Today I regretted doing something which I did out of impulse. I lost my temper at one of my SNCOs when all he was trying to do was show some initiative and try to make something better from his point of view. I should have just explained to him that in the future, if he has an idea he should approach his officers first before putting his ideas into action. Instead I shouted at him. I felt really bad about it. In fact I'm still feeling bad about it. I called him aside during water break and apologized to him. I think that's the least I could do.

Its like you try so hard to be the perfect mentor but then something like this happens which shakes your confidence.
