MT2 Growing Leadership Blog #32 – Define Your Culture – Rock Steady!

I learned the meaning of Rock Steady when I was a young Second-Lieutenant in the U.S. Army. Rock Steady was our slogan when we returned a salute while assigned to Ayers Kaserne as part of the 3rd Armored Division. Ayers was known as the 'Rock.' The term Rock Steady stayed with me after my first assignment, and I continued to use it throughout my career, including my retirement years. I am sure the Military Police at Gowen Field, Boise, ID, look at me a little strange when I return their salutes with Rock Steady, even today.

Rock Steady stands not only for a slogan of a long-gone Army post in Germany but a message of being a fellow soldier, a directive to be persistent with a purpose, to a call to action when times are tough.

Then next time you feel like the world is against you, say it aloud – Rock Steady.
