Good morning again gentlemen, You know being on this journey has made more aware of not just people’s clothing, their style, but also their actions, demeanor, and their character as a whole. The one thing that I noticed and I am embarrassed to say I have been guilty of this, is the lack of genuine politeness and greetings towards people. I see this behavior more and more and it really bothers me, that we tend to not greet one another anymore. I see people walk by each other and not even acknowledge their presence. What happened to the days of greeting people? I am not saying that you have to greet each and every person that you see on a crowded street. But people will not even acknowledge their presence of the person right in front of them or when the are walking through a door, they will walk right past a person and look straight ahead as if they they not even see the person in front of them or off to the side of them. There was a time when men acknowledged a lady by the tipping of the hat, a greeting of the day, for men a simple smile and a nod of their head, something. We have taught our men and especially young men that you have to be hard and show no emotion or gesture towards anyone especially another man. Now men only greet women if they want something from them a number, a date, or lord for bid something other. They only greet other men if it is someone they know. Is it really that difficult to be courteous and greet people? And who knows you might just give that person who is having a bad day hope. So gentlemen, let’s start a trend , let’s start being more cognitive of greeting people and especially giving a proper and cordial greeting. I know you some are thinking one person is not gong to make a difference, but if you as one person does and each of us as one person does this can become infectious. And sometimes by taking that initiative, you are bringing awareness to others of their actions and their lack of being cordial. Will you take this challenge and join me. I Would love to hear what your feedback is after the holiday’s, how this went for you. Even if you are already doing this, join this challenge and be more engaging with people and let’s see if we of the RMRS Community can make a difference.

You know you stay in the same hotels enough when you get in your room and the iPad automatically logs into Hilton Honors without having to input your credentials. I’ll end at 64 Hilton nights and 83 total nights in a hotel.

Dressing nicely at work projects professionalism and readiness, making a strong impression during unexpected opportunities like my unscheduled briefing with the Commanding General (CG). It can boost confidence and credibility, ensuring you’re always prepared for high-stakes interactions. Conversely, being underdressed, as some of your colleagues experienced, may undermine perceptions of competence in critical moments.

OK, so by introducing yourself you are guaranteed to get to level 2 - it's really that easy and I LOVE learning more about the cool people in this group. Feel free to share where you're from, why you're here, what you do for a living, and what you like about style. Are you a watch guy, suit guy, fragrance guy, or maybe just getting started? Have fun here!

Feeling grey and red today 😺
