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.

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.
