Attention to detail was a big one, as well as always looking to adapt to any sort of roadblock that would come up, being quick to think on my feet—which is something that I attribute to the military for sure—and looking for ways around things.
Failure to adapt in the military is a failure. You have to adapt to equipment issues, personnel issues, environmental issues and things like that. That really gave me a head start in business, because things are coming at you five times a day that you may not expect, so you have to be able to adapt to them.
Those were the key things that I took away from the military that have helped me in business.
