the moral of the story is the dog was far and away superior to the Occifer you described or (suffered under). Yep!

Like everything else in life as you know Zim, there are people who have skills and abilities and those who have some credentials and haven't got a clue. There are plenty of them too.

Where ya don't want one of them is in a jungle on a combat patrol mission and yer best friend is the experienced master sergeant. It was him that mostly kept us from getting killed.

The only good leaders are ones who can learn from other people no matter their rank or level in the world.. They also recognize they don't have ALL the answers and aren't afraid to ask help from someone who might..

Ribit > I had serious concerns about first and second Lt's.


Yeah, I know the feeling. (Peace time army.) I remember one exercise. I was the Captain's RTO. We were out there on the edge of the airfield and the mortar platoon lieutenant (2nd) had my handset glued to his ear and kept turning round and round trying to see everything going on. A couple of times I had to stand up and spin the guy back around three times to get the cord untangled.

(Reminds me of a silly dog I once owned. We'd go for a walk, and he kept getting tangled around my legs. So I'd stop and he'd get irritated with me cause we weren't moving anymore . . . But, he did learn. When I stopped he'd check and untangle and off we'd go.)

Zim.
