You know, as much as everyone says that, some
judicious volunteering is ocassionally useful.	I got
the day more or less off (shepherding kindergarteners
is downright relaxing if you don't have to do it day
in and day out, even if the little hooligans were
wired up from it being the day before the lost day of
school) as a result of volunteering.

For which see S L A Marshall's book.  Yes, I disagree

However, the use of popup targets and regular
force-on-force exercises has largely solved this
problem for US troops. . .
