Teaching an old dog new tricks?

Article Abstract:

A former US Marine Corps captain who volunteered to serve in Fallujah, Iraq, on an advisor support team nine years after leaving active service found that being reacquainted with the Corps was simultaneously familiar and like walking into a greatly evolved and unfamiliar territory. He lists the Corps' list of leadership traits and principles that collectively, and sometimes painfully, helped him understand his responsibilities as a Marine, a leader and as an advisor.
