Why be the difference?
“BE THE DIFFERENCE”
Be the difference came from something that my Drill Sgt. said to me back when I was in basic training in the Army. One day, my whole platoon was outside the barracks on the concrete, in the rain, doing push ups for what seemed like forever. As my Drill Sgt. walked passed me, I damn near fell over I was so tired and cold. He stopped in front of me and took a knee. This mountain of a man was staring at me inches from my face and he asked me “Do you know why we are doing this to you?” I had no answer. I just yelled back “No Drill Sgt.!” He lifted his head and yelled so the whole platoon could hear “Well then let me ask you this...what is the difference between good and evil?” I just thought to myself "Shit, if I get this one wrong, it could be my ass doing push ups all night". I used what strength I had left and yelled “I don’t know Drill Sgt.!” just then he jumped in my face, on his hands and knees and screamed “You private! You are the difference between good and evil. One day someone will need you to be the difference between the good and the evil that falls upon them, and that’s why we train so hard, why I must push you until you f**king break! Now let me tell you something. You will never be strong enough, you will never be fast enough, and you damn sure won’t be smart enough, but by the f**king grace of God, I have the duty to train you so when that shit storm of a day comes, and believe me son it will. You just might be strong and fast and smart enough to not f**k it all up, and you will survive and you will save lives. Now f**King push!” that was it. I got a second wind I made the rest of the time in basic. Every so often my drill would yell at me “BE THE DIFFERENCE BOY!”
And so I had that in my head the rest of the time I was in the Army and now I use it as EASY COMPANY slogan.
So always remember
