Re: Night Ops Gladius Preorder Instructions
Kevin,
Healthy skepticism is that healthy.
I always find myself in the back of any classroom or training event, running a myriad of what ifs, how comes, no way, etc. etc.
What needs to keep in constant view is that we resist change. We have powerful egos.
An entire treatise could be written of the pros and cons of this built-in software package.
The challenge is to honestly and fairly evaluate new concepts. Let them soak in sub-conscious mind for a while. The mind is looking for integration within the previous established construct we have accepted.
As a trainer in our fairly mind and physically intensive courses, I found that if I can just get people to take a few minutes to open the gate to evaluating new ideas (read not accept everything I am saying as THE truth or THE way) but learn to take new ideas and adapt them to their particular mission requirements, what I have done is open the pathway to actual future improvement.
The funny thing although we resist change on one powerful front we need change. We are easily bored. If nothing changed we would literally go insane. It is a strange paradox.
So, this is a change. Let is soak in and fairly evaluate it after directly handling the new approach and associated hardware.
If it not for you, there are many excellent pre-existing alternative solutions. Far be it from me to tell you what you need or actually require under duress.
I do know this, that I have trained people for several decades now to do things they previously believed was not possible under duress.
The Gladius is reflection or physical manifestation of this journey.
Okay, I will get off my little step stool pulpit.
This has been an EXCELLENT thread!
BYW, I have updated the Overview/Spec sheet as a result of a few comments here, trying to answer a couple of legitimate concerns. Basically trying to explain the system a bit more clearly.
