Positive attitude every day makes life easier in Iraq

Standard.net did an article on the outlook that our Franchise Sales Manager Chris Beyer takes. Chris is a great guy and we wish for his and all our soldiers safe returns.

Most people would find a 12-hour workday with no weekends off tedious, but Command Sgt. Major Chris Beyer says it's all about attitude.

"You get to choose that every day," he said Friday in a telephone interview from the U.S. Army's base in Camp Taji, a former Iraqi base and airfield, 27 miles north of central Baghdad.

"You can look at that as having a negative side or a positive," he said. "Every day I choose to have a good attitude about my situation. Regardless of what my situation is, or where I'm at, and I talk to my soldiers about that.

"It's the only thing we get to choose every day, and as long as you maintain a positive attitude, you tend not to focus on where you're at."
