[Study: Nuclear Force Feeling 'Burnout' from Work]

You can see the bleed-over into the 13S Space community as well. The commanders who have been of the CGO missile breeding baulked at the debrief process and did everything possible to sweep mistakes under the rug. Likewise, their recurring training and eval outbriefs spent more time weaseling out of their mistake rather than finding anything to learn from it. More than one officer in that room would defend the evasive actions and let it start occurring at the line-crew level. That led to a double standard where some of the 'chosen ones' would be able to dodge-duck-dip-dive-dodge a Q3 and for others not to. There in starts the breach of integrity for a commander that guts the morale of the crew force and corrupts the trust we have/had with the public we are sworn to defend (additionally: developing young officers who will some day be a commander themselves someday and continue to cycle).

Huge 2 on that. Another 13S here, my last assignment, Stan/Eval, DO, and CC were all products of the 13N CYA mentality. I can't tell you how many times I got into arguments with leadership and Stan/Eval regarding the style of training and evaluation (trapping style questions, punishing creativity during non-standard EP presentations, debriefs which never addressed deficiencies). It always boiled down to "well, this is how we did it in missiles". Luckily, leadership changed and the missile mentality disappeared but it seems that it's a problem that the 13N career field breeds.

Just trying to insert some humor. Although this is Army (and DuffelBlog), it seems too true to be fake.
