Hey Marc,
There's little left to respond with at this point. Lemme think a smiggin...
Skype, although purportedly originating from this country, is a piece of Sierra and I actually don't know any Estonians that use it (here).
I was trying to be diplomatic (what in God's name is that?) in my post to Paul and you have once again forced me to come out of the closet
I certainly hope this test is not based on cultural experiences (or, the general lack thereof)... I'm doomed be it French, Lingala, Swiss German, and Estonian (we'll keep my English aptitude out of this for now) ?
Let the games begin
Regards, Stan

Received instructions from Matthias to include 3 attachments. However, No joy using my AKO at https://nemesis.jfcom.mil
If I try for the third attempt I will be locked out and ....Foxtroted

Had a snafu with the upload yesterday. We will be ready for everyone to log on and run it through its paces tomorrow.
If you haven't received the login instruction yet, please send me an email.

Paul and Marc (and any other Council Member participating),
Not sure where this should go, but felt we need to put it somewhere soon, in order to chronologically log events as they occur.
I finally slipped in this morning when all the IT pukes were still sleeping. Logged on this evening and enrolled in course 734706.
First Impressions
The countries I'm most familiar with are strangely absent from the list (but then the course is after all the HOA).
The prologue left me clicking "next" trying to escape and eventually I ended up with "What is Culture", but the system locked up during "Bias" and nearly had to restart to get it going.
Finally made it to my first card game when the system finally locked up for good after two or three successful matches. Not too sure I get the usefulness of the card game, but that will probably come later ???
Marc, Your initial impressions thus far?
Regards, Stan

Non-existent, Stan. I don't have either an ako or jko account. They were, supposedly, going to set up an alternate server for the few of us in that situation, but I haven't had any response to my emails about it yet. Maybe they don't want an Anthropologist assessing it !
What's bugging me somewhat is that, outside of not responding to my emails and generally treating me like a mushroom, they keep pushing the timing back. At this rate, if I ever get on, it will be as I'm traveling down to the TRADOC Senior Leaders Conference!
Oh well, I have other things on my plate to keep me going - a concert tonight (Bach and Purcel) and a funeral tomorrow (as well as all the other stuff).
Cheers,
Marc
