It seems that a lot of the training we do is mandated and does not meet the unit needs outside of a rule saying all SM will attend this training.

I won't forget doing SSD III and having to go through a PowerPoint training on proper D&C for a flag detail. As if a Soldier learns anything about D&C by watching dots move. Some training needs to be done face to face.

I was in 1968 - 1972, and we had a lot of mandated training that was to check the box.
