My brother is going through the current class, I will have to ask him what the poop is going around on this.
When I was picked up to go to NPS, instead of ACSC, everyone was like, "that is too bad. We all know senior leaders go to ACSC, not a sister service school". So my 18 months at an actual academic instituion, where we spent every day working on a degree in NAtional Security Studies, not playing golf, not going through "leadership" courses, etc. We were in the Political Affairs Strategist program. And although ACSC had a PAS program as well, that was "exactly the same as ours", even though their PAS training was a two week TDY to DC to sit through power point slides. Yep that is "exactly the same"
We are starting to reap what we sow. These guys are now "strategist" that have no clue about "strategy". Have no clue about international relations, no clue as to how to deal with our international partners, other than to say. "my way or the highway".
Yep the AF has met the enemy, and it is us. We wonder why our leadership is so incompetent.
