Having completed Warrior Leader Course in May of this year. I am surprised to say I really did not learn all that much. I felt everything was rushed and no real knowledge was put out. I worked in the orderly room so the paperwork (Awards, Memo's) portion was a snap for me. Other than Land Nav which was a bit of a challenge physically. That hill was no joke! LOL
I really felt like I did not learn anything. I would like to hear other SPC's/SGT's thoughts as if they felt/feel the same way.

I learned jumping from a Blackhawk is much better than a C-130

For my Marines out there, WLC = Sgt's Course. We can compare and contrast experiences with WLC. Let's contribute to SFC Steven Borders discussion.

Thank you Capt Oddman. I wan't sure if the Marines did something similar to WLC. Even though I work with a lot of them. Most are Lance Corporals and Corporals but I never thought to ask them. LOL

I hear you SFC Steven Borders . Those Corporals should be prepping to go to Sgt's Course, if they want to be competitive for promotion, especially as the overall deployment tempo slows down, there will be less excuse not to have gone.

SGM (Join to see) Considering I went through in 2014 I am sure there are a slew of things that have changed. LOL I don't remember anything besides land nav and STX that we did to tell you the truth now. There are even virtual classes now. I haven't had any troops go through it yet. So, I don't know what they are teaching for online besides writing.

You get what you put into the course. I learned a lot about counseling statements as well as learned a lot from each instructor.

I could have easily gone into the Basic Leadership Course not learning anything and take each day and learn only what I needed to learn.

We can all learn from each course if we put the effort into our own learning.
