How great to have spent two days with a large group of Medical Service Corps officers the past week at Brooke Armey Medical Center (BAMC) and Fort Sam Houston. These men and women in uniform take care of our wounded warriors. These are very special people and they put themselves in harms way to help our soldiers, airmen, and sailors. I was able to work with this group on various leadership points and we finished with a focus on how they might better present themselves to our civilian leaders in health care for leadership potions in the civilian world. These leaders operate in situations that are very similar to our civilian world and there are many examples of many of these leaders making very successful transitions to leadership roles in hospitals and health systems.

I thank and salute these men and women in uniform and greatly respect all that they do to protect our freedom.
