rom the land of the rising sun to paradise’s setting sun, Naval Air Station Key West’s new Executive Officer Cmdr. Gregory Brotherton still finds himself assigned to an island tour - on the other side of the world.

Brotherton arrived in January after serving more than two years in Yokosuka, Japan, where he was deputy director of Commander, Seventh Fleet, Commander’s Initiatives Group. The tour included a number of deployments aboard USS Blue Ridge (LCC 19).

“I’m excited about the opportunity to work with such a diverse team of professionals within and outside the DOD,” said Brotherton, whose official first day was Monday.

Although new to the community, he said he has heard about the Navy’s history in Key West, which dates back to 1823.

“I’m proud to be a part of an organization that has such a great relation-

Joseph Kerwin.

ran across an excerpt from a book by John F. Macarthur “The Pillars of Christian Character” that I think is appropriate for this time of year with our students who are graduating, and for all of us as well.

Get yourself organized. Make a schedule, however detailed or general you are comfortable with, and stick to it. Have a to-do list of things you need to accomplish. Using a daily planning book or a personal information manager program on your computer is helpful.

Work at being organized, even if all you do is jot down appointments and to-do items on a piece of scrap paper. The simple reality is that if you don’t control your time, everything (and everyone) else will.

Don’t constantly seek to be entertained. When you have free time, do things that are productive instead of merely entertaining. Read a good book, listen to classical music, take a walk or have a conversation with someone.

In other words, learn to entertain yourself with things that are challenging, stimulating and creative. Things that are of no value except to entertain you make a very small contribution to your well-being.

Be on time. If you’re supposed to be somewhere at a specific time, be there on time. The apostle Paul listed proper use of time as a mark of true spiritual wisdom: “Be careful how you walk, not as unwise men, but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil,” (Ephesians 5:15-16).

Being punctual marks a life that is organized. It reveals a person whose d.sires, activities, and responsibilities are under control.

Being on time also acknowledges the importance of other

people and the value of their time.

Keep your word. “Undertake not what you cannot perform,” a young George Washington exhorted himself, “but be careful to keep your promise.”

If you say you’re going to do something, do it CHAPLAIN'S - when you said CORNER you would do it and how you said you would do it. When you make commitments, see them through. That NAS Key West calls for the disciCommand Chaplain pline to properly Lt. evaluate whethScott Mason er you have the time and capability to do something. And once you’ve made the commitment, self-discipline will enable you to keep it.

Do the most difficult tasks first.

Most people do just the opposite, spending their time doing the easier, low priority tasks. But when they run out of time (and energy), the difficult, high-priority tasks are left undone.

Finish what you start. Some people’s lives are a sad litany of unfinished projects. In the words of poet John Greenleaf Whittier, “For of all sad words of tongue or pen, The saddest are these: ‘It might have been!’ “ If you start something, finish it. Therein lays an important key to developing self-discipline.

Accept correction. Correction helps you develop self-discipline by showing you what you need to avoid. Thus, it shouldn’t be rejected, but accepted gladly.

Solomon wrote “Listen to counsel and accept discipline, that you may be wise the rest of your days.” (Proverbs 19:20); and “He whose ear listens to the life giving reproof will dwell among the wise. He who neglects discipline despises himself, but he who listens to reproof acquires understanding.” (Proverbs 15:31-32).

Practice self-denial. Learn to say no to your feelings and impulses. Occasionally deny yourself pleasures that are perfectly legitimate for you to enjoy.

Skip dessert after a meal. Drink a glass of iced tea instead of having that banana split that you love. Don’t eat that doughnut that caught your eye. Refraining from those things will remind your body who is in charge.

Welcome responsibility.

Volunteer to do things that need to be done. That will force you to have your life organized enough to have the time for such projects.

I hope your time reading this article has encouraged you. Please come and join us on Sundays at 10:30 a.m. at Truman Annex Chapel for worship service with our praise band and children’s church. Please visit our Facebook page (Truman Chapel) for upcoming events.

The single day celebration stemmed from the unification of the Armed Forces under the Department of Defense.

At the first observation of Armed Forces Day, President Harry S. Truman praised the work of the military services at home and across the seas.

“It is vital to the security of the nation and to the establishment of a desir-

able peace,” Truman is quoted as saying..

“Armed Forces Day, Saturday, May 20, 1950, marks the first combined demonstration by America’s defense team of its progress, under the National Security Act, towards the goal of readiness for any eventuality,” Truman said.

“It is the first parade of preparedness by the unified forces of our land, sea, and air defense.”

The recognition continues today and DOD officials continue to offer praise to the nation’s Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Airmen.
