Son, we live in a world that has PowerPoint. And those slides need to be produced by men with oak leafs. Who's gonna do it? You? You with a bar?

I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for my briefings and you curse my formatting. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know; that my briefings, while drawn out, probably save lives.

You don't want the truth. Because deep down, in places you don't talk about, at meetings, you want my presentations. You need my presentations. We use words like diagram gallery, paste special, clipboard . . . we use these words as the backbone of a job spent briefing something. You use them as a punch line!

I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain why I formatted an object to a man who briefs and gets promoted by the very presentation I make, then questions the way in which I format it!

I'd rather you just said ‘Thank You’ and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you make your own slides, and give the briefing. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think the slide should say.

Exercise DisciplineExercise Discipline• Script a robust option for a ‘PAUSEX’ and ‘ENDEX’

– Pause the Exercise (PAUSEX)• When the real world intrudes temporarily you need to have a mechanism

to pause the exercise until the real world event passes; then resume• Also concludes each day of a multi-day, non-continuous exercise

– End the Exercise (ENDEX)• When there is an unsafe situation or a real world intrusion is not

temporary you need to have a mechanism for an unscheduled end to the exercise; no resumption

• Also concludes the overall exercise

• Don’t script the training audience responses– Anticipate likely responses; have MSELs to respond to decisions

• Remind the training audience not to fight the exercise scenario; just respond to the event

The Exercise Value PropositionThe Exercise Value Proposition

• It is a training event; don’t focus on compliance• It is comprised of numerous teachable moments

– exploit the opportunities!• It is a simulation only of the event; not of the

response – Realism optimizes the training –‘Make ‘em sweat!’

• It is not ‘business as usual’• It must be part of your usual business

• It is a training event; don’t focus on compliance• It is comprised of numerous teachable moments

– exploit the opportunities!• It is a simulation only of the event; not of the

response – Realism optimizes the training –‘Make ‘em sweat!’

• It is not ‘business as usual’• It must be part of your usual business
