call it when your dog has more sense and respect that the human?
This may have helped me avoid a bad situation. I'm a cadet in CAP. I'm a flight Sergeant, and my squadron's first Sergeant is a terrible leader. He pouts, pulls rank, calls people, including his superiors out in front of everyone, and worst of all, he talks bad about my flight commander behind his back. That puts me in a position where I have to betray his trust or the oath I took to obey and respect my officers. Another layer of complexity it that his dad is the squadron commander. But me, my flight Com, and my Co-Flight Sergeant decided to go to the commander about this. After listening to some of jocko's advice, we decided to try to talk with the first Sergeant about his problems.
I admit: I wrought you off profiling. Damn if I wasnt corrected soon as hearing you talk. You have a great mind sir. And I'm proud of people because of folks like you. Keep spreading positivity my man--
It is a last resort, but sometimes very necessary, hence why it exists. There was a time when I had to use it. Sometimes lines get crossed and people don't like each other, I get that. This is where this comes in. My example is when the Air Force did Force Shaping in 2005. I volunteered to be deployed to a combat zone 2002-2003 in a former Soviet "Republic." I did my duty and was sent back to my original base overseas. It was great. I loved the military at that point. My friends were superb and we had camaraderie that I would give anything for today in the civilian world. I was going to make it a career, but we received a horribly incompetent base commander. I was going to ride out my enlistment overseas, but all my friends were leaving. My orders transferred me stateside and it just got worse. I'm not sure what leadership they teach stateside versus overseas, but it was really atrocious. The morale was so low, an Air Force cop killed himself right near our jet. Blew his head off. We were very upset about this. I asked to be let out via the Force Shaping program, but I kept being given the okay and then a week later turned down. This happened 5-6 times. Then I followed the chain of command. I informed my senior enlisted guy in my shop, he gave me the runaround, I told him I would go to the captain, he gave me the runaround, I told him I was going up the chain, etc, eventually I got to a Full Bird Colonel at Randolph AFB and miraculously I got what I professionally asked for. The lesson of the story is, the military needs better leadership and more respect for enlisted members that do their job and volunteer to go into combat. My son enlisted in the Navy and I am very proud of him. If any NCOs or Officers read this, clean up your mess. You have a very serious problem with morale.
Speaking from the outside looking in, my best friend is a captain, former air force. He recently had an experience MUCH like yours in the Air Nat Guard. Base commander was making outlandish, unkeepable promises and essentially using this guy as a desk jockey rather than utilizing his extensive experience as a pilot, all while totally ignoring the festering, high-school level gossip and drama on the base. After multiple times trying to rectify the situation, my friend dropped out, all of a couple years before he hit his full 20. The bullshit was just too much.

I like the repeated conversations and opportunities to correct this wrong approach. This is SO important! But so many don’t get this….Outside of this Military, this approach often times doesn’t work. We usually don’t have time for this kind of back and forth communication. We are all so busy, performing other tasks that REQUIRE 100% attention…And when the work is done it’s time to go home and nothing gets resolved
I’ve kind of skipped my chain of command while trying to go EOD(navy). I was in two different work centers. I got completed Fucked by my CW05... for 2.5 years. When I finally went EOD I didn’t want to be in the Navy anymore
@@adrianhayden7430 Old podcast, Adam said how the sink is the perfect level for the average man to do Number 1, and why waste the flush? Just look up "adam carolla pissing in sink".
Just gotta get this off my chest. I worked for a company that was consistently sub contracted. I would get told "alright you guys got 5 days to get this job done" by day 3 , we could be done. But we get paid hourly, and if I don't work I don't get paid. So if I have 5 days, I'm making it take all 5 days. This is tough because if I knew I'd get another job to supplement the off days we'd get it done faster. And other side of the coin was if I got a job done faster and killed it, the contractor would add on work to make us worth the while. So on one hand I have to drag out a job to make money, and the other is that if I do a great job way faster, I get punished. Its taken me a few years to grasp that doing "the best" doesn't actually benefit me. And its frustrating.
Yeah. If I was in that situation, this isn't a guarantee these things will work, but I would try to see if there was a way to change the incentives where one would get rewarded for getting the job done faster. In the longer term, I would look into whether I could do my own business with that way, especially if reputation and honesty could be used as a leverage point to say why one is better than some competitors that customers who used that company now regret using, and one has the customers testimonials to back it up for one's own work.
Their power is our perception of their power. No one has any power that we don't give them. We give them all the power that they have. That includes these politicians, these banks, and these religious leaders.
This gets tricky when dealing with corruption eg if your on a team that is corrupt and shit testing you, you then whistleblow to a boss that covers for their corrupt team mate etc such a nightmare only option is to go over the head of the superior in order to tackle the issue from my point of view, in all cases though as the moral individual the whistlblower always gets it in the neck they are in a catch 22 and cannot win.
4:04 For our benefit we should have those hard conversations sooner than later. Because if we don't take care of business, business will take care of us.
My great grandfather and a coworker got into an argument while working in Central America in the early 1900s. He told the coworker "well we'll just talk out it when the boss man gets here next week." The coworker then shot and killed my great grandfather. So, uh, seems kinda relevant to the video lol.
Most of the time , they already know whats going on , there are a million rats for every ship. They use it to their advantage, until it becomes visible, then they act on it.
My lead at work and me got into it he said I'm always fucking whining and don't work or do anything and yet he just spoke about himself..he started yelling and speaking over me...I tried to speak to my supervisor about him but it just went over his head...so I had to go to are agency and file a complaint and my head head boss knows about what's been going on...don't help when my lead and supervisor are friends so will see how this plays out got offered a transfer if nothing works out but my head head boss told me she had to deal with my lead before and seen how his anger gets the best of him
I disrespected a petty officer who was an E4 by saying something smart to him when he called up to the shop. He then came up to the shop, busted in the door, and choked me out until almost blacking out. The E5 got wind of it and chewed me out. Then the E6 got involved. He said that I could press charges if I wanted but if I did, I would go to captains mast for disrespect of a non-commissioned officer. I decided not to file charges and it was swept under the rug. I don't think the situation rose above our small shop. I would have done it differently. Perhaps. Live and learn. I already had a dirtbag label for being late to muster a few times. Maybe I should not have lied about having ADHD to get in. Oh well. They pay me 3000/mo now for service connected disability. I did call a lot of attention to myself while I was in.
I take responsibility for my actions. We were returning home from 111 days at sea after being on sustained bombing operations. He was under stress and probably had some unresolved anger issues. Because I didn't press charges I was able to get accepted for corpsman school and get out of a bad situation.
The manager may not being the one screwing up. Look at yourself, your own behaviors and treat yourself with RESPECT. Because when you do that you will treat yourself with RESPECT and GIVE RESPECT to others!
@@jenniferdana5665 even project that i had no hand in seems to come up botched. i make mistakes just as well as the next person, but i don't deny them and i fix the issues i have caused.
I work in a cannabis cultivation and I see people (my bosses especially) breaking rules all the time. But there excuse is that who cares this is federally illegal anyways; which is hard to argue against. I’m not sure if my owner really cares enough or would they just fire me after ratting people out. Weird spot because I’m a “supervisor”.
Don't just think about the "letter of the law". Sometimes it's impossible to follow exactly what the law says. If you are following the intent, then close enough in my opinion. If you are allowing unethical things, or unsafe things to happen then you need to stop it.
What if the only person thats getting affected by my bosses actions is me. I was essentially blamed for something that they failed to do, and it cost me my position. But do i take action or should i leave it because the only person who got affected by it was me.
Develop a reputation for suggesting going to the boss. Then everyone will think you always will and are willing to submit to authority or the right thing to do.

That is a fascinating cultural difference lol My rule is if I'm actually washing in the shower I might piss if I need to go. If it's not running, I'd rather go outside and piss on a tree or fence than another person have to stand in a puddle of my piss to turn the shower on. Can't say I have ever pissed in a sink. If I saw that I'd probably laugh, but it is pretty grotty.
Tattling is right on. If one of my kids tattled to me I’d tell them I’m the parent and I was ignoring that. Go off and be a kid. Because that’s exactly what I was doing, and I’m not going to put up with a kid trying to decide my priorities.
That's a bit much. Telling the truth is a good thing. It's your responsibility to teach them when it is important to "tattle". Kids telling you your priorities is a bit egotistical lol.
Or you tell your leader what their doing is wrong and a major break in protocol, you do what they tell you to do anyway. Then you go over their head and report them for breaking protocol and you end up getting written up, no raise at your review, and all the while that leader sits back and laughs because he broke protocol and still got his raise.
@@OrDuneStudios but how would you respond? Just by now following that order? Tell those under you to not follow the order? Or do something more drastic?
And if you are in the guard and see local law enforcement doing unconstitutional things how should you respond? I'm thinking of New Orleans during the hurricane.
you think this is bad? I had someone try to debate with me the ethics of going after terrorists - at army open house. He was an officer. He didn't seem happy when I challenged his logic. I had not spent enough time fully appreciating the nuance of the fallacies before answering. At first I thought: he's just testing - nope. That moment when you wish they were just a manipulative dumbass, but they're legit and that is much, much worse (in this scenario, not in normal scenarios, in normal scenarios I like straight up ppl). LOL.
@@andrabook8758 One of the most difficult things in life is to understand that sometimes are wrong when you were sure that you were right. It makes life alot easer if you come at a conversation from the direction of: tell me more about that, or can you explain why you think x,or y. Quite often each person just knows different facts that relate to the topic. Start from a place of respect, and more forward.
You are Saying 1) That you are to insult your Boss by telling him ,"Listen Boss if you do anything Illegal/Immoral I will not cover up for you 2) You are to tell your Boss if you do anything Illegal/Immoral you should hide it from me What is wrong with this is that if you are a Public servant, you are not your Bosses Servant. i.e. If you are a Soldier you are a servant of your country , not of your Boss.

Hes not insulting him hes letting him know that the shit doesnt fly around me. Hes not telling him not to do it around you but not to do it in general. (This of course is before anything happens) kinda weird to bring it out of the blue but perhaps during briefings etc.

Can you elaborate?
@@adrianhayden7430 Old podcast, Adam said how the sink is the perfect level for the average man to do Number 1, and why waste the flush? Just look up "adam carolla pissing in sink".
Jocko "don't piss in my sink." Willink
Just gotta get this off my chest. I worked for a company that was consistently sub contracted. I would get told "alright you guys got 5 days to get this job done" by day 3 , we could be done. But we get paid hourly, and if I don't work I don't get paid. So if I have 5 days, I'm making it take all 5 days. This is tough because if I knew I'd get another job to supplement the off days we'd get it done faster. And other side of the coin was if I got a job done faster and killed it, the contractor would add on work to make us worth the while. So on one hand I have to drag out a job to make money, and the other is that if I do a great job way faster, I get punished. Its taken me a few years to grasp that doing "the best" doesn't actually benefit me. And its frustrating.
Yeah. If I was in that situation, this isn't a guarantee these things will work, but I would try to see if there was a way to change the incentives where one would get rewarded for getting the job done faster.
In the longer term, I would look into whether I could do my own business with that way, especially if reputation and honesty could be used as a leverage point to say why one is better than some competitors that customers who used that company now regret using, and one has the customers testimonials to back it up for one's own work.
Their power is our perception of their power. No one has any power that we don't give them. We give them all the power that they have. That includes these politicians, these banks, and these religious leaders.
Love your neighbor as yourself
Thank you big brothers!

Thank You Much 😊
Jocks, four of you brushing teeth in the same sink!
Amazing.
This gets tricky when dealing with corruption eg if your on a team that is corrupt and shit testing you, you then whistleblow to a boss that covers for their corrupt team mate etc such a nightmare only option is to go over the head of the superior in order to tackle the issue from my point of view, in all cases though as the moral individual the whistlblower always gets it in the neck they are in a catch 22 and cannot win.
And THAT'S A Good Reason To NEVER JOIN :)
@@nunyadambidniss it’s a good reason to look for another job ASAP.
Man that was a long piss segment guys I got the point right away.
The rule book is called the OCR. Officer Candidate Regulations
Best podcast ever
4:04 For our benefit we should have those hard conversations sooner than later. Because if we don't take care of business, business will take care of us.

I dont break chain of command, I go right to the source
Wow bro u are so crazy
Everybody serves somebody. Including the superior.
This was very good advice for jobs where you have to go over your managers head. Also the part about the pissing was disgusting.
My great grandfather and a coworker got into an argument while working in Central America in the early 1900s. He told the coworker "well we'll just talk out it when the boss man gets here next week." The coworker then shot and killed my great grandfather. So, uh, seems kinda relevant to the video lol.
When safety is involved I’d say
Most of the time , they already know whats going on , there are a million rats for every ship. They use it to their advantage, until it becomes visible, then they act on it.
Be kind to people, but don't let them take advantage of you. And trust people, but don't let them deceive you.
My lead at work and me got into it he said I'm always fucking whining and don't work or do anything and yet he just spoke about himself..he started yelling and speaking over me...I tried to speak to my supervisor about him but it just went over his head...so I had to go to are agency and file a complaint and my head head boss knows about what's been going on...don't help when my lead and supervisor are friends so will see how this plays out got offered a transfer if nothing works out but my head head boss told me she had to deal with my lead before and seen how his anger gets the best of him
Yea..skipping that chain is not good. Build the relationship
Sometimes its necessary.

One of my favorite pass times lol
which one? >_>....cuz I think there will be ppl coming over to speak with you if you're doing the sink thing
Toward the title of the video? Hold the sink
@@ShawnPatrickMurphy LOOOL
SORRY BROTHERS love u all
When people's safety is involved. Time to supercede.
Cannot stress it more, skipping the chain of command is THE last resort.
BTW,
This "Chain Of Command"
Doesn't Actually Exist.
IT'S MADE UP, A FICTION :)
Thank you sir for this video

That got a green beret killed by seals by confronting them instead of going over their heads if I have my info correct.
I disrespected a petty officer who was an E4 by saying something smart to him when he called up to the shop. He then came up to the shop, busted in the door, and choked me out until almost blacking out. The E5 got wind of it and chewed me out. Then the E6 got involved. He said that I could press charges if I wanted but if I did, I would go to captains mast for disrespect of a non-commissioned officer. I decided not to file charges and it was swept under the rug. I don't think the situation rose above our small shop. I would have done it differently. Perhaps. Live and learn. I already had a dirtbag label for being late to muster a few times. Maybe I should not have lied about having ADHD to get in. Oh well. They pay me 3000/mo now for service connected disability. I did call a lot of attention to myself while I was in.
I take responsibility for my actions. We were returning home from 111 days at sea after being on sustained bombing operations. He was under stress and probably had some unresolved anger issues.
Because I didn't press charges I was able to get accepted for corpsman school and get out of a bad situation.
Question Jocko how would you handle a manager that ignores your advice and screw things up, but never takes responsibility for it?
The manager may not being the one screwing up. Look at yourself, your own behaviors and treat yourself with RESPECT. Because when you do that you will treat yourself with RESPECT and GIVE RESPECT to others!
@@jenniferdana5665 even project that i had no hand in seems to come up botched. i make mistakes just as well as the next person, but i don't deny them and i fix the issues i have caused.

@@jenniferdana5665 Sure...
Nice FANTASY.
But when dealing with Narcopaths...
There NEVER Will BE Respect.
I work in a cannabis cultivation and I see people (my bosses especially) breaking rules all the time. But there excuse is that who cares this is federally illegal anyways; which is hard to argue against. I’m not sure if my owner really cares enough or would they just fire me after ratting people out. Weird spot because I’m a “supervisor”.
Don't just think about the "letter of the law". Sometimes it's impossible to follow exactly what the law says. If you are following the intent, then close enough in my opinion. If you are allowing unethical things, or unsafe things to happen then you need to stop it.
Jocko great job man plz try to get rudy reyes on brother
Why did the chicken cross the road? DON'T PISS IN MY SINK.
So next TIME I will bring a x and then WAR party we will seld it our way
Of course the Commodore laughed.
You going into a war and the only thing missing is a printer... lol...
Just imagine the situation.... lol
*DON'T PISS IN MY SINK* lmao
What if the only person thats getting affected by my bosses actions is me. I was essentially blamed for something that they failed to do, and it cost me my position. But do i take action or should i leave it because the only person who got affected by it was me.
Call Them Out &Slap Them Across The Face in Front of EVERYBODY :)
Don't piss in my sink!
Hey, I pee in the shower because then you turn on the water and wash it down.
It’s just It’s a CONTINGENCY plan- totally strategic!
Ever piss in the sunlight? Micro spray goes EVERYwhere. I still piss standing up, but I can see the issue.
Pissing on your feet in WW1 got rid of fungus.
Is that a gunshot wound in Echo's biceps?
I guarantee that officer that peed in the sink was from Texas A&M, it is common practice in the Corps of Cadets
I'd guess he was Filipino. I was just as confused when they only had a squat toilet.
I piss in my own shower all the time, but never in public showers
Nuremberg trial ftw
So how exactly did we get from dealing with bosses to pissing in Jockos's sink?
its the exact same thing. ppl ruining your work environment is like getting your sink pissed in.
Develop a reputation for suggesting going to the boss. Then everyone will think you always will and are willing to submit to authority or the right thing to do.

Pissing in the shower is okay if you are alone and the one cleaning it
Listening to that as a woman...how can this even be a conversation? :'D
What do you mean
Don't you worry your pretty little head about it.
That is a fascinating cultural difference lol
My rule is if I'm actually washing in the shower I might piss if I need to go. If it's not running, I'd rather go outside and piss on a tree or fence than another person have to stand in a puddle of my piss to turn the shower on.
Can't say I have ever pissed in a sink. If I saw that I'd probably laugh, but it is pretty grotty.
Why would anyone piss in the shower and not run the water lol?
Tattling is right on. If one of my kids tattled to me I’d tell them I’m the parent and I was ignoring that. Go off and be a kid. Because that’s exactly what I was doing, and I’m not going to put up with a kid trying to decide my priorities.
That's a bit much. Telling the truth is a good thing. It's your responsibility to teach them when it is important to "tattle". Kids telling you your priorities is a bit egotistical lol.
You're a very egotistical person obviously.
Or you tell your leader what their doing is wrong and a major break in protocol, you do what they tell you to do anyway. Then you go over their head and report them for breaking protocol and you end up getting written up, no raise at your review, and all the while that leader sits back and laughs because he broke protocol and still got his raise.
Ironically peeing in the shower is actually beneficial as it prevents foot fungus.
That's what happened in Vietnam
A solid 6.5 minutes of pissing ethics lmao

So if there is a mass gun confiscation during the martial law that is coming, should the soldiers follow orders?
@Eternal Guard of Christ well that's disheartening
No because it goes against the highest law.
@@OrDuneStudios but how would you respond? Just by now following that order? Tell those under you to not follow the order? Or do something more drastic?
And if you are in the guard and see local law enforcement doing unconstitutional things how should you respond? I'm thinking of New Orleans during the hurricane.

Echo Charles pisses in the showers 100%, and sometimes the sink.
Now I gotta pee...
Nobody noticed the guy was pissing in the shower until he made it all the way to OCC?
nobody did anything about it. cuz conversations be hard.
you think this is bad? I had someone try to debate with me the ethics of going after terrorists - at army open house. He was an officer. He didn't seem happy when I challenged his logic. I had not spent enough time fully appreciating the nuance of the fallacies before answering. At first I thought: he's just testing - nope. That moment when you wish they were just a manipulative dumbass, but they're legit and that is much, much worse (in this scenario, not in normal scenarios, in normal scenarios I like straight up ppl). LOL.
@@andrabook8758 One of the most difficult things in life is to understand that sometimes are wrong when you were sure that you were right. It makes life alot easer if you come at a conversation from the direction of: tell me more about that, or can you explain why you think x,or y. Quite often each person just knows different facts that relate to the topic. Start from a place of respect, and more forward.
@@machinesandthings7121 your last sentence is not complete. did you have more facts you wanted to add?
@@machinesandthings7121 some times, for some circumstances, the approach you described is a very bad approach.
Take charge and if you got some one BETTER let them lead BUT. Easy don't do meth and don't spit SHIT out THE mouth
UH? Echo from Hawaii?
What if?

We had a guy shave his genitalia in the sink during basic, he got recycled.
did you use a recyclable bag to take his remains out to the curb afterwards? :P
You are Saying
1) That you are to insult your Boss by telling him ,"Listen Boss if you do anything Illegal/Immoral I will not cover up for you
2) You are to tell your Boss if you do anything Illegal/Immoral you should hide it from me
What is wrong with this is that if you are a Public servant, you are not your Bosses Servant.
i.e. If you are a Soldier you are a servant of your country , not of your Boss.
Thomas
Hes not insulting him hes letting him know that the shit doesnt fly around me. Hes not telling him not to do it around you but not to do it in general. (This of course is before anything happens) kinda weird to bring it out of the blue but perhaps during briefings etc.
