There is no disproving of superstition! But personally, I earned the GMA,
in all 3 areas and one of the first silver buffalos; not because my dad was
my commander, he never was, but because advancement can be its own
incentive. As a boy, I could out perform and out ranger any leader. To be
close to Johnnie and the seats of the administration were incentive enough.
My dad never pushed, but only facilitated when I asked for help. Him being
a staff member mearly opened doors; it was up to me to step through them and
march forward. I believe most children do what they do in defiance of
parental direction. I rather doubt my son will earn his GMA because I tell
him to; he has all the choice, to progress at his own pace and direction.
