This hung in my classroom for 5 years as a Professional Military Education (PME) instructor during my ALS (Airmen Leadership School) and NCOA (Non-Commissioned Officer Academy) duty: "Son, we live in a world that needs PME, and that PME has to be taught by instructors with lesson plans. Who's gunna do it? YOU? I have a greater responsibility than you can possible fathom! You weep for washouts and you curse the curriculum. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, educates Airmen (capital A). You don' want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about in parties, you want me in that classroom. You NEED me in that classroom! We use words like cognitive objectives, affective learning, summative evaluations. We use these words as a backbone of a life spent teaching something. You use them as a punch line! I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to one who rises and sleeps under this very blanket of education I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just say "Thank you" and be on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a dry erase marker and stand your post. Either way...(Fill in the blank) I know each career field had their own version of this for the tasks... What was yours? :) 😎 #USAF #nco #airmen #moviequote #mondaymotivation #thisactuallyhappened
