Stupidity

I just got back from a month of training, at a "Leadership Development Course", which the army thought would be cool to label the "Warrior Leader Course". Yeah, lemme tell ya how much more I feel like a warrior.....grrrrr!!! Anyways, a few months ago they decided that they were wasting time and changed the 30 day course to a two week course, eliminating some things that were deemed unnecessary. All went well, and people loved it, until they decided for no apparent reason to change it back to 30 days. So, to make a long story short, I have never learned so little in so much time. Too often over the past month I found myself with a poorly made broom in my hand, sweeping the parking lot...yes, THE PARKING LOT. And of course, the only reason we had to do that was because we were done with the required training for the day, but because it would be too nice of them to give us any free time whatsoever, they had us sweep the parking lots to burn time. So, needless to say I had a great time while I was gone.
