Military Professionalism

Military professionals voluntarily submit to constraints like living where ordered, restrictions on speech and dress, and being deployed away from family on short notice. They must endure difficult conditions like bad weather, lack of food and sleep, isolation in remote posts, and overwork without complaint. Their lives are not their own, as they could be scattered anywhere after death with no say in the matter, all because of their chosen profession.

Military Professionalism

Men who adopt the profession of arms submit their own free will to a law
of perpetual constraints of their own accord. They resist their right to live
where they choose, to say what they think, to dress as they like. It needs
but an order to settle them from their families and dislocate their normal
lives. In the world of commands, they must rise, march, run, endure bad
weather,and go out without sleep or food,be isolated in some distant
post,work until they drop.They have ceased to becomemasters of their own
fate.If they drop on their tracks,their ashes shall be scatteredin the four
winds,that is all part and parcel of their job.-
Don’t Quit
 
When things go wrong as they sometimes willWhen the road you’re
trudging seems all uphillWhen the funds are low and the debts are highAnd
you want to smile but you have to sighWhen the world is pressing
you down a bitRest if you must but don’t you quitLife is queer with its twists
and turnsAs everyone of us sometimes learnsAnd many a failure turns
aboutWhen he might have won had he stuck it outDon’t give though the
pace seems slowYou may succeed with another blowOften the goal is
nearer thanIt seems to a faint and faltering manOften the struggler has
given upWhen he might have captured the victor’s cupAnd he learned too
late when the night slipped downHow close he was to the golden
crownSuccess is failure turned inside outThe silver tint of the clouds of
doubtAnd can never tell how close you areYou maybe near when it seems
too far So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hitIt’s when things are
worst that you mustn’t quitNote:
Don’t Quit 
is suited for what everyone seems to beexperiencing now.
Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.
Retreat but don’t give up.
