I was highly amused to discover the YouTube channel of The Doctrine Man. The author's take on modern military life is a hoot! Much of it is new since my time in uniform, but the basic principles of obfuscation, ass-covering, bureaucrats and BS don't seem to have changed at all. I daresay a legionary of Roman times could watch these videos (in Latin, of course) and laugh right along with us!
As a sample of what you can expect, here's 'Doctrine Man's Top Ten Military Terms'. (NOTE: Language and vocabulary alert for those who aren't used to military-speak.)
The Doctrine Man has many more videos for your entertainment. Particularly recommended for military and veteran readers.

I find those 10 terms have application in the industrial workplace too. I was able to find a matches from memory to nearly all those! :)

ReplyDeleteThe command guidence video brought back bad memories.
