*Thanks.. Welcome!
I used to be 19... it was 1971 and my year to war.
Judge the words of a "graybeard"..
*Behind all technical methods of leadership there is always one
implicit purpose, that of developing Morale. *more-al
For High "morale"... is the index of effective leadership.
No success is possible without it.
No failure is final unless it destroys morale, since "Morale"
is the emotional force that gives "drive" to group action.
"Morale" is based on the belief of the leader- in the follower...
in the follower- of the leader... of each in themselves, that with God's help..
we will do our best for the common cause.
Don't be confused with the "word" perfect outpost...
*If the goal in a war is Victory... let it be "perfect victory"
*If the goal is brotherly love-..... let it be "perfect love"
*Vision in a leader... cut's through what is- to see what "could be"...
So... what do you want for your boys?
It's not important for me to know "what is" or what defilement we must
triumph... My God is "more than enough.. and we are more than Conquers
through Christ" *The blood of Christ covers it and was spilled for your boys
and mine..
Sin is a blindness that keeps us in the dark... Jesus came to bring light and
liberate the captive caught in the bondage of sin.. and through him we are
"perfected"
*If I claim my noisey-wild-bunch of knotheads..with all the bumps and bondage
they
bring... sloppy uniforms, bad attitudes... and call them "Perfect"
How far off the mark am I?
Further... We have ONE Outpost!<G>
My Outpost is YOUR outpost!
One program..
One Ministry...
One Master Ranger..
One brotherhood...
*Your boys are MY concern..
