Jundism

The Motto of Feral Jundi

To be, or to do…-Col. John Boyd

The Goal of Feral Jundi

To educate, to learn, and to stand up for the little guy. To be a force of reform within this industry.

To bring to the table the ideas and solutions that could help out the companies and associations in this industry, and to help out the individual contractor who has chosen this profession.

To bring respect and honor upon this industry by promoting the ideas and concepts that I think will get us there.

To apply Kaizen to the blog and to my writing, and to make this blog a useful reference for all.

To use feedback from my readers as part of my Kaizen plan.

To have fun.

On Grand Strategy-Boyd

Evolve and exploit insight/initiative/adaptability/harmony together with a unifying vision, via a grand ideal or an overarching theme or a noble philosophy, as basis to:
*Shape or influence events so that we not only amplify our spirit and strength but also influence the uncommitted or potential adversaries so that they are drawn toward our philosophy and are empathetic toward our success,
yet be able to
*Operate inside adversary’s observation-orientation-decision-action loops or get inside his mind-time-space as basis to:
*Penetrate adversary’s moral-mental-physical being in order to isolate him from his allies, pull him apart, and collapse his will to resist.

And in Col. John Boyd fashion, these philosophies and ideas are not sacred cows, and this list will more than likely evolve and change over time.
