HOW TO RECOGNIZE A FIRST
SERGEANT
- A TWINKLE IN THE EYE TO LIGHTEN
UP DARK AND GLOOMY SITUATIONS
- EARS SET "JUST RIGHT"
FOR GOOD LISTENING
- SOFT, BUT FIRM, SHOULDERS FOR LEANING
ON AND CARRYING PROBLEMS
- EYES IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD FOR
SEEING EVERYTHING THAT�S GOING ON
- STRONG HANDS TO LEAD AND GUIDE
- LONG LEGS TO HELP GET TO ALL THE
PLACES YOU NEED TO GO
- A WELL WORN WALLET FROM ALL THE
CONTRIBUTIONS
- CALLUSES ON THE KNEES FROM SPENDING
AMPLE TIME THERE SEEKING GUIDANCE AND ASSISTANCE
- FEET SLIGHTLY CONTOURED TO FIT
FANNIES THAT NEED A FIRM KICK
- A TOUGH BODY THAT CAN ENDURE ALL
TYPES OF STRESS AND KEEP SMILING
- GRAY HAIRS THAT COME WITH THE JOB
- WORRY WRINKLES IN THE BROW FROM
CARE AND CONCERN FOR YOUR PEOPLE
- BAGS UNDER THE EYES FROM LONG DAYS
AND SHORT NIGHTS
- CAPS ON THE TEETH WHERE A FEW HAVE
GOTTEN KICKED IN
- TEAR MARKS ON THE CHEEKS
- STRETCH MARKS ON THE NECK FROM
STICKING IT OUT FOR YOUR PEOPLE
- TEETH MARKS FROM GETTING CHEWED
OUT FOR SOMETHING ONE OF YOUR PEOPLE DID
- TEARS AROUND THE HEART FROM WHEN
IT�S BEEN TORN OUT BY PEOPLE YOU CARED FOR
- SCARES ON THE HEART FROM WHEN IT�S
BEEN BROKEN FROM HAVING TO DISCIPLINE SOMEONE
- A LONGING BEHIND THE SMILE FROM
LONELINESS, BECAUSE PEOPLE ONLY SEE YOU AS "THE SHIRT." THE ONE
WITH THE BIG STICK�THE ONE TO STAY AWAY FROM�THE ONE TO BE FEARED
