I&...Caveat: not a military man, veteran, reservist. I've known a couple, and read a lot on mil-blogs.<br /><br />Now, my comments: the military has developed a very effective method of teaching and training.<br /><br />Training is intended to help a person accomplish a specific task, and the military has an effective process for that. (I think it's Explain/Demonstrate-and-Explain/Force-Trainee-to-Practice/Trainee-Demonstrates-Competence/Trainee-must-Demo-and-Explain-to-Another-Trainee.)<br /><br />Teaching is intended to increase knowledge and ability to think. The military puts a high priority on applicable knowledge, but also on ability to think and act under pressure.<br /><br />While not all of this experience prepares a person for the job of teaching, it does prepare any potential teacher for weeding out BS and getting to the point of his task.<br /><br />Which ought to be pretty useful in teaching. <br /><br />And the general idea (of giving military veterans a priority in getting .Gov jobs) seems useful. Not a panacea, but useful.karrdehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00205160745963596856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2957892640057886950.post-3309806531050015332012-02-27T22:04:12.640-08:002012-02-27T22:04:12.640-08:00Concur, makes sense to me!Concur, makes sense to me!Old NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2957892640057886950.post-74630185018761223132012-02-27T06:49:50.189-08:002012-02-27T06:49:50.189-08:00Now there's a sensible suggestion!
