This kind of scum is the reason that most X-rays (I can at least speak for myself) do not like to be known as such. I know what learning environment this misguided sap is trying to critique. I participated in the compressed language combined with MOS class, and yes there were long nights of studying. The Q-course changes and reacts to the needs of our force. If this master of training doctrine development and strategic policy believes he has a better way, perhaps he should be the commanding General of JFKSWCS. But he is not, he is a punk. If he still holds a tab (I anticipate he has already gotten a DWI or had his ruck thrown in the hall by now) then he shames the Brotherhood and any X-ray that is worth a darn.

The number one piece of advice that I received from my time in the school house was “when you get to your team, regardless of rank, you are the FNG. You will be referred-to and treated as such. Keep your mouth shut and your ears open until you have either served one full year on the team or a combat deployment, whichever comes first.” I followed this guidance and did not utter a word besides yes, no or roger for the first year. I learned my job, I earned respect, and what happened in the Q became a distant and irrelevant memory.

It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing, always to be followed by a dictatorship, then a monarchy.
