Too bad the Dept of Ed does not take Patton's advise to heart. My experience just says to change the percentages:
* 1/3rd, give them the book and the syllabus and get out of their way. * 1/3rd, give them the book and the syllabus and answer their questions as need be and they will do fine. * 1/3rd, have no clue why they are in the course and no amount of coaching will change that.
The Army has always been pickier than the Board of Education.
If the Army grades you 4F, you get to stay a civilian, and they kick you out of line. If the Board of Education sees you got 4 Fs, they promote you to the next grade anyways, all the way to high school graduation.
Clever readers will spot the flaw in one of these plans.
Not counting the news outlets or websites along the full range of accuracy and veracity, I follow multiple actual individuals' handwritten blogs. (Bot news aggregators don't thrill me.) Looking them over, many are current serving or former military and a couple are some variation of high-speed low-drag elite forces ninjas. Or just funny as all. Because life without humor is just despair. So in other words, the same folks I trusted in the military not to wet the bed, sh*t themselves, or otherwise run around like headless Nancys, are the same folks I trust on the interwebz, for demonstrating pretty much the same trustworthiness and circumspectly responsible behavior. Color me shocked.
Comments are fully moderated, due to idiots and trolls. Grown up discussion here will appear just as soon as I have the time to push it through. ANONYMOUS UNSIGNED COMMENTS WILL BE AUTO-DELETED WITHOUT MERCY, and the url added to the spam filter, or mercilessly mocked at the bloghost's sole discretion. If you're too chickensh*t to come up with an alias for online purposes, you're not tall enough for this blog. Pick a name, and stick with it, and you're good. Get cute, and you're wasting your time and my electrons, and your masterpiece will never see the light of day. No warning shots will be fired. If you can't maintain decorum and polite behavior, I won't toy with you, I'll squash you. If one of your comments disappears, YOU f**ked up. If all of them do, it's time for you to go. Disagree with the points made, on the merits, and you're good. Go after me personally, or other commenters, and your comment will never see daylight here. My tolerance for skirting the line is at absolute zero, and will remain there. Don't f**k up.

When did the Air Force start putting their planes on stilts?
You put the planes on stilts so all the pilots can feel like they're flying, not just the ones who can. Wait until you meet your new doctor.
