It's just phenomenal the amount of **** in Art's brain.

Even more phenomenal is that he always ends up getting all the
attention that he so desperately seeks. Just like Tarver, it doesn't
matter if the attention Kramer gets is good or bad attention, as long
as SOMEONE is paying attention to him!

Being an Instructor has very little to do with combat. Many combat vets
take awhile before they can become effective teachers. They tend to be
perfectionists, and are used to crews who are their peers. Once back at
the training center, the pace and mistakes cause them to wash students
out. We had one guy who washed his first three students out, and the
board reinstated all of them with a new instructor. The bad instructor
was sent packing.

Many outstanding golf instructors will never compete on the PGA level,
but guys like Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer or Tiger Woods would never
have become champions without the expert guidance and critiques from
their instructors.

An effective teacher doesn't necessarily have to have "been there
and done that."
