do people who say "backbrief" think it means something different to "brief"?
-
@liamvhogan @trib yeah that's something different. Imagine a situation where your boss tells you "Liam, I want you to plan this thing" and you go away and come up with a few ideas on how it might be achieved. When you go back to run those ideas past your boss for a decision the ADF would call that a "backbrief"
-
@liamvhogan @trib yes, this has dawned on me today.
-
@Kels_316 @liamvhogan "the ADF" <- see, here's your problem. Military language, like cop language, and even management speak (and various single-industry equivalents like <cough> design <cough> /raises hand ) is there to make insiders feel like part of an exclusive club who have access to secret knowledge.

@liamvhogan @trib it's wild that in the 90s the army had field manuals, precises, pamphlets, and training notes. Now they have "doctrine"
-
@liamvhogan @trib they love it
-
@liamvhogan @RanTLaw @trib funny you should say this because the ADF has rebranded it's 'capstone doctrine' as 'philosophical doctrine'
