I would very much like to know your take on why the Navy has this knack. I'd like to research what it takes to reproduce that knack by other organizations, in other fields of endeavor.

When you say "bright people", how does an ASVAB VE+AR+MK+MC=252 broadly approximate to percentile?

I'm also curious how the Navy selects for people who can apply that brightness over sustained periods of time.
