Adam successfully commanded his first mission. For the most part, he said, he was calm and easygoing. There were times when he had to get tough to get some guys in line, but he said no one complained about his performance as a leader. Responsibilities such as this will prepare him to cover for Nate as squad leader when Nate goes on leave. Adam enjoyed leading the mission but said it put more pressure and stress on him because any problem was on him to fix.
I am proud of him for doing this because I know of his capabilities as a leader. At 27 -- 28 in two weeks! -- he has been in the military for 10 years. Oddly, this is his first deployment, and I'm not sure how he got away with not deploying for so long. But for a relatively young person, he has had a lot of training, so I'm glad he is getting to challenge himself and put his skills to good use.
Good job, baby! :)
