Now, the truth is, they might not know that you are trying to make a big change in your life. They might even ask to borrow money - don't do it! How do they do this? Just like in the example above, your Blue Falcons might try to get you to go out more often, spend money on trips and movies and golf. Unfortunately, the Blue Falcons in your life will try to influence you and make it harder for you to reach your financial goals. Perhaps, like millions of Americans, you are working hard to get out of debt and stay out of debt. How, you may wonder, does this term fit into the context of finances? Maybe you are trying desperately to save money. Whatever they do, they are trying to influence you to not make the change you have decided to make.

They might even consciously interrupt your carved out gym time. Maybe these "friends" will try to sway you to skip your workout routine and join them at the local bar.

They might be annoyed when you choose to hit the gym instead of grabbing your usual beer with them. Imagine having three close buddies, none of whom work out with any regularity. You will also have friends who could care less about what you are doing or see that you are trying to make a change but, for some reason, don't want you to be successful. You will notice that you have friends who support you (these are called your Battle Buddies) - help you to make good choices at restaurants, avoid interrupting your workout schedule, or ask how your new strategy is working out. Say you are trying to lose weight or stick to a strict weight-lifting regimen. These people are your Blue Falcons, and you need to find a way to either eliminate them in your life or at least reduce the influence they have over you. These people can be friends, co-workers, even family members their main function is to foil whatever plan you are trying to put in place in your life. Whenever you want to make a change in your life, or try something new, you may find yourself surrounded by people who not only don't support your endeavors, but actually hinder them.
BLUE FALCON MEANING ARMY HOW TO
Have you ever wanted to make a serious change in your financial life? Like get rid of your student loan debt, pay off your credit cards, or just get a grasp on where the heck all your hard earned money is going? (See also: How to Save Without Goals) Sound familiar? Blue Falcons always brought us down and were a drag on our platoon building any momentum. Getting "smoked" means doing a lot of calisthenics that weren't a lot of fun.

What exactly did it mean to be a Blue Falcon? If a soldier talked in formation when he shouldn't have or didn't shine his boots, he was considered a Blue Falcon because we all got "smoked" by our drill sergeants. The term Blue Falcon was the PG version used to describe a fellow soldier that was a "Buddy Fudger" (keeping it censored here for the kiddos). When I was in basic training for the Army, everybody hated Blue Falcons.
