Saintless, yes I would hope we learn too
but being a "seasoned" pessimist I doubt
we are able to learn how to avoid it in future.

I trust everybody involved felt they did the right thing.

So no chance to learn as I see it but it can be my lack of
finetuning using English that fail to get nuances in the texts.

I trust that all of us or at least a big majority of us
underestimate how incredibly difficult this is.

They even write academic books about how difficult
cooperation is.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2001/fe ... ianreview4

Richard Sennett wrote a book that got published
2012 and the title is

Together: The Rituals, Pleasures, and
Politics of Cooperation
In it he says that cooperation needs skills of a craftsmen.
One need to commit to listening in a way we are not used to.

One need to be skilled at doing it and that take deep
commitment and dedication to get good at it.
http://www.richardsennett.com/site/SENN ... ?pageid=40

The cool thing with that guy is that he is one of those that
most likely have been brought up with Political Correctness

and his parents and grandparents? where too.
All of them Socialists and Communists and dedicated to
solving discrimination and other social issues.

So if he tells us this is much more difficult than what PC
folks usually say then I trust it is difficult.

Here in Sweden the PC folks like my Commist Dad and
his friends say it is very easy. One just decide to show
solidarity with minorities and all will just work.

Sennett knows from his own practice that it is not like that.

Co-operation needs commitment to practice until
one can listen to others in a skilled way.

I doubt any of us have that skill now. I know I fail at it.

not an ideal solution though

That was not a notice of intent.

Does anyone have a copy of that page?
I am now interested to see what transpired after I left.
At the time, I didn't want to know.

Dear jim3630,

have you ever joined one of those components of the United States of America?

Army
Navy
Air Force

Do you remember what you learn first when ever being send outside the USA as a soldier?

"You are an ambassador of the USA as soon as you leave conus in uniform!"

You are always asked to make friends! Regardless how bad they will ever speak about your country, the United States of America!


It ain't easy at all, I know.

Best Regards,
Feodor

Dear Jim,

I resigned in 1988 - I had an argument with an E-7.

He was fond of kicking his dog underneath his military desk (with drawers on one side and compartments on the others - there was not too much space left for his dog.)
As a human being he acted the same way.

I took my case all the way up to the LtC. It was me against an E-7 and his German witness. The LtC wanted me to stay - but hell, I wasn't patient enough.

Best Regards.
Feodor

that is tuff. in1989 stationed in Alaska knew would not retire out and simply found Caption Hazewood's vacation offer in Prince William Sound to compelling.

Exxon threw insane amounts of money at any idea for a remedy. i helpied set up a infrastructure and staffing for medical care of injured workers. latter when the Sound starting closing due to winter conditions i had experience to contract with the last crew to leave as the occupational safety officer on the ship dry dock.

pay comparable to private security officers in Iraq today so in 1989 i had 3 days shore leave. got to walk in pristine wilderness that had not a human foot on it in hundreds of years. too bad much of it was covered in oil.

Raffy,
Should we retain our passwords, or are you purging them?
Thanks.

I tend to agree with the posts here getting greatly off topic.
There are other areas of the forum for those posts.
This thread should be kept for the discussion of puppylinux.info and ideas and suggestions relating to it.

One has to remember that it is not guaranteed that puppylinux.info will reopen while this forum is in operation.

Is that not to be too optimistic?
