 :[[UBF Shepherd Training Model]] -- "hamster wheel"
-::The training model in UBF is passed on verbally, for the most part. There are some actual training documents, but these are few and far between. The documentation does exist confirms the idea of a hamster wheel training model. In other words, the UBF training has no end point. Once you reach a certain level, you just start all over again, being re-birthed again and again. Because of this, most UBF members have a difficult time maturing into adulthood. They may be 60 years old, but have the social interaction skills of a teenager. They often have a frozen, age-regressed self stuck in time--the time they first began UBFism in their college years.

		+	::Anyone brave enough to interact with UBF will need to understand the UBF strategy. This took me a long time to figure out. The closest strategy I can find is in the Chinese folklore tale of the Three Kingdoms. I often heard senior UBF Koreans speak highly of this folklore. I once heard Chang Woo Lee share his admiration of these stories. The strategies in Three Kingdoms is remarkably similar to what I personally experienced in my interactions at UBF.
