S. McCurrach "Pride n.: a sense of one's own dignity or worthy self respect. (WEBSTER'S NEW WORLD DIC- TIONARY)

There's something sterile about a diction- ary definition, particularly one dealing with intangibles like "pride." Unfortunately, concepts such as "pride in service" or "pride in uniform," as they are treat- ed in military orientation lectures and cours- es, also become somewhat meaningless to most of us. Pride is something you observe or experience, not some definition to be memorized. We've all seen examples of pride, and what we've seen gave meaning to the idea. Here is a personal example. As a rookie Ensign, my first duty station was a relatively ancient amphibious Attack Transport where I was assigned to the deck force. My men, a rough-talking, hard-drink- ing, capable group of Bosuns Mates and Seamen compromising First Division? were right out of the pages of MISTER ROBERTS.

They had written the handbook. No matter how many sermons I delivered, no matter how many words of wisdom I imparted to these renegades-from my fat notebook of Naval Orientation, I was unable to sway them on the importance of what they were doing.
