A few of the E-8’s (aka Master Sergeants) have two or three rules listed on plaques on their desks. One of my older, Master Sergeant (SGM) leaders has two specific rules.

The reason for this article is simply for men and women to feel understood when it comes to their emotions and WHY people exercise.
