..........You stated that you hated your time "in the cut" - yet you learned some valuable lessons as a result. My question is, even though lessons were learned, you hated it - can you develop some other form of "new member education" that would teach the same lessons, and remove the hatred? Would members get more out of the education with the fear and intimidation factor removed?
i also "hated" doing physical training in the mornings when i was in the military. Just because i "hated" it mean that it should be taken out. I hated the 30 mile road marches. i hated the after duty hours "ceremonies" in the barracks. Maybe i used the term "hate" too loosly. I felt "fear and itimidation" before i jumped out of an airplane or rappelled out of a helicopter. Did going thru those things make me stronger? Maybe, maybe not.
