Be all that you can be! An Army of One!! We do more before 9am than most people do all day.
I think my unit didn't see these commercials. While medical units are not highly touted for the usual gungho bravado of the "regular army," my unit seems to be plodding its way through knee deep mud on a daily basis. For someone who is used to either running his team or his clinic this has been very frustrating. I've resolved this with a simple 30 to 3 rule. If I get 30min of training completed while only waiting around for 3hrs, I consider it a success and go about standing in the next line....

We have the same rule of three here. If someone says "we have to do this!" three times on three seperate occasions we take them seriously. You have to understand that we hear that phrase twenty times a day where most of the "have to do this" ideas are never heard of again.
Good to see the Army runs on the same principal.
Don't they give you guys guns? Can't you use those as a "motivational tool?" You know, a little spray on the ground to make people dance. Or, you could try the classic Massachusetts style of getting people to hustle - I learned this on the "Pike." Just ride up real close behind them and make 'em think you might drive right through them. Not that I actually employ this method, but I've seen it work a thousand times - the guy in front either moves over or speeds up eventually.
I'm sure this could be used without cars as well... Say, perhaps, you're standing in line waiting to fill out some paperwork... Just creep up real close behind the guy in front of you and start mouth-breathing. When he turns around to glare at you, look slightly past him, staring, say, at his left ear. This oughta creep him out enough to make him decide to let you go in front of him. Voila! One down, fifty more ahead of you to go. Eventually, people will catch on and just start moving out of the way when they see you coming.
