Ummm, no, it isn't, but I'll let you work this one out.
Good luck with that.
PNCOC...is the lower level...as if you knew. And a teenie bop agenda doesn't change that. It is for the low end NCO, and establishes the principals of leadership. It shows resolution directions and leadership styles. It's like someone comes in and stabs you a couple of times, like the norm of much social imput by you type of guys...what are you going to do? You going to let it bleed, or are you going to go for a solution and stitch it back up?
You don't just go through a log drill in PT or schedule time in the computer generated systems to eliminate an attitude or lack of discipline.
BNCOC...is for weapon system based training. It gives a soldier reinforcement on leadership, and if a tanker, tank related courses to make him fully operational in the desert. This gives needed perspectives, on how to integrate a lower level crew unit, in both directional imput, but fully integrated in a unit level function. Kind of like a linebacker group, offensive linemen, and secondary for a defensive unit on a team. Each has an integrated function, and if there isn't integrated play...you get your butt kicked in an engagement. Same with football...if young players, which today's NFL requires large turn overs, don't see an integrated function with positional groups, then they are exploited. This doesn't only mean to a lousy coach, but good ones as well.
ANCOC...is an advanced school for Senior NCO's. This provides much more advanced knowledge upon weapon systems, foreign make up/inventories/weapon systems/and methods of applications. You learn full integration of multi-fire units and how to address contingency of applications. This is where the developing soldier learns to take his soldiers to war, AND bring them back alive.
Naw, book learning isn't important...and John Wayne is the movie version of reality?
No, this, in a restaurant, is where your bar tender drinks with his customers, floor personnel amusement themselves, and the cooks put out bland food, only costing a restaurant a $1 million dollars a year and puts it on the market for someone to swoop it up and implement a system that does address directional imput as well as MAKE decisions on personnel interactions and technique of operations. Again, the book side of leadership learning. Books after all, aren't all drama or science fiction in nature. Some are observations of successful organization that has put been put into words and then on paper. Still, a communication flow.
Next, is Sergeant Majors Academy, which is by the way, located at Fort Bliss, Tx. It is located in the desert, and one can find a rattler there almost daily. Know what? That boot soldier still does his own latrine daily. This while learning integrated activities on an even higher level of function. He learns fine detail interaction requirements to keep larger organizational entities fully integrated and self-supporting. This is all about leadership as well as soldier development to fully utilize what is now an expensive progression to keep that soldier continually developing/acquiring skills necessary for his own level of function/and giving career anchoring skills as well.
The Army is the oldest functional organizational unit in the Federal Government. Beyond the Services, your 'boots, is the Post Office.
Both are fully integrated services that operate on principals of personnel and standards progressing to sustainable and successful production levels as well. Good and reinforcing elements of these two organization work best, when developing elements are well watered, and don't become privilege or power acquiring processes.
Guess what, football is the same kind of animal.
The Cowboys have a Head Coach with great organizational abilities. He waters the whole player. His coaching staff has very strong leadership abilities for a NFL football team. They all operate and function on the level of experience and knowledge, that a soldier would acquire at the ANCOC level of military training. Cross comparisons easily arrived at. They provide support for all the integrated positional demands that a team has within it's scheme and style of play.
Guess what also, the Coordinators have a similar function as does the CSM, who has been schooled at Fort Bliss.
If they don't retain organizational effectiveness, then just at the Command levels of Battalion/Squadron or Regimental/Brigade levels, they are replaced.
That happened with Bill Callahan as it did with Rob Ryan. It probably had something to do with the new position for Monte Kiffin as well.
This being a reflection of good organizational principals at work, and with Jason Garrett pulling the switches on those high level positions as well. The thing here, although, both Callahan and Kiffin still have leadership developmental talents, and were redirected as to role within organization.
The organization deficiency areas have come under control...and during the head coaching period of Jason Garrett. He and Stephen have forged a system of cap management that both is currently functional as well as strongly projects forward.
Roster development has reached point of both youth, and developing quality through recent drafts. NFL experience is being maintained with journeymen who have a drive to arrive at starting levels...and leave the check books almost fully operational as well.
A fully functional system is once again in place...and that does not depend upon folklore or a burn barrel buddy routine replete with tar buckets, mops, and feathers as well.
With boots, the moto is forged in fire, came out steel, applies in football a well. One has to develop up the players in an optimum way. This Jason Garrett does and with perspective of a family that has been in the business for over two generations now.
Well school and experience coaches, that function on the level of schooled NCO's, and in much the same functional level, are in place. This is a very functional organization now...and nothing to take for granted. Ask any team's coaching staff that will be a Dallas Cowboys' opponent this upcoming season, and ask them if this group is mislead or a pushover.
A fan should be able to grasp this as well. But not using studying and organization review...is instead, foolish and irresponsible.
Don't kid yourself, it doesn't take losing $1 million on too many restaurants, before a person, even Jerry Jones, realizes the fallacy and stupidity in not maintaining standards as well as developing strong leadership groups to grow a team...continualy. That takes the Turk making visits during camp, and Jason Garrett keeping a ringer on the pulse to see that all systems are alive.
Without this leadership development, and at quicker rates than general schools in service, a league of Josh Gordons, that are believing tools acquired off the block are adequate and self supporting as well.
Sorry, I like Jason Garrett a lot...and if he can maintain the role of a General, he will be evaluated and replaced...but that just isn't the picture in view now.
