If you eat up your leaders’ bandwidth pointing out you don’t have enough people on your team, you may just be demonstrating you don’t have enough work.
If you’re demanding new equipment, you may be pointing out how the organization is doing just fine without any Public Affairs photos or videos.
If you insist on more access to the commander’s engagements, folks might realize you’re not manning the JOC or showing up for PT.
Show up, get your house in order and demonstrate results before you start negotiating.
Dispense with the “If Onlys” and find something you can ship.
