Two other things picked up from the son this weekend

I asked him if he'd heard about John Effin' Kerry's comments: "Oh yeah, Sgt. - was really pissed about that!" and went on to list some of the sergeants comments.

Second, he'd mentioned this before but this brought it back to mind: I think every DI in both batteries he's been in so far have been in Iraq or Afghanistan or both and came back to the States in the last few months. Lessons have included lots of personal notes about what they've seen/done and pointers coming therefrom. I'd heard the Army was working to get the lessons from the lines back to the training people, and it appears they're really doing it.
