[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 305518, member: 14204"] Sorry but as continuous process improvement practitioner, I have to respectfully disagree to the "[I]If it ain't broke, don't fix it[/I]" mentality. I hear it a lot in my line of work. Remember the Sony Walkman (late 1970s?) , it was a hit when it first came out and there's nothing wrong with it, yet every year they come up with improvements. [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walkman"]Walkman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/URL] Like many of the LRH members that reloads, they never stopped in just one known good load development. Where I work, we have some very big guns ... ICBMs . The [B]Minuteman-III[/B] was first deployed in 1969 and with the latest upgrades is expected to remain in service through the year 2025 ... with more plans to extend to 2040. We need to respond to the ever changing demands of our times and environment ... whatever the case maybe. Before the Gulf War 1, the US has been preparing a battlefield/scenario in the European theater for many years. That same European trained/prepped forces (I included) was sent to the Saudi deserts (woodland BDUs is not as effective in the desert :rolleyes:). There was a lot of rapid prototyping and wartime crisis planning adjustments to respond to the challenge at hand. Luckily, we have brilliant military leaders at the time and was afforded to do what they do best - win battles decisively. :) God bless our TROOPS! Sorry I got side tracked but just wanted to get that off my chest ... now back to the thread :D [/QUOTE]
