This month's program will be presented by Sergeant First Beau Detrick
November Company Team Leader. His presentation will be 'Lessons from an Army LEADER' and will cover the following topics in a dynamic and informative way - very Beau!

  • No. 1. Yelling doesn't make you skinny. PT does.
  • No. 2. Think about what you're going to say before you say it.
  • No. 3. If you find yourself having to remind everyone all of the time that you're the sergeant major and you're in charge, you're probably not.
  • No. 4.You have to work very hard at being more informed and less emotional.
  • No. 5.If you can't have fun every day, then you need to go home.
  • No. 6. Don't be the feared leader. It doesn't work.?
  • No. 7. Don't do anything — and I mean anything — negative over email.
  • No. 8. It's OK to be nervous. All of us are.
  • No. 9. If your own justification for being an expert in everything you do is your 28 years of military experience, then it's time to fill out your 4187 [form requesting personnel action] and end your military experience.
  • No. 10. Never forget that you're just a soldier.

Also included during the luncheon will be demonstrations by Guard members and combat simulations.

This month's lunch will be provided by Jellen Enterprises: Roasted Beef, Mashed Potatoes, Sweet Corn, Apple dessert
