If I had run my unit as a PVT there would have been no morning PT, we'd be gone by 3 every day, and we'd be off by noon on Fridays. We'd also walk on the grass whenever we wanted to because that's what grass is for.

No kidding, Sir, I have that same belief that grass was made to walk on, there would be less feet problems because there's less impact running on the grass then running on pavement, also!

Capt Seid Waddell - also people have said wisdom also comes with age and experience, and I have seen some older experienced military personnel that should not have the rank that they had or have.
There were also some PV2 or even PFCs that were more mature than those that were in "charge" of them. I had to grow up pretty fast before I was even in the service so I know that I could have done better than some in my unit when I was in.
That is why I said ouch....

PFC (Join to see), I have heard it said that age is an intensifier - the wise get more wise in time and the foolish get more foolish.
Did you ever run across the book "The Peter Principle"?
The idea is that a person doing a job well will be promoted; if the next job is also done well they will be promoted again. Eventually they will be promoted to a job that is above their abilities and will not be promoted, but will also not be fired because they have such a good track record. They will have reached their level of incompetence. This is the Peter Principle.
So when an organization is young it will be staffed by people that are still competent in their work, but as the organization matures more and more staff achieve their individual levels of incompetence.
Occasionally you will find an individual that has been promoted several times after they reached their level of incompetence, but this is not a violation of the Peter Principle - it is an indication that the person doing the promoting has reached his or her level of incompetence and cannot judge their employees accurately. This is known as Peter's Inversion.

Capt Seid Waddell - that is quite interesting. I have not heard of that before. It does ring true though.
Very good points Captain Waddell, very good points indeed.
