Having been the commander of the training group I can tell you that this comment constanty arises. Sort of like the "winter ranger" vice "summer ranger" argument. The "Q" course is not conducted in a vacuum, nor is it put together on some ad hoc basis. It is conducted to support developed doctrine as modified by requirements from the all the Special Forces Groups. That is not to say that some ideas and attempts fail to meet the common sense test, but on a whole those running the effort realize that we are not producing corn flakes. You also must realize that the course produces folks that have enough information and skill to get their foot in the door and that training and development never stops with a great deal done by the units to which they are assigned. Also, remember, that those in the school house have a vested interest in producing the best qualified soldier they can because at one time or another most will go back to the groups and have to work with/for those that they produced.
