I am currently assigned to the pipeline and, let me tell you, I don't even want to think too much of how we feel about many of these changes. You know who really knows what works in the pipeline? The actual cadre. You know who comes down to us and asks for our input? No one. At least, I have never heard of it. What they need is an "instructor conferrence" in SWC and use that information to make changes. Then, they should go back to the those instructors and discuss the changes to be implemented. It's all about trusting that the cadre know what they are doing and know what they are talking about.

If the instructors had their way, assessment would probably be a lot more like what it was around 2000 - 2001, but with better standards of measurement (that would have been some real improvement). SUT would be more like Ranger School in as far as the "gates" are concerned (fail "land nav", you are 'out of here', for example). And, for crying out loud, there should not be a single Soldier in SUT that can't climb a freaking rope! I've seen that far too often already. What the heck are we coming to! We are in the middle of a damn WAR! We need warriors! OK, I feel better now.
