Cross checking what I've gleaned from all the years at Bragg

- Would you rate the TL scene of selling the team a good one with his solid grasp of the tribal politics and weather constraint?
Cross thread reference to a thread here of what makes a good O is being a solid liaison to the higher up

- Is the TL expected to lead charge and all gung ho in an ODA?
Those scenes seem against all the 18As' advice given to me. They emphasized their primary weapon system are the radio and 10 to 12 hard charging professions. I imagine a good TS would have yanked the rambo TL back?

I've received my own dose of reality check when I showed off my knowledge and proficiency on what the bravo, Charlie, and delta do to an SF turned SMU SGM. He stopped me right there, told me he already got all that in the team, and that what he really needed is a good O.

Thank you for the education
