    Hi Cole,

    I hope the following isn't offensive, it's just my own biased observation of most military publications:

    Option 1: Not writing a paragraph, or manual, and allowing for some ad-lib on the part of the target audience.

    Option 2: Include confusingly worded, "hodgepodge of styles and substance" in publication.

    Net Effect(Option 2) minus Net Effect(Option 1) = x thousands of dollars used for creating, publishing, and maintaining Option 2.
