---I whole heartedly agree. If there is a commander like NTCs Sr.
Guide, than he has no business being with our boys. A person
to that extreme should have been spotted way in advance.
Maybe a mirror image is not correct. However, to discover even one
element of his extreme personality in us is not difficult to fathom.
This should trigger (I hope by the Holy Spirit) some self examination.
I know, I did and discovered I can do things a little better than I had.
A side note: The reality is that there are some out there that
are like NTCs Sr. Guide. I met a couple of them at NTC/ANTC
that I wouldn't even have in my house, let alone near my boys.
Their lack of people skills shows more of their character than
they think. Some of the grumpiest and cynical people I ever met.
That may seem callous but they're out there and they have no
business being with our boys.

---I agree, more time should have been spent explaining. Mr. Riecher is
a
fine man.

Thank you Kyle for the feedback.
