    One of the things I carried over from my Army days to civilian life and something I still do is check my clothes when dressing up.I'll check for loose hanging threads that will hang on new garments and snip them of with scissors.This was what we used to call 'gigs' during inspections when I was in the Army.Also keeping my clothes neat in my closet is another thing I still do after 50+ years.Old habits die hard!

    The proudest of my days is when I was a Doc for my Marines. Next month one of my old units is having a reunion, some of us have known each other for 30 yrs. I even have a Marine General who I served with when he was a Capt that I call a friend. When I go to the VA hospital, I notice how Marines recognize each other with a Semper Fi to each other and I dont see that with the other services.

    I went to my nephew's graduation at MCRD and was so proud of him and seeing the other young Marines. Being an Army LTC at the time I had a spirited conversation with a couple of Marine Officers and agreed that the Army's Basic training could take some lessons from Marine Corps boot camp.

    This is one of the best videos I have seen from you so far .
    Perhaps everyone who has served in a branch of military life , going from basic instruction boot camp to an honorable rank with service medals and a huge bag of experience can understand this one .. I served in the French Foreign Legion , ten years in a tough , rigourous and presentable unit of men . Two days after my return to civilian life I found myself in a professional sports team , again wearing uniform , representing the team image and being expected to show strength of character whatever the culture , language or traditions of the country we worked in .. 8 years later I became front of house at a private upmarket country hotel .. once again uniform requirement to perfection , outstanding social skills and presence expected ..
    it is true that most ex service personel carry these qualities with them and don’t even notice the subtle differences between someone who is ex forces and someone who is not ...
    the service never ever leaves you , you leave it ....

    I learned a lot that I use "everyday" by the Swedish Air Force. How to properly clean a room and how to properly make your bed are two things many civilians do not think about being taught by the military, but it is. But I learned so much more, some things with applications in civilian life, some not. But the "mentality training" is universal.

    So I am an executive leader with my company. Your advice is absolutely correct. My success as a leader is directly proportional to the skills of those who work for me. It is my job to make sure that they can all do their jobs as efficiently as possible. I’ve risen up the ranks to reach this position and would not have been able to do so without the relationships I had developed over years valuing and supporting the work of others who in turn valued and supported mine. A true leader is a servant to his team, and his or her success is the team’s success. And mentoring others with the skills one learns creates succession as one is able to delegate to others and take on more responsibility allowing one to rise higher within the enterprise. Spot on advice Sir.

    Antonio, I am the Marine for Life representative in Western NC. I am a former CH-46E pilot who is in the IMA reserves and help transitioning Marines to find jobs when they leave the Marine Corps. At annual training we had 12 tips for transitioning and I actually recommended some from watching your you tube videos. I will post this link on my Linked in site to assist my Marines in preparation for getting out. I was going to write you to request a tip video for transitioning Marines and vets (both Male and Female) but I am glad to see that you produced this one.

    Hey Captain, what you said about character is right on the money. I had a saying I still use today, Mission, Men, Me. Do your mission, take care of your men and worry about yourself last. I've had people that were under me in the military and employees that have worked for me tell me they always could count on me to take care of them. That means more to me that the promotions or the medals. Semper Fi Marine!!

    Late to the party but fallen angels were some of the best officers I ever worked with. One of the best men I’ve ever known was a fallen Harrier pilot who became the S-4 in my battalion. Talk about character building and testing-you go from the literal and figurative pinnacle to being shoehorned into hard-to-fill billets in less desired locations. It’s really tough to maintain a positive attitude and not become jaded or cynical. It’s a credit to Antonio and all the rest who persevere and thrive in those situations. Semper Fi!

    Also, I agree that a man looks great in a (pilot) uniform. The current BA double breasted pilot uniform looks professional (although BA will soon change this uniform using the guy that I believe works in Saville Row).
    I'm only a 16 year old and I have already learnt so much from your videos. I have tried to apply what I have learnt from your videos on my school uniform and it seems to have gone well. I will carry on learning from your videos while you upload more videos in the future.

But truth be said, if you really want to be a Marine, well you have to earn that title. Sadly however, I see a real diminish of pride in one's appearance now days. Compared to back when I was in. We had our share of soup sandwiches...birds that don't fly... but I see a bigger change sadly. Horrible attire and pride out of uniform and in civilian liberty attire. So yeah bring it into your programs because of all you said in this program. Semper Fi Marine.
