“She also correctly advised that “elite” policy makers had no more capability than Americans themselves” Jeane Kirkpatrick advised at the end of the Cold War in 1990 that the world was now multipolar along with a scathing attack on the ideas we could or should expand liberalism to the world and that we were in a Unipolarity with America having writ and America the capacity for such an undertakiing. She also correctly advised that “elite” policy makers had no more capability than Americans themselves had Was she not absolutely right!! “The United States arrives at the end of the Cold War with some obvious assets. We are a powerful, affluent country with real strengths great but limited resources, some bad habits, and a few real problems. We have virtually no experience in protecting and serving our interests in a multipolar world in which diverse nations and groups of nations engage in an endless competition for marginal advantages. This is precisely the kind of world now taking shape. “It has become more important than ever that the experts who conduct foreign policy on our behalf be subject to the direction and control of the people. We should reject utterly any claim that foreign policy is the special province of special people—beyond the control of those: who must pay its costs and bear its consequences”

Today one of the tools we pilots use to navigate is the ILS system, but did you know that system was the result of The Hegenberger System developed in 1932? Read about Albert F. Hegenberger, father of the Hegenberger System: https://lnkd.in/gNxC9YDM

"But, he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke the same cigarettes as me... I can't get no satisfaction!" Rolling Stones "I can't think outside of my tiny paradigm, so I'm going to whine and complain about something I don't understand!" That paradigm, in this case, comes from USMC Boot Camp and his return to instruct. Eventually, most of my videos on Facebook get views in the hundreds of thousands, which is good, but it means stupid comments are sure to be posted. A while ago I posted this brief video of a behind-the-scenes look at individual training and rehearsal for a 1stSgt at Marine Barracks Washington. Oh the whining! Very few are willing to ask questions, and when they do, some appreciate my explanation. When commenters write something like this, they are even less willing to understand my explanation because they absolutely refuse to learn anything but the party line. We need people like this in each service, but we don't need them that way for life. An unwillingness to learn is a dead end. No growth equals stagnation equals obsolescence in some cases. I'm getting a kick out of these #DrivebyComment posts! I hope you are too. No names, these posts are meant to help us all know and understand that some people just refuse to be reached. 🔆Education is 🔑! . 🔹Read your manuals!

I am Bowhead - Joe Kahoe In this video, Joe Kahoe, Business Development Director for UICGS / Bowhead Family of Companies in Colorado Springs, talks about the work he does to develop business opportunities for the company by identifying, qualifying and capturing opportunities, then following through with winning proposals. "Everyone wants to get bombs on target, missiles in the air, and I love winning. We win because we have qualifications across the waterfront of requirements for the government services contracts." Joe served 30 years in the United States Air Force as a pilot flying F-106 and F-16 aircraft, and had this to add about the value of teamwork and organizational culture at #TeamBowhead: "It's a culture in the Air Force that carries over to the culture in Bowhead. We're all pulling together, we've all got each others' backs, and we're providing mutual support. One badge, one fight, one team." Watch the entire video to see what else Joe says about developing business for Bowhead! #ColoradoSprings #airforce #pilot #spaceindustry #missiledefense #Colorado #culture #community #businessdevelopment #teamwork #employerofchoice

Well said... And totally agree: open innovation is messy and not efficient...And that's the beauty of it. Your team has demonstrated that bottom-up (open innovation) is as necessary and can be as relevant as "directed" S&T innovation and probably more valuable. Adaptability is a #culture problem that technology will not solve. It's the speed to embrace change that will be the defining characteristic for relevant military organisations in the future. People create & sustain this culture and Project Mercury Innovators Forum is in my opinion an excellent enabler to facilitate this mindset.
