[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 4201504, member: 13337"] The USAF has the second highest rated occupational education on the planet,,, Second to the USN only because of their nuclear reactor programs. Both agencies take a HS graduate from Podunk, USA,,, And turn him or her into an entry level jet engine mechanic in less than a year I went through the USAF Instructor Academy,,, We actually had more "butt in seat" time,,, Than for my BS at OK State University. One of the adages we often used was very similar,,, [B]Watch a task, Do that task, Teach that task.[/B] Basically, if you could teach someone else how to do a thing,,, Then [B]you [/B]truly understood how to do that thing. Einstein was credited with saying: "If you can't explain what you are doing to a five year old,,, Then you really don't understand it yourself." That was a paraphrase,,, I don't remember the exact quote. But it's true as all get out,,, My 4-year old namesake and his 6-year old sister challenge me. They both ask me about stuff all the time,,, Of course my answers to them lack fine details,,, But the challenge is to simplify my answers to their queries. Aarond . [/QUOTE]
