I have never been associated with basic training or basic traninees so I can only assume you must be talking about your own experience and knowledge here because it certainly does not measure up to my meager experiences in other environments. We all sort of went throught this zero
defeck mentality back in the 70's where everything had to be
perfeck. But speaking as a person who has been a "commander" I have never allowed myself to be measured by nor have I measured my subordinate "commanders" by their ability to achieve 100 percent in
all things. While some things were invioable in my book they had more to do with qualities and not quantities. That is not to be confused with holding folks accountable for meeting standards of performance for particular tasks and under specified conditions.
