Metaphor
In the Army as leaders, we focus on grooming new soldiers and leaders. Soldiers that have come straight from his or her advance individual training, which is after basic training, to a unit with no information in their brain or data about the ways of a military life. Just like a hard drive, these new soldiers have no fragment files or corrupted files.
This is an opportunity that all leaders must grab the bull by the horns; to let this opportunity to slip by will only do injustice to the young soldier. Just as the young Jedi Luke (star wars) or Kane (Kung-Fu), who seeks a master to learn the ways of the universe, and the meaning of life? This is our chance to format the hard drive. These are new, undeveloped soldiers with unlimited potential beyond their imagination. I encouraged all leaders to harness these young soldiers and mold them to what a non commissioned officer ought to be. To groom them, so they are polished in the traditions and customs of the military. Teach them to be proud and instill the Army values in his or her daily lives.
This is an opportunity that is not afforded to everyone, to have the chance to grow his or her own new leaders within the ranks, is a huge responsibility. Once this process begins, these mentors are held accounted for, their growth, whether it is an impediment or accelerated pace through the organization.
