#4 Not unlike well-laid MilPlans, Civility + other also tends to end when the first enemy shell(s) land a bit too close.

#5 This reminds me of the old joke that the late 19th century British Army was a "social institution prepared for any emergency save that of war."

#6 "Enemy" JosephM? Sounds a little judgemental and unappreciative of another's point of view. I suggest a 500 credit fine and two weeks of cultural sensitivity reeducation classes.

#7 That's more buzz words and trendy language in one sentence than I've seen in years.

Geez, the guy really knows his way around gobble-degook.

#8 Besoeker

All those words have a place, just not together in that sentence.
Six-Sigma is just a name for process
I use paradigm a lot (designing DB systems)
Synergy is a useful word in business.

The problem is not the nomenclature, it's that its use is designed to obscure not enlighten.

#10 The USN has gone 'corporate' - an observation I made a few months ago that got me in trouble with the command suite (and higher.)

#11 Love the referal to the Double ugly as Queers; The Single ugly was the Straight. When I was new to the A6 world, I wondered what the 'Q' meant in the VAQ; I was told by the Chief.
Add CPO initiation to the waste bin of PC....

#12 It's funny, there's nothing more corporate than the Big Left, and nothing more Left than the Big Corporations these days.
