you've packed a rucksack before, yes? same principle applies...
i've been on the other end of POI changes...someone has a bright idea, sounds good, be nice to do, etc., etc., etc...the next thing you know, a seventeen week POI (IOBC in this case) grows to 26 weeks...then some personnel guy sees it and hits the fan because there are too many people in the pipeline and manning levels reach some sort of critical (for the personnel types) threshold...as an instructor and student, you wind up adapting as you go, enduring change as you instruct or go through the course and in the end, the product (the trained soldier) almost always is capable of passing muster...as a Marine buddy of mine used to say (regarding the Corps) Semper Gumbie...
