Attention to Detail

When I heard about the group of soldiers from the 507th Maintenance Company from Ft. Bliss who were captured after they got lost, I said to my wife "Now you know why I hate being lost." One of the things I really worked on when I was an Army officer was land navigation. At the time I guess I thought it was because I didn't want to let my men down (or make fun of me), but maybe I was able anticipate how important it could be to not take a wrong turn. I still tend to lose my temper quickly if I think I am in the process of getting lost, which I guess I should get over.
