Good read.

Another good Sunday read...

The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Senior Airman Goodie J. Goodman, United States Air Force, for gallantry in connection with military operations against an enemy of the United States while serving with the 21st Expeditionary Special Tactics Squadron in Helmand Province, Afghanistan from 27 to 29 September 2014. On these days, while attached to a U.S. Special Forces team, Airman Goodman displayed extraordinary bravery and complete disregard for his own life as he and his teammates assaulted an insurgent safe haven. Throughout the first day of the operation, coalition forces came under heavy fire from an overwhelming force in which he directly engaged the enemy while coordinating with other combat controllers for close air support from F-16s and AH-64s. While enemy machine gun fire impacted a wall within six inches of his head, he held his rooftop position in order to repel the overwhelming insurgent force. Airman Goodman and the team heroically repelled the assault after fierce fighting within 40 meters of his position, but soon after, a massive barrage of heavy machine gun, rocket propelled gr***de, and sniper fire erupted from six enemy locations. With friendly forces taking fire from within 200 meters, he immediately directed AH-64 attack helicopters in multiple strikes on the closest threats while simultaneously coordinating and deconflicting danger close mortar fire on another maneuvering enemy 300 meters away. He maintained a steady flow of fires through a choreographed alternation of aerial strikes and mortar fire, subduing the enemy attack for hours. At one point, Goodman drew the enemy out by instructing the loud, low-flying AC-130 to remain outside of audible range. When the enemy initiated a massive attack, Goodman controlled both aerial fires from the AC-130 and mortar fires from friendly ground forces until they retreated. After 48 hours of intense combat, Airman Goodman controlled 28 attack helicopters and 20 fixed wing assets for a total of 26 engagements; six at danger close range, 45 times with mortars, resulting in seven enemies killed. He also removed their ability to maneuver and fight by destroying five buildings, 14 vehicles, and nine fighting positions. Without a doubt, Airman Goodman's actions saved the lives of coalition soldiers on the ground by combining air and ground fires to repel multiple enemy attempts to overrun and capture friendly positions. By his heroic actions and unselfish dedication to duty, Airman Goodman has reflected great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force.

Quality is better than quantity.

A small number of people, carefully selected, well trained, and well led, are preferable to larger numbers of troops, some of whom may not be up to the task.

Do you have “IT”

"How you do anything is how you do everything."
We had the whole team hanging from the bar until one by one they fell. Once you fall you must watch as your teammates still hang from the bar. This shows us as instructors multiple things about a person. Since everyone knows the standards of indoc before they arrive, everyone SHOULD be somewhat close in thier strength.
Some people dropped before 1 minute due to the discomfort, others made it to 2 minutes and felt satisfied that they had at least beat out most of the team. Then there were 1 or 2 who would have stayed up there all day. Those guys graduated INDOC.
Competition is inherent in a group of people who want to be special operators. These men didn't stay on the bar simply because they were physically stronger than the rest of the team. They stayed on the bar because they had trained their body to do what their mind told it, and not the other way around.
How you do anything is how you do everything. Don't wait til 6 months from your ship date to start training, it should be a way of life for you. If you want to be successful at indoc, the formula is simple. Be prepared, be passionate, and do everything with purpose.
