FOLLOWING THROUGH

I change my mind way to much. I have figured out one thing about myself and that is that I dont think I ever follow through with stuff. I mean, I follow through with my work assignments and tasks that other people give me and I work hard to follow through when other peoples careers and goals are on the line, but when it comes to my own personal goals...nope. I always seem to shove it to the side.

For example, every year I create an Officers Package. Brand new, I go through the boards, but I never submit the package to the promotion board. Why is that? I have always wondered about this myself. This year I am submitting for a promotion to become and LDO Officer, and I have a feeling that I will not follow through with it. I really want to do it, I am just worried I guess and always have been. I am great at what I do, but how do I know that I will give the same great work as an Officer. That is what I am worried about.

I know that I will continue to do my best always. I should take that and continue to work my way up the ladder as an Officer in the U.S. Navy. There is no difference in what I do now than what I will be doing as an Officer. Just a lot more pay...and I do mean a lot more pay. I owe it to myself and my family to go through with this and see it through to the end. So I am and I will make LDO and become the first ever to make VADM.
