Sorry for the delay…

There is no doubt that despite whatever faults it may have, USNA is one hell of a leadership school. No one is saying anything different. The discussion here is more along the lines of how to make it better. It would seem that, either due to the presence of new leadership, attitudes, or enlisted personnel, that some changes have been made. It’s good to hear. Last year I recall commenting on how it seemed that the Detailers were screaming a lot less than in my day, and that was a good thing. If this is a trend, then I certainly hope it continues. I just want the lessons learned to be done so with as little pain as possible, and with as few “lessons” like mine being needed.

A “New Naval Academy”, eh? That’ll be interesting to see. Comments like that have been floating around since… 1845, I bet! :D

I do wish they’d do away with the term “Cadre”, though. I HATE that damned word! :mad:
