No Time, Literally, for All Requirements

Everyone laughs at me when senior leaders come to visit, and they ask "what keeps you up at night" or "what can we do to fix the Army" and this is what I consider the number one priority - removal of 350-1 training.

It costs money (presumably to keep the programs running), and I actually have a clerk dedicated to processing, tracking, and harassing people about online/F-to-F training. And of course it will get briefed at command and staff and similar meetings (QTB, etc) and red will stand out.

What we try to do to stay on top of it is pick a date 2-3 weeks out, and pick 3-5 online training certificates, and then email out the list and it's a COB release condition that day. We have somewhat stayed on top of it with this method, but it's a killer. I'd rather be conducting actual training but instead we essentially have to release Soldiers to their rooms or the library because we only have four computers for about 75 Soldiers (not including the ones like myself and the commander that have our own computers).

How do you deal with it at your unit? What is your input if you are a junior Soldier? Anyone have advice (we can't disobey really, although we have as a larger unit accepted some risk in some areas)?

Sadly none of these studies really incorporate other things like PHAs, ISOPREPs, updating DD93/SGLi into their removal of training days.
