here’s one what made you realize one of your guys was really good to go or was not up the standard not necessarily big things but micro actions or decisions that set something off in your mind well i had a lot of guys work under me over the years and i mean i really think that you know all my brothers and the teams every one of them is good to go even the guys i didn’t get along with i’d still give my wife for him in a second doesn’t matter but uh one thing that sticks out to me was biggles but it was ryan job because you know i i don’t i guess i could have been more like nice or whatever but i’m like man you look like you’re [ __ ] fat you better get in [ __ ] shape but i’m gonna i’m gonna [ __ ] kill you i’m not gonna like rate you up i don’t even know how to do that i’m gonna i’m gonna just physically kill you and man you know i didn’t even know if he was in good shape or not because some people you can’t tell yeah they’re like look at that guy and then he just knocks [ __ ] out yeah people that iron marshmallow yeah and man that kid did i mean he really really did and like all of a sudden i’m like chum well i didn’t say that i was like hmm i you know so that was like yeah that was like my praise like yeah yeah whatever you can i praise from okay on the next one on the next thing yeah yeah but i mean that was really good you know i remember one of my guys uh lost a piece of equipment one time and you know i was kind of upset with him but it just made me realize that you know if we’re making a mistake maybe it’s not this guy’s fault maybe it’s my fault maybe it’s everyone’s fault as a as a team because at the end of the day it’s all of us so maybe we want to take a day or two off you know and that kind of helped and you know we handled it but i mean another one of my guys he uh it was christmas and he left left a piece of equipment open or he didn’t lock something and i mean it wasn’t a big deal i could have corrected it right there but the guys are just taking off on christmas leave and i was had nowhere to go so i was drinking beers in the team area so i just walked around checking [ __ ] out and sure enough so i called the guy and he was like three or four hundred miles into his drive to a western state for christmas i’m like he goes oh i’m sorry i’m like yeah no problem man all right so turn around now and i’ll be waiting for you his dead silence on the phone he’s like what yeah yeah so he drove all the way back and i was standing there it’s like four in the morning now and i was like it was pretty liquored up by then and just fuming but he’s like hey i’m sorry you learn a lesson yep okay have a good leave and i’m sure i’m positive you never did that again that’ll do it you know yeah it’s kind of a dink move i guess but you know i figured it was the thing to do he who suffers remembers yeah yeah it’s uh it’s the the the single teams when you’re when you’re just working with guys all the time you definitely start to pick up things you can indicate okay yeah this guy’s this guy’s stepping up you know that’s what i always noticed when when things are going sideways like in a training operation and you see a guy that’s starting to step up you know that was always a good sign absolutely you know absolutely like he’s gonna he’s gonna handle something it’s like that’s when you train decentralized commands that’s where you gotta let guys make mistakes and screw things up because you know the less you you know the more you sweat and training unless you bleed more no doubt about that one
