Human Terrain & Anthropology (merged thread)

I expect, within the next decade to encounter a Field Grade Officer who identifies him/herself as the Battalion S-1,238,976 (which has primary staff responsibility for tracking the zodiac sign of red headed left handers born during a blue moon within the battalion.) That section, of course, will have 10 people in it.

For that reason alone, it is good to be able to greet someone and say, "hey, nice to meet you...I'm the XO." That way, they already know you are the proverbial one-legged man, and that your pain is real.
