That ' s exciting , and a great present ! Have fun ! <| sep |> I predict the David Duke Marching Band with Ted Nugent headlining . <| sep |> They play supp all the time . A few days ago double gave adc to stixxay . Qt plays bard all the time . <| sep |> I don ' t think anybody disagrees that people enjoy it . It ' s just those people have a shitty sense of humor . <| sep |> it wasn ' t either or . It was booster plus seasonal now it ' s just seasonal . <| sep |> it was replaced with another one of our post . <| sep |> So there ' s no boruto anime series out yet ? <| sep |> I ' m actually a bot beep boop <| sep |> First , Level I is generally not well executed at the unit level . It is a new member ' s intro to CAP , and we go here , go here , click this , take this online thingy in the LMS , come back to us when you ' re done . If you ' re a selfstarter , thats one thing . Otherwise , you ' re twisting in the wind . Big contributor to issues with member retention setting the stage for future training . SLS CLC are another thing that is either really well executed , or completely screwed up . My old wing , we had at least 2 x SLS CLC per year , at different locations around the state , and run concurrently with one another . You spent the weekend there , and the training was worthwhile . The Wing PD appointed course directors and the course directors pulled in the best instructors they could find , not just whoever they could get . People who were subject matter experts who were in one training class were sometimes borrowed for an hour to cover a subject area in the other , and it worked pretty well . as a CPrated guy , for example , I attended CLC and taught a CP module at SLS running across the hall , thus getting me a teaching credit , tooIn my current wing , the wing PD director believes that he needs to do everything he can do to streamline training . And by streamline I mean run one halfassed SLS a year . Its never scheduled more than 60 days in advance , its poorly advertised and not well attended . Its run as a halfonline , half inperson thing , ostensibly so people only have to drive to wing HQ for one day of training and don ' t have to stay overnight per the PD director ' s concept of ops . The reality is that the online component is read thru these powerpoints available on the national site , and then I will email you a list of questions you can answer by doing a keyword search on the powerpoints , and we ' ll just call it good , mmmkay ? Then , when it comes to the inperson aspect , the instructors are illprepared and asked to participate at the last possible minute , meaning that the training that does occur gets a rep as crappy , death by powerpoint . People act like going to SLS or CLC is a chore or a box to be checked , not a legitimate opportunity to get quality training . The people who need SLS or CLC wind up not getting it because of the slipshod way the training is scheduled and delivered , and overall the wing suffers because even when the training happens , its sure as hell not anything like NHQ ever intended . The good thing about adjusting the PD level completions against the senior grade structure is that some of the stuff you didn ' t get to see until you were a Major , you now get to see as a Captain . A lot of what was in the curriculum for Region Staff College when I attended was stuff I had already spent a fair amount of time teaching as an instructor to either SLS or CLC , or Region Cadet Leadership School , so I was totally conversant in it , but my fellow students were only seeing this for the first time in CAP as Majors . Fully 85 % of the RSC curriculum was real basic level interpersonal commuinications type stuff that 1 st Lts needed to be seeing , not Majors striking for Lt Col . some of this has changed in the interim , at least as far as RSC , but by the time you ' re a CAP Major , you should be very conversant in stuff like uniform wear and that kind of stuff , so why reinforce it there ? A lot of it was basic course stuff that I would expect every CAP officer should have at least a conversational knowledge of before they ' re released into the wild with bars on their shoulders or put in charge of a squadron
