And that's a fact. Training, be it cross-training, refresher, or new, is a never ending process. There are certain things you just never forget, but then-especially for folks like me- as you move on to other responsibilities requiring new skill sets or different perspectives skill set maintenance training in base knowledge and specific MOS team skills becomes more important to keep your focus on ensuring that what you do will continue to enable the troops to succeed without having to adjust to stupid decisions made echelons above their pay grades. That means that as their skill sets change you need to change with them and upgrade your brain housing group hard drive, after all you are still first and foremost a special forces soldier everything else has to do with position requirements on a TOE document.

As a former 18E myself, I never really felt overwhelmed with material at the Q with the exception of Radio wave propogation and antenna theory. Mr. Barrett has forgotten more about that art than I will every know, yet he was convinced he could cram all of that knowledge into our heads in a one or two week time period... painful. I've wondered what it was like back in the day when there was no powerpoint or even overhead projectors. Seems like there would be a lot less "filler" material populating the poi and more down to earth classes that would take less time. Some of you "seasoned" guys could probably pipe in on that one. :D

No sh!t!
