Advices

1. Advice is like castor oil-easy enough to give, but difficult to take.

2. Have marked respect for the older captains, consult them frequentiy,
    show them friendship and confidence. Be the support, the friend, the
    father of the young officers; love the old sergeants and soldiers; speak
    to them often and always with good will, even seek their advice from
    time to time.
