The Advisory or Advisor Challenge

[Jimbo]

Sully,

Let em go through what I have here in DC with me. If you want any feedback on what I learned in 2005 at MNSTC-I, I can provide some stuff. I have been compiling some FID stuff.

P.S. Sully, have you seen the latest and greatest version of the SAMS reading list yet?

Your assistance in the Advisor Team newsletter would be most welcome.

Tom,

No problem, I would be honored to help. It will be a welcome change from the inter-agency project that I am currently banging my head against a wall trying to get stuff done.

OP18 and OP19 could be interesting.

OP18 and OP19 could be interesting.

Yes Martin they are very good, written by a close friend of mine Bob Ramsey. I would recommend them to anyone looking at FID in a historical sense.

Best

Tom

Thanks for the feedback all. OPs 18 and 19 along with the MATA handbook are part of the JCISFA CD we hand out/take with us as part of our takeaway package. Right now there is some discussion about a short tasker for creating an Advisor Handbook (think Ranger Handbook format) and I wanted to see if the community has anything already established. We are working with Fort Riley, Phoenix Academy in Iraq and some organizations to gather the materials to get this knocked out. Thanks for the advice.

Jimbo, that's a big negative. I've been knocking things off the current reading list since I figure things won't change that much. Plus I found out I'm doing the KSU piece so my list may be different (or more!) than the standard reading list.

Sully,

Shoot me a PM with some contact info, I need to bounce something off of you tomorrow. What is the KSU thing??? Hell, Sully, I am even looking for the old reading list. Thanks.
