Benny and Ralph talk about a wide range of topics. This is a long talk about accountability and training. Before we begin lets remember. This is solely the opinion of to SNCO. It is nothing more nothing less. We are not speaking on behalf of anyone but ourselves. These are are opinions and ours alone. We discuss a lot of different things going on across MCRC. This is not one specific RS it is many. If you find yourself thinking oh that's me... well maybe the shoe fits. We discuss "Station Commander VS. SNCOIC". We discuss the serious lack of accountability and training. We dive into Positive Mental Attitude. This is a great episode full of discussion and growth. Please enjoy it and spread it. If you have anything to add reach out. These are discussions that need to be had it will help create growth amongst the Recruiting Force. We also discuss weak NCOs and weak SNCOs. Do you have a backbone? Are you holding yourself accountability? Are you holding your team? Your SNCOICS/Commanders accountability? What does that look like? --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/sempersometimes/support
Episode #17, I spoke to SMSgt Mark Castleberry, Fairchild's Top 3 President of 2021. Mark and I were not too familiar with one another when he agreed to be on this podcast. I have only heard great things about him from other SNCOs and leaders around the base. I first met Mark at a Top 3 meeting and it was memorable because he was able to call just about everybody in that room by their first name, to include my own. Learning someone's name is one of the most fundamental things you can do when trying to gain influence and I had to ask Mark about the effort and deliberateness he makes on learning names. We talk about why connecting people is important to him and I ask questions to share insight on what it would be like for anyone who is interested in running for a private organization council position.
This is part 1 of a 5-part mini series about my personal leadership philosophies and traits. I was lucky enough to hang out and chat with some SNCOs and NCOs from around Fairchild I feel emulate these different traits. We start with SMSgt Adam Watson and humor.
My guest today on Have a Tisue Podcast is Gene Tschida. Gene is a recent SMSgt select for EOD and within weeks of going home to see his family for the first time in almost a year. He is also one of my favorite people at Kunsan. We have many similar interests in life, sports, and recreational activities. We both find enjoyment through leadership books and discussions. This similar passion is what led our paths to cross through a mutual friend, Derek Pace. Gene established a unique leadership discussion forum here at Kunsan air base called Air Power Leadership Academy. For 10 weeks NCOs and SNCOs meet to discuss fundamental topics to share experiences and develop leadership skills. I was fortunate enough to sit in on the first course and Gene gave me the opportunity to be the director for the second course as he heads to Langley AFB. We share whiskey during our conversation. One bottle I gifted to him for making Senior and another bottle a friend of mine brought back to me from his trip to Japan. About 80 minutes into our conversation, I assumed we had both said everything we wanted to say. In this moment, Gene reminds me why I am fond of this podcast platform. I start moving towards wrapping things up and he stops me--offering more. The next 60 minutes, Gene shares some of his private stories that he wouldn't tell most people within the first few months of knowing them. Even I was unaware of the experiences Gene endured during his deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan. Gene shares stories about his worst days on the job. He shares an experience that most of us will fortunately never have to experience for ourselves. I hope you enjoy Have a Tisue Podcast, episode #2, blowing things up with Gene.
Episode 28 brings us to SSgt Antuan Martin. We first met in Hawaii when I was visiting as an evaluator for a 3d Radio Bn field exercise in 2017. He was a Sgt at the time, and an adage I learned from the dog men I grew up around fit perfectly. "There were some big paws on that pup." Since that initial encounter, we've stayed in contact. It was immediately apparent during subsequent conversations that he had been heavily influenced by quite a few of my peers who I have been close with over the years. We cover a spectrum of topics spanning strength training, jiu-jitsu, learning styles, audio production, and even video games in our conversation. Themes that emerged in the discussion include our distinct takes on the individual Marine's value to the institution and the dynamic nature of camaraderie through the Corps. Much like many of the young professionals who fill out our middle ranks, SSgt Martin demonstrates a thirst for a greater challenge that influenced his decision to go deeper than he would have otherwise. His perspective on the value of initiative is a tacit reminder of the importance for senior leaders to cultivate an environment whereby their subordinates are permitted to "dare greatly" without fear. SSgt Martin provides an intimate look into his childhood being raised by a single mother. He goes on to illustrate how key SNCOs, ostensibly serving as paternal surrogates, directly invested time and energy towards his personal and professional growth. I genuinely enjoyed this interview with such an intelligent and insightful young leader. I look forward to following his career, as I am absolutely certain of his status as an emerging titan. As I write this, I am reminded of another axiom from my hometown: "Game recognizes game."

Round 2: Master Sergeant Matthew Williams, an active-duty Green Beret, received the Medal of Honor on Wednesday for actions during a 2008 Special Forces raid in Afghanistan that resulted in a 7 hour firefight. The story is incredible, you have to hear it.Round 3: The Air Force isnt doing themselves any favors by introducing a new ‘R' device on their awards. We'll breakdown what that means and if it was a good ideaRound 4: The Marine Corps is overhauling their promotion requirements. Salty Lance Corporals will love it. Fast tracking boot ass SNCOs will hate it. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle. Round 5: Interview with Guy Snodgrass, Secretary Mattis' speech writer who wrote a book about the behind the scenes action. The book is making waves so we invited Guy on to spill.the.tea.

The Principles of War - Lessons from Military History on Strategy, Tactics and Leadership.
Dave Sabben describes his experience when he joins D Coy, 6 RAR. Dave makes an important point, many of the officers and SNCOs were newly promoted into their roles, a function of the rapid expansion of the Army. Fifty percent of the diggers in Delta were National Servicemen. In March 1966, 6 RAR is notified that they will be going to Vietnam. Delta left in early July, The first birthday of 6 RAR was the 6th of June in 1966 and celebrated it's first birthday on the beach of Vung Tau. Dave and the rest of Delta Coy joined the battalion on the next day. Training was conducted in air mobile operations and weapons training intensified. Second hand Armalites were issued to replace the Owen guns. The Owen gun was designed in 1939, The building of the base at Nui Dat was commenced by 5 RAR in May. 6 RAR was deployed quickly to the base after intelligence suggested that an attack was being planned for the poorly defended base at Nui Dat. We look at the creation of 1 Australian Task Force and look at the reasons behind it's placement in Phuoc Tuy Province. The name Nui Dat, comes from the name of one of the terrain features, meaning small hill. We discuss the importance of the Vung Tau.

We discuss the Developmental Special Duty (DSD) program and what Amn, NCOs, and SNCOs need to know to get started.
Episode 12 of Top Game brings us to 1st Radio Battalion's Operations Chief, Master Guns Scott Daubert. A dedicated teacher and mentor, he highlights several key takeaways critical to his success, particularly getting the buy in of your fellow SNCOs. He discusses his broken service time and the influence toxic leadership had upon him early on in his career. During the discussion, we cover the importance of mentoring "junior SNCOs," the learning styles of our youngest Marines, and the need to understand the impact family readiness has on a Marine's performance.
Episode 10 brings one of the hardest working SNCOs in our OccFld into the spotlight and outside of his comfort zone. A former grunt and lat mover, Top Jerome's dedication and perseverance have enabled him to play "catch up" in such a challenging and technical field. From his studies as a heritage language student at DLI to his multiple deployments as a SNCOIC, he touches on some of his formative experiences, as well as his earnest effort to "measure up" to some key mentors in the field. Later in our conversation, we discuss the weak link in the force structure, the importance of bridging the gap with junior Marines, and the SNCOs role in the development of junior officers.
