Quaid and Ward strike a chord.Congratulations to Majors Quaid and Ward on their article "It's All About the Talent" in the November-December 2006 issue. It is excellent! As a former assistant secretary of the Army, former deputy assistant secretary of the Air Force, and former chair of the DAU DAU - /dow/ [German Fidonet] D"ummster Anzunehmender User. A German acronym for stupidest imaginable user. From the engineering-slang GAU for Gr"osster Anzunehmender Unfall (worst foreseeable accident), especially of a LNG tank farm plant or something with similarly disastrous Board of Visitors, the article hit a strong positive chord. Their message needs to be heeded by the USD USD In currencies, this is the abbreviation for the U.S. Dollar. Notes: The currency market, also known as the Foreign Exchange market, is the largest financial market in the world, with a daily average volume of over US $1 trillion. (AT & L), as well as by the Army, Navy, and Air Force. As long as DoD continues to assign people with modest acquisition training and experience to important acquisition positions, DoD will continue to have the problems that it experiences on major acquisition programs. The military services have outstanding programs for selection, training, and experience of military personnel assigned to important positions in military operations This is a list of missions, operations, and projects. Missions in support of other missions are not listed independently. World War I ''See also List of military engagements of World War I

Professor Emeritus Harvard Business School Harvard Business School, officially named the Harvard Business School: George F. Baker Foundation, and also known as HBS, is one of the graduate schools of Harvard University. I am a recently retired Air Force officer--Systems Engineering, Acquisition type. I now do what I always did for the AF, but in a contractor suit these days. Whatever you do with your journal, I would like to suggest you keep Major Ward and Major Quaid as permanent contributing authors. They have a way of getting to the essence of an issue in a way that is very readable & enjoyable. The first thing I look for in a new issue of Defense AT & L is an article by Ward/Quaid. Many times it is the only thing I read in the journal. It's not just because they are "funny" (and they are), but it is because they hit the bull's eye every time. Their most recent article on "It's All About the Talent" (Nov-Dec 2006) is a perfect example. If I see another commission or report about what is wrong with the acquisition system, I think I will be sick. Anyway, I don't know Don't know (DK, DKed) "Don't know the trade." A Street expression used whenever one party lacks knowledge of a trade or receives conflicting instructions from the other party. if you or the two of them take a lot of grief for what they write--but it is refreshing to see someone tell the emperor he Emperor He (和帝) is the Posthumous name of several Chinese emperors.
