After spending 6 years in the US Air Force out in the “real world” – I had a job as a trainer. Yes, I traveled the world from Europe, to an island in the Indian Ocean, and yes, to an island in the Bering Sea. I loved the travel. But more, I loved training. Working with the people to help them understand a difficult software system.

We traveled and installed systems (the hardware and software) and I trained the operators how to use the new system. The thing that always amazed me was how during each and every single class that I could learn something about a software package I thought I knew inside and out. We think we know the “way” to do something. But another can look and the same thing and do it very differently. Not wrong by any stretch – just another route. I loved the training, working shifts with the operators.

This makes me think of a quote, and I don’t know by whom, “If we keep going down the same old road, how will we get anywhere else”.  In other words – if we continue to do the same things that got us where we are today – then how can we expect tomorrow to be any different.  Hope is great – but there has got to be some action on our part. 

I hope you’ll think about that and maybe I’ve it a chord….

It was a great time in my life and I’m glad of the experience.
