Responsible.
“It’s like the way a baby grows. It’s a child, then a teenager, then a man. It all comes with responsibility. You’ve got to prove yourself every step of the way. That’s the way the Army is. They’ll give you a piece of equipment, train you, and say, ‘You are responsible’. If you’re good and you knpw ypur job, you’ll move up and get more. Right now I’m a senior gunner in a Chaparral Missile section. And every guy on this section is responsible for the other guy. That can make you an adult quickly. Responsibility feels like – it feels like strength.” SGT Calvin Farrell, Schwabach, Germany
