Having worked in the corporate and educational worlds for a while, I must say that I usually appreciate working for someone with military experience, even if that experience is as a junior officer. They tend to be a bit more grounded in reality - and leadership - "than the average bear."

That said, my new evening school administrator is a retired US Army Master Sergeant. He is a breath of fresh air. Direct. To the point. No BS. (Of course, he was sort of chased away from "regular" admin into the "end of the road" assignment as evening school principal. It seems the regular admin (all women, hmmmmm) couldn't deal with him insisting on an agenda, sticking to the agenda, and staying away from non-school issues. (By the way, he has never said a word about any of this. I got this from my "sources" - always befriend admin. assistants.)

Their loss is my gain!
