S.E. Conference News

The 2010 Southeast Division Conference is rapidly approaching. I had the opportunity to visit with Cal Walters and he has been busily promoting the Mobile and the activities they have planned. What the Detachment there has done is very impressive. Everyone attending will have a great time. I am recommending that if your spring travel plans include The Southeast Division Conference arrive early.

The Committee has posted all the pertinent information and forms to register. Make your reservations now. Also, check out the ad fees. Please consider purchasing an ad to help support the efforts of the P.L. Wilson Detachment. This is the only means of offsetting the expenses of putting on a conference like this. As the conference location moves around the division we should be doing everything possible to support each other.

We’ve always had busy and enjoyable times in Mobile. I’m looking forward to seeing ya’ll there.

I am also encouraging everyone to read the Division article in the Semper Fi Magazine. It is written by the various Department Commandants and has been very well received. The Commandants who have participated thus far have done great jobs. Thank you Marines.

Semper Fi,

In my closing remarks at the Division Conference I challenged all attendees with five tools that if accepted and applied, would guarantee success in any endeavor we take on. I would like to share those here with everyone.

  1. Remember where you came from:
    1. We are in business to SERVICE the Red Hats.
    2. The very foundation of the League is the Detachment.
    3. If they don’t exist there is no Division, Department or National HQ.
  2. Everything that has ever happened in my life, good or bad, is the result of a decision I made.
    1. Bad things happen to good people. Some things come into our lives in spite of what we do. The question then is how we handle it. We are measured by how we handle the tough times.
  3. Usually, it’s “just that simple”.
    1. We often hear from those with challenges, “You don’t understand” or “it’s not that simple”. Usually it is.
    2. If you see a problem, see the solution.
    3. Don’t complicate things
  4. Learn the lessons that the people coming and going in your life have to teach.
    1. Everyone entering your life is there for a reason.
    2. They have some lesson for you to learn.
    3. Figure out what it is; good or bad.
  5. We can accomplish great things if we don’t care who gets the credit.
    1. This is probably the most important and most difficult of all the rules. It’s also indisputable.

We can debate, discuss, analyze and think about these points, but their effectiveness will never be realized until they are put into practice. Got something to add? Share your thoughts and ideas.
