Be interested in seeing the data from that survey....I work with a lot of people young, middle and "old" (non-commissioned) and there's just so little interest in the subject - let alone a drive to change. There are more important matters in their minds and more than a few are puzzled by the leadership they see.
No Toadstool, it's not just the "ex-"; or the "old"!
