Damn talk about breathing life into a mummy.......missed this one, really? OK let's get back to your questions.
OK, I'm ten yrs out of retirement now. Things have changed certainly, even from when I was in I was battling these same issues.
1. Nintendo warriors are alive and well and still a viable asset this depends on senior enlisted leadership, NCO's, Chiefs. Are they savvy, do they lead from the front by example or do they ride from the rear and on the backs of their men? This is what makes or breaks the sailor or soldier. If he/she was FUBAR before they came to you then it's up to you to fix them or send them packin.
2. SERE online, who thought of that? Well that's an easy one, who's been in charge of the military's social club for the last 8yrs? Times are changing rapidly as we speak on this subject as we speak. When this topic was being written, things were falling apart from within because the Navy got caught with their pants down. LEADERSHIP!
3. Reagan yrs, Pres. Reagan was attempting to put together a 600 ship Navy........didn't happen but he was trying. It got squashed. Navy had a Blue "stress" card, it came to be in 94 right after I finished my tour as a DI "Company Commander" they shut down San Diego and Orlando just before that and we were taking in ALL of the Navy's recruits by then............Clusterfuck! I was so glad to be heading to my next command. The "Blue" card was short lived.
4. I trained by "Murphy's Law" that's the way "I" was trained and that's the way "I" passed it down. There's just somethings you can't replace, "your fuckin head stupid" "If you can't think in the shit then you will became the shit that gets stepped on when we come crashing through cause you didn't think"
5. If it's electronic, it will not work when you need it.
6. If it takes batteries, when you need it they will be dead or dying.
7. If it's a "Red Dot" scope, chances are you won't see the "Red dot"
8. Shall I continue? Radios? Weapons? Gear?
