Heroes

[…]soldiers and they will take care of you. Talk to them. Show interest in them. Take notes if you need to, but get to know your people personally. Soldiers don’t want you as a friend; they want you to be their leader. Train hard. Lives may depend on how hard you train your soldiers. Do a drill one extra time rather than one less time. Get to know your senior NCOs. These guys have seen and done it all–twice. Expect the best from them. Learn to work closely with them. Show yours soldiers you will do everything you ask them […]

How Should a Christian Live?

by COL Mike Tesdahl, USA (Ret.) This recent discussion, which took place online between a West Point Cadet and COL Mike Tesdahl, provides food for thought for young Christians as well as for those who are trying to be a resource. Letter From a Cadet (via email) To whom this may concern (I think it may be someone called Papa T?): I’m not really sure why I am writing this. Actually, as I write I am scratching my head wondering what I am doing, but I feel strangely led to do it, so here I am. I grew up in […]

Two Greedy Institutions

[…]COL Al Shine, USA, Ret & COL Don Snider, USA, Ret. It was Thursday of a very intense and exciting week at White Sulphur Springs where we had been focusing on the role of the Christian officer (or officer-Christian) in his or her profession. Through Paul’s letter to the believers at Colossae, God challenges us that “just as we received Christ Jesus as Lord,” we are called to “continue to live in him.” This means that if we are military officers, we are to continue to live in Christ in the role of military officer. But we also have other […]

Leadership by Example

[…]be, and from that character what they must be able to do, to be successful in combat, to meet the officers’ obligations as warriors, as servants, as professionals and as leaders of character. Let me explain. In a few minutes, by swearing to the oath of office, you will assume the awesome responsibilities of your formal commission. The oath itself is simple and deliberately unconditional, a whole of five parts. In sequence you will swear: To support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. To bear truth, faith and allegiance to the same. […]

Leadership Q&A

by COL Doug Mastriano, USA Q: How do you strike a balance between being both an effective military officer and a bold witness for Christ?  A: The idea of balance between being an officer and a Christian hints at a bifurcation between the two. I do not believe that we should separate these. The Bible says to do all things as unto the Lord (Colossians 3:17). This means that your work as a military officer should be an extension of your faith. The output of your duties, as such, should be the best possible. The quality of your work and […]

What Works for New Officers?

by LTC J. Randy Carey, USA (Ret.) > PDF format 1. Seek FELLOWSHIP with other Christians. Without fellowship you become a lone ranger and are in danger of becoming extinct. Your light will go out. Seek a local OCF representative. (See your chaplain’s bulletin board.) TIP: Before you head to your first assignment, call OCF at 1-800-424-1984 so you can contact an officer who is an OCF member where you are going. 2. Do not forsake ACCOUNTABILITY. You are known by the company you keep. Find a brother or sister in Christ and keep each other walking the talk. Go […]
