SSD1 is as useful as the soldier who takes it makes it. If soldiers actually study, Instead of googling the answers and then bragging about how fast they got done, a lot more of them would find useful info in the course. I believe that it will also be more useful now that BLC is required for promotion to SGT, as there should be less time between completion of SSD1 and BLC. However, most of BLC is directly based on what you learned in SSD1, so even if a lot of time passes, between completion of SSD1and BLC, the instruction at BLC will be jogging your memory, not introducing new concepts. I also understand, that much of what is taught at BLC will be very familiar to most students, however, the material that is familiar or even second nature for a 42a is completely different than the instruction that I (a 12b) was already familiar with. In other words even if the instruction in SSD1 and BLC is redundant for you, it has to be.
As for how difficult it is to complete SSD1 on a personal computer? If you don't have the determination and motivation to overcome a frustration like that, you don't deserve stripes.

I have to admit that I actually did smash a laptop and have to buy a replacement while using ALMS.

I HATE SSD!
It is cumbersome, difficult to navigate and make work, consumes far more time than it should thanks to dumping your answers when it refreshes...
If the Army can ever make a website that can function properly, I will reevaluate my opinion. The content is fine; the execution sucks.
