There are 16 of us in this class. Several are Chiefs, many Battalion Chiefs, some Captains, and a few Lieutenants. A room full of thinkers.
Two instructors work with us to help us grasp theory. Theory - The two main purposes of theory are to explain and to predict. A few of us are feeling a bit woozey!! Our assignment is to come up with a problem (at work) which we can have influence to make change. This is not an easy task.
Our day was finished with a briefing at the library. The NFA library is a very unique and specialized library with its topic specific to our service. I imagine I will be visiting this place once or twice in the next couple of weeks.
My head was spinning by now. This is what was seen when one looked up!
I have limited time to decide. What problem shall I tackle? I query my class mates over a beer and discover some are opting for easy problems - changing a color on their helmet. Updating a policy to reflect better practices. There may be some serious wisdom here. I need to stretch further.
Dead locust on the dorm step. Apparently he had a big problem.
