I’m not a commander, but I do command my organization’s communication. You want to be a staff guy? Walk around saying things like this:
Living the Dream, Sir!
How many days until Friday?
Still getting paid…
Another day, another (insert sarcastic dollar value).
It’s your goat, I’m just holding the tail.
Hump day! Know what I’m saying?
Just another day.
Same old.
Hey, I get paid either way.

Note: We are not prone to advocate for false motivation (HOOAH!) or mandated catchphrases (Lead the Way!) but we recognize these are the result of a unit’s widespread inability to interact positively and productively.
Every word you share is an opportunity to inspire and motivate the members of your organization. Make the words that come out of your mouth mean something.
