Both on the jobs, very probably on the knowing others but I retired in 77 with just a tad less than 28 years not counting my year plus of National Guard time before the active bit. Did the DAC thing for another 18 finally totally retired in 95 because I got tired of trying to keep each new General from embarrassing himself trying to reinvent wheels in two year tours...
...to act any other way than they do, in that world, would be a kind of insanity.
True. Little hope for much change IMO; we have to try and I'd love to be surprised. Rarely am.
