Nobody really cares about your growth. They only care about what you can do for them. One of the worst places to find yourself is in a position where your growth threatens their comfortability.

Be cautious as not all those that want to “mentor” you have good intentions (be aware if it’s only to female marines and they get angry when you have other mentors)

Make sure you are in shape. You're literally going to be running everywhere. Be able to run a 5 miler like its a Sunday stroll.

Don’t be so into your work that at the end of your career you say to your family “ here I am!” and they say ‘who are you?’

I miss the camaraderie of my fellow soldiers. I also miss wearing the uniform, and the discipline. do not miss most of the "mentors" . all they seemed to care about was advancing their career.
