“The truth of the matter is that you always know the right thing to do. The hard part is doing it.
General Norman Schwarzkopf.
Stress the importance of coming to the right decision, for the right reasons, even if it’s the less favored of other possible decisions.
Recall the three context – Situation, Social, Personal
Recall the Universal Principles - Do No Harm, Do the Best Good, respect Self and others, Be Fair with Wisdom.
Relate this all back to the Navy Core Values. Have the Courage and commitment to act honorably – Doing what is right – because it is the right thing to do.
