Education, like camouflage, is continuous

Article Abstract:

The need to devise a professional military education (PME) system by the Senior Leader Development Program (SLDP) is addressed, as it could help in shaping the senior PME continuum that identifies several sets of competencies including warfighting, executive-level leadership, joint and coalition operations, transformation and change management. The SLDP proposes to evaluate each new PME opportunities and make recommendations regarding whether any new course is worthy of inclusion as a core or complementary course.

Killer waves

Article Abstract:

There were at least three deaths caused by big-wave surfing in the mid-1990s, and many other near mishaps. The deaths have caused concern in the surfing community, but some view the danger as alluring while others simply adopt a more fatalistic approach to the sport.
