I'm away for the rest of the week. Getting ready for the weekend with the army cadet force i mentioned last week. Meeting my mate learning faces of troublemakers, meeting the other instructors for some social events and getting kit signed out.

My US Military History class is the best class that could ever be taught. It's taught by a 19 year army veteran, supposedly around 7 years as an officer in the special forces. The first two weeks were all leadership/general army composition type stuff, now we're moving onto the American Revolution and leadership evaluations. The final exam is actually going to be a 6 day board game staged in south Iraq consisting of a battle between coalition forces and Iraqi insurgents. The hierarchy of leadership for the final exam battle is based off of what you do in class, usually influenced by grades, but mainly by what kind of work you do and the stuff you learn from the class (which is a lot more than is actually graded work). I'm working my way up the chain, but I'm still just an E-4. Course, there's only been one promotion opportunity so far.

I'd guess the reason that the class is so awesome is a combination of the topic of the course, the fact that the teacher is a cool guy, and the fact that the teacher knows how to teach really well.

So the guy's about 37-38? That sounds cool. How's the board game work?

[Mars]

He was 12 when he became an officer in special forces?

[Colonol Dekker]

I don't know too much about the mechanics of it yet, but from what I know, it will be played with the 20 sided dice system, sorta like DnD. The people in command have their own command squad, and can essentially tell their underlings (people who suck more at the class) what to do with their squads. I do know that a few years ago, someone managed to roll a natrual 20 and hit an F-16 with an RPG rocket, and that grading is not based off of success (the US side lost 5 of the last 7 battles), but of efficiency of leadership.

Naturally, I'll post all about it once I start doing it, which should be about mid-January 2009.
