As the saying goes, the rifle team leader is the hardest working person in the Army.
It’s a nod to the fact that the rifle team leader is always moving, never satisfied.
The rifle team leader is a fighting leader.
The rifle team leader does.
This isn’t to take away from other levels of leadership, it’s just a fact.
It is where the rubber meets the road.
There is something to be said for the E-5 work ethic. It’s powerful. And it’s not something that should be discarded when you make rank and move into managing personnel or teams.
Don’t get lazy.
Even if you were never enlisted, it is something to aspire to.
Get up and move. Fight your war.
Put in the work.
