Fletch - I don't want to rehash the entire 13 pages of the other thread - but I think sending recent UPT grads to this assignment is only a minor, minor improvement over sending non-rated officers and is still not acceptable. As I said, we need ISR asset commanders, and recent UPT grads have neither the experience, SA, nor decision-making skills required in that role.[/quote]


I agree entirely.

(13 pages? No wonder I didn't find it - wouldn't have the patience. Sorry for the rehash).
