So this is the kind of thing those in academia waste their time (and our money) doing? What a load of bollocks! I'd be interested to take a 'w@nk word' count from that document, but I can't be arsed.

Perhaps their next study will be entitled "A focussed effects-based needs-orientated triangulation of the defecatory habits of woodland-based bears"

Are you sure this was academia?

The attributable workstreams included:

" Narratives, stories and cases"

"Learning through play"

Sounds more like nursery to me.

Interesting how a lot of the papers submitted equate leadership with management.

To me that has always been a contradiction in terms where, nowadays we have too much network centric air power management, and not enough leadership

Sadly, Exactly this style of material is in common use in the present RAF training system. Pity.

and that many graduates had an inability to relate to other ranks in general and SNCOs and WOs in particular.
....'nuff said, methinks...

I like the fact they include Sun Tzu and "The Art of War" in the References.

Always worth putting that or a bit of Clausewitz in - makes you look erudite!

I say give the new course a chance. It can't be any worse than the 'amateur psychologist, assess rather than train' bollocks I endured in the mid-eighties.
