be there for your guys when no one else is even if it detracted from your own off hr time. also never give an order you aren't willing to carry out yourself. be nice to your guys... hard but fair. platoon sgt is a father figure to kids. gotta treat the job right.

Preparing their soldiers for ACAP on time. That’s what makes a great platoon sergeant.
