Tried to respond to questionnaire request but no questions appeared. So…In general I find the writing & information provided by CIMSEC authors to be First-Rate & Extremely informative. Every subject covered, presentation & discussion, is well written and very thought provoking.
My lifelong interests include international affairs, Pacific Basin history vis-a-vis the U.S., Naval Service – history, philosophy, equipment, procurement, professional development and evolving threats.
Rants & phrases that set my teeth on edge include: $600 million; 40Kt OPVs, “Multi-Mission”, “Jointness”, “Tri-Service”, “Multi-Function”, “Distributed”, “Long-Range Precision”, “Surgical”…Stop!
CIMSEC is one of my favorite journals. I only regret that there is no Northern California center for meetings.
