So far, no one at ACSC can explain to me exactly what I'm supposed to get out of it beyond a general sense that eduction helps build problem solvers. We have the most educated force in history and we're losing wars, so I'm not sure education = problem solving. I won't thread derail anymore than simply saying that ACSC is not worth a year of my time off the line while ops units are short on experienced pilots and the nation is losing wars.
Should we consider talking with someone from another AFSC "PME"? I don't discount the value in those interactions, but doesn't that speak to ACSC's lack of effectiveness from an academic point of view if that's the best thing you get out of the course?
I wonder why Air University doesn't do an end-of-career PME survey to figure out what our PME needs to be. I would think if you asked every retiring O-5 and above about their PME experience throughout their career, what they needed versus what PME taught them, etc., AU would get a lot of useful feedback.
Check out Military Arms Channel on Facebook, they hope to have one reviewed in the very near future.
Apparently it's been done before, copying off a paintball guns set-up. There's a debate as to whether it is worth the money/trouble.
Anytime I can talk to another AFSC in I learn a lot more about the AF than my Cyber stuff. It's helped me execute my mission better because I now know how it impacts the other parts of the base/mission. Even better if it's in a relaxed/low-threat environment.
KIKR hasn't existed for several years as an identifier. It's KABQ. If you are on base, avoid being lodged in Bldg 1911. If you are off base, stay north of Central and East of I-25 to avoid the most shady parts of town (South Valley). Even better to be north of I-40, but Nob Hill is a decent enough place.
