I was thinking about the person of the Holy Spirit when two specific experiences of my Basic Military Training came to my mind:

1. Negative and Positive Demonstrations; and
2. Night shoot.

Negative & Positive Demonstrations
During that basic military training, the army instructors would use these two methods of instructions to teach recruits new things; for example shooting the M16 rifle. The instructor would show us the wrong method before he contrasted it with the right one. But the funny thing was the majority of us would eventually end up using the wrong method! Much to the frustration of the dialect speaking, expletive rich instructors!
