I had to re-read the thread again myself. It irritated me as well. What most of these younger guys don't realize is that we were in this business for 30+ years prior to 9/11 and combat in Iraq and Afghanistan. We are expected to be equally adept at developing a POI, training a police force, teaching BRM, setting the headspace and timing, conducting a raid, leading troops, setting up a classroom, ...and the list goes on. You could spend years at SWC....and still walk out of there without a full grasp of what you will encounter next on an ODA.
