Alligator Marines: NCO of the year: Embrace adversity and enjoy the process

Blogging from the military

Today, according to Travis J. Tritten, there are 2,018 military blogs from 37 countries registered on Milblogging.com, a site that tracks the military blogosphere.

How many bloggers are there from World II, from Iwo Jima, from the first wave on Iwo Jima? I think I'm it. If there are more, please let me know, i want the company.

We can learn a lot from our boys in other countries, in the service, protecting our way of life. We can learn a lot from those who have gone before. I will be passing along what the boys are doing now, how our great country supports them, and I will be passing along what we already learned. We each have a story to tell, and its best not to have learn the same thing over again. There are two types of Marines, the ones who learn from other's mistakes and then there's rest of us.

NCO of the year: Embrace adversity and enjoy the process

Born in the communist block, Krzywonos is now the Non-commissioned Officer of the Year . Kudos to this Marine.

DVIDS - News - NCO of the year: Embrace adversity and enjoy the process: "“Above all else, winning is a state of mind,” said Sgt. Dariuz Krzywonos, field artillery surveyor/meteorological crewmember, 2nd Battalion, 12th Field Artillery Regiment. “To be successful, I know I must maintain a positive attitude and steady determination. But what has served me best, is that I have learned to embrace adversity and enjoy the process.”

After outshining seven other competitors to win top honors at the I Corps Non-commissioned Officer of the Year Competition, Krzywonos will move on to the Forces Command NCO Best Warrior Competition at Fort Bragg, N.C., in July"
