MAJ Dale E. Wilson, Ph.D. Nothing like lowering the standards for those who bitch they are too hard.

But, but, they weren't lowering standards--just focusing on the tasks at hand, or so said a few black hats who weren't transferred for complaining . . .

Never did I ever entertain the thought of going Airborne,their training at the time was very arduous with the extreme physical and mental conditions found in all special ops,but then again you were expected to jump out of a perfectly good aircraft into god knows what hostile environment,for that individuals must be trained to the highest standards,this dropping of critical standards will not have good results,only the thoughts of a dirty leg but that’s what I think.Welcome Home Brothers
