As part of the USAFE personal reliability programme 30 years ago, I remember that it being zealot-like in terms of personal integrity. I wonder if we really were any different or if there simply wasn't the means available at the time, to cheat. I notice as well, that the Secret Service is in the merde again - maybe this always happened, maybe the means to expose it and the need to be publically responsive and accountable are more pressing, that's all.

Hmm.

"Leadership's focus on perfection led commanders to micromanage their people," said Wilson, pointing to pressure to get 100% scores on monthly proficiency exams when only 90% was necessary to pass. "... Leaders lost sight of the fact that execution in the field is more important than what happens in the classroom."
