Very true. One of the best events at Scott's course with the Guard was when
we did hands on, and the army crew was assigned to move a huge pile of earth
that a mis-used bulldozer had shoved around, smooth it, and plant it. The
troops worked faster, more efficiently, and with more team spirit than any
group of permies I've ever seen. They got done in half the time allotted, and
then without being asked, repaired the fence the dozer had trashed, set it
back up, and then asked for more to do. Then the Hopi students came over and
sowed seeds over it all.

We could learn a lot about teamwork and spirit from them all.
