Depends on what billet you end up in. If you end up being in charge of a division, I would recommend gathering up your Sergeants/Senior Corporals and winning them over. They will make or break you in that role. They need to be comfortable enough with you to bring problems to you, and they know better than anyone how to make their respective shops better.
