Most doctrinal terms are garbage buzzwords. Made-up terms of art that exist because a SAMS grad colonel doesn't want to use the same terms as bankers or lawyers. But guess what: if you're not closing with and killing, you're a manager, no matter what tab is on your shoulder.

So this week I got to listen to a navy O6 explain Army BCAP to another navy guy, and wow has the army done a great job of taking the new Good Old Boy system and portraying it as meritocratic and a giant improvement. Well done, whoever the PAO was on that.

100% urinalysis this week, and waiting around with dozens of other people to pee, heard a group of junior NCOs just BSing. One of them said "I don't care what they say, I'll never call it 'Fort Liberty.' I got married and divorced at Bragg, dammit."
