The Army has eliminated a significant part of its online training for enlisted troops -- a learning program that has drawn the ire of the rank and file for years -- and in effect revamped how it handles enlisted promotions.
Effective immediately, the Distributed Leader Course, or DLC, is discontinued and will no longer be required, the service confirmed to Military.com on Wednesday after an internal briefing leaked to the Army Reddit forum. The roughly 40-hour courses were previously required for enlisted soldiers before they were authorized to attend a noncommissioned officer academy and eventually be promoted. All those courses added up to roughly 250 hours of training at a computer if a soldier completed all of them during their career.

And what say SFC Fuerhoff of the value of these courses? When I was a young enlisted Marine, we were required to take MCI (Marine Corps Institute) correspondence courses. Some would say the courses were worthless, but I found you get as much out of them as you put in. It always fascinated me how Marines would find work-arounds in keeping with the principle "If you're not cheating, you are not trying hard enough", but always thought that ran right up against the principles of integrity and unselfishness.

SFC (Join to see) - I didn't know if you thought they were of any value or not and, since I was not in the army, nor had I taken any of these courses, I thought I might ask the opinion of someone who may have, or at least had interest in the subject enough to post an article about it. Excuse me for asking your opinion, lady.
