(29,173 posts)1. Anyone who has been retired for more than 20 years doesn't know stuff from peanut butter how the service functions anymore. Oh yeah, some things never change, but much does, command structure, equipment, tactics, mission objectives, etc. As usual, that bunch will be briefing you on the last war.
2. Not only is that bunch out of date, when they were AD they probably had no idea how the majority of service personnel lived, worked, thought about stuff. But then you don't give a rat's ass about the 47%, so why start now? Someday someone will smarten up and put a few chiefs on these advisory boards, then someone will get the straight skinny.
Unless he's a boy named Sue, there is one woman in that crowd, RAdm Veronica Froman. Her page must fallen out of the binder.
