Always carry a knife
Always say what you mean
Be loyal, but not to a fault
Be straightforward
Be willing to try new things (foods, ideas, technology, locations, etc)
Do not be unreachable
Do not drop hints
Do not have to be told more than once
Don’t bring problems, bring solutions
Earn Everything
Everything that happens to me – good and bad – is my personal responsibility. I blame no one but myself. These are the choices I’ve made. I will accept the consequences of my actions.
Have a firm handshake
Have an opinion about everything, though you don’t always need to share it.
Help others that are willing to help themselves
I deserve nothing
If there is a problem, deal with it, or help deal with it, don’t just sit and gripe
If you can help or inspire another kid, person, do it
If you know how to do something, teach someone else
In the woods, leave no trace
Know how to cook at least 1 thing
Know how to fish
Know how to shoot
Know how to skin and clean an animal
Read anything and everything
Respect your parents, grandparents
Sing, Enjoy music of all kinds
Spend time with your family
Take care of business
Take care of your kids
Take care of your wife/girlfriend
Volunteer to help (coach, fundraise, etc)
Work hard
A few of these are borrowed from other sources, NCIS, and another website, which I should credit, but cannot remember.
