Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 5

[Shannon]

The thing that gets me with PE is that I think it should be combined with OED. Just train the soldier to stand up strong and stay at attention for as long as needed, deal with any GSF that's preventing this. Having just either one function seems lacking, and increasing both a bit would seem to directly add on top of each other. Maybe one deals with the other as well, but how to know which one to spend 8 months on? Running both is too much time invested into this one area, since there's other programs like LTU to run also.

Sure there could be other related titles, but IMO these two seems more like intertwined, and focus is a virtue.

Not everyone has ED.  Not everyone wants or needs to use OED.  The solution is to create PE, OED and a combination of the two.  Or just keep them as separate goals.  We will figure that out when the time comes.
