I don't believe that military trainees are unskilled newbies
etc. whatever...

Not the point... it is the excellent writing of military
trainers and tech. writers I speak of with great
respect and affection.

Truly the best pre- WWII even.
Also ala Taylorism of the industrial engineering
school...

Mager refined this style and
took it commercial. I know that some trainers
wish they had the established name of Mager.
Took a prof. that was green w/ envy he
didn't go commercial first.

Was a tech. writer for the CIA....
spooky <oooooo> ;-)
