Do you think there are conflicting attitudes when grads enlist in the military? I was fascinated when I read this post in the WSJ - http://bit.ly/8ZOU6s - It talks about all the praise that's given to grads going to elite colleges, but when a grad enlists, the reaction isn't the same and parents often announce it without the same grandeur. What do you think?

Thanks for all these great perspectives. So interesting to read and mull over. I love examining our preconceptions and learning more perspectives.

'What the f___ is this? I didn't sign up for any of this killing and dying s___! Let me out of here!"
That's when we tackled his ass, dragged him back into the bunker, and the platoon sergeant grabbed him by the collar, and bellowed (and was heard above the gunfire and shelling), 'What part of Army, soldering, killing, bleeding and dying didn't you understand, little boy?"
Needless to say, he was on the return flight to the States, with an other than honorable discharge.

Posted this on my blog today, and wondered what others curious about generational differences think. Have you noticed a marked difference in the older vs. younger? What do you think are key characteristics?

Difficult, but very important to isolate causal variables. Also to be mindful of the reliability and validity of the measuring instruments.
What is "their"? Is this a training or performance intervention? If so, measurement and evaluation should be built into the intervention design. If so, the Kirkpatrick Model and Philips are ROI might work well. Yes, I am aware of the implications and criticisms of each model!

I spoke to a boomer/genx cusper last week. He believes high Gen Y turnover is good for large industries. Curious to what folks in here think
Tyler Hayes:
I think high turnover is good for many industries. Keeps things fresh, the ones that want to stay will. Otherwise, motivates productivity!

Tyler, how do you make up for a serious brain drain in small business though? Does the rotational exodus only work in large businesses?

I'm a Gen Y and really just loved the name of this group. Lol. Although I'm feel that I feel I can relate better to Boomers than GenX
Tom Guarriello:
Just came to me in an inspirational flash! Felt like the right tone for us here. I hear lots of X/Y comm problems. Not uncommon.

Carrie, that's probably because we have more in common when it comes to our values. Our values are developed during our adolesence..

I like Rebecca's comments. My 3 youngest are 20, 25, 26. My oldest daughter (29) looks at her little sister like she's from another planet.
Tom Guarriello:
Seeing one another as hailing from different planets seems common. How do we overcome these reactions to focus on our similarities?

Lastly, I'm going to leave the group, because I don't want to be that bitchy Xer who tries to move in on your discussion. Toodles!
