HARD CHARGER is a term first heard in the military. It is customary to call a soldier or sailor who goes the "extra mile" to simply complete a task or mission for the team without any self interest a HARD CHARGER. The atmosphere within any Jail or Prison is considered to one degree or another "para-military". Many former military personnel have become employed within the Department of Corrections. As time went by, some of the old military sayings have found a place within the walls of these facilities. HARD CHARGER is at the top of the list. Within the Department of Corrections a Correction officer who goes that "extra mile" to complete any and all tasks, is a HARD CHARGER. Any Correction Officer who finds him/herself alone in a situation and does everything possible to "correct that situation" because it has to be done, is a HARD CHARGER. Any Department of Corrections personnel who has saved a life, prevented an assault, suicide, rape, escape or even a hostage situation without ever thinking about themselves first, is a HARD CHARGER. To help and/or assist someone under your control with learning a language, improving their education, assisting them with work and family relations on the outside is a HARD CHARGER. Any Correction Officer or employee "behind the wall" who has experienced any of the above without anyone giving thanks, nor expecting it, is a HARD CHARGER.
