1. Always, always put purpose before ego.2. Anything you sign, keep a copy.
3. If you sent an email to a disagreeable person, keep a copy.
4. If someone stoops low, suck it up and be the bigger person.
5. Take the time to build relationships, not throw your collar devices around.
6. Be part of your unit's ops/intel team...don't hide out.
7. Present yourself as a problem solver for your operational commander.
8. Don't cause headaches because your "non-tactical vehicle" might be below your standard. Walk or hop the bus.
9. Keep lots of command coins on-hand.
10. Let your command and your friends know you're alive at least once a month.
11. Did I mention, "DON'T BE A WHINER?"
12. Care more about saving lives than bragging about how many vehicles you have...you don't really "own" them.
13. Your family back home has it tougher than you.
14. Don't forget the mission.
SEMPER FORTIS,
BEAR

It has been a privilege to serve with you! You are the finest example of what Navy men can accomplish in situations were we are most out of our element. You have… since day one been a “Shipmate” or as the Army called it, “battle buddy”. You have also been a true friend, confidant and most of all; loyal to what it is we do here. I will, at a moments notice serve with you, anytime anywhere. It would be my honor, for you my friend. If you need me, I’ll be there for you. Just ask…”ask the Chief”.
