This is probably the closest forum I would put this under (unless there's an "off-topic" I missed.)
Prior to my (eventual?) enlistment, there are a couple character flaws of mine I'd like to correct. One of which is my unfortunate habit to speak out of my lane when I'm not qualified to be giving my opinion. I'm not sure where it came from but it's now habitual. And I hate doing it, but my mouth (and my hands, it seems) move faster than my brain.
You'd think it would be easy to just not speak on things you're not an expert in, but it's hard! I've even made the mistake here several times (and have been sternly corrected -- thank you all for that.)
I know it's probably asking a lot, but has anyone else been in a similar situation, and/or figured out a way to prevent it? (Be blunt; I don't mind.)
I'm sure some yelling at by a Master Corporal the would correct it the first time, but I'm sure there are many other things I'll be corrected on if I ever join (being realistic,) and I'd hope this isn't one of them
Edit: Yikes. I did miss the off-topic board, "Radio Chatter"...I'm pretty sure it's more appropriate there. If a mod agrees, I'd appreciate a move over there. Thanks!
