Concur in all aspects. I saw your post and needed to vent. I was frustrated (still am somewhat) with the fact that we couldn't deliver to the warfighter what they needed in a timely manner. Cost over runs, missed target deadlines, etc.all because of inexperienced personnel in key positions. Not their fault, especially when pushed by their superiors to fill the vacated slots. Our young engineers were brought in at the higher payscales for their experience levels and within a short timeline were given managerial positions which was crushing their abilities. The maddening part was the talent pool of the SMEs (military) who knew exactly what was needed and couldn't advance because the position required an engineering degree. That was where I worked and the senior/executive management mindset. Have a great day fren!!
Sorry to hear your frustrations - in some ways I can relate, but nothing compares to putting our young men and women in harms way because of egos and incompetence. I think that is criminal, but except for a few cases, very hard to prove and punish appropriately. Although, the best punishment would be to put those people on an active front line unequipped and let them try to deal with it - without putting any regulars in harms way because of their inability to manage a bad situation.
