Promotion vs Job done
Promotion vs Job done
Case in point in reality, since I was there.... Wait I have to first say, “Retiring as a Gunnery Sergeant, with all, or most of your body parts is a good deal.” (For those that don’t know the “Gunny” is a stripe less then a Master Sergeant). A man called “Gunny Hathcock”:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Hathcock
Was the key to the creation of the modern USMC Scout/Sniper School training program. ( I was in Class #1 tactical Instructor school). He didn’t even get to finish his 20 years for medical reasons (Oh, by the way, the pic that is by my name is the modified M2, 50 .cal that Carlos made is record distance kill with).
The word Sergeant possibly Latin derived from “servien” or french "serjent" which means “to serve”, is the exact same meaning of the Japanese word, “Samurai” (pronounced, sa-mu-ra-i 4 syllables not 3).
Back to being a “Top Sergeant”.
Every one, let me repeat, !!EVERYONE!! That uses the “Community Forums” knows (or will learn) Pharaoh is the working core and just about the final decision of anything on the “Community Forums”. He is the guy that gives you the size 10 shoe in the rear end to get you going to look at the other work that is done on this Forex Peace Army (FPA) board and the 4X community. You can interact and get the confidence you need to open your 1st demo or what ever.
You have to have the boots on the ground guy to meet the Newbie’s when they get off the bus.
It’s called “displacement” contrary to popular belief hot air does not rise. It is displaced by the colder heavier air that push it up. Pharaoh is the heavy stable thing that allows the other ranks to be the hot air above him. Who will take his place, and perhaps he likes it where he is.
He is deserving everything RhamanSL says and more, but when your young and think that moving up is the only way to think. You are correct when you are young. You don’t realize that when you finally find a “GOOD” comfortable place to be, live, and work, your happy. It’ not about titles or promotions. It’s about being happy where, with, and what you have in life. If anyone can displace the Pharaoh and take his job, tell him. Don’t fix it if it ain’t broke. Thank you RhamanSL for your push for Pharaoh's additional (what is it 6 or 7 now) “Beyond the Call of Duty” service medal.
Now you newbie’s are supposed to get you rear end in gear and climb the ladder.
Nuff said
