• A goal should be something an individual can be motivated toward achieving.

"SMART" Goal Settings

• Specific: I will have all my badges sewn onto my uniform in the correct positions.

• Measurable: I will get a copy of the dress instructions that show where badges will be sewn onto the uniform.

• Attainable: I will check with other Level 1 cadets to see if my uniform is correct.
