They even made me go thru the drill in 1979 and I had done hundred or more AAR in the Sluf during my SEA tours. Maybe this was just first AAR in the Block xxx
I also have problems with other aspects of this debacle,

Strikes me that this might be the classic case of a unit receiving a "new-reality" student (I E different training to those that went before due to covid or a change in syllabus) and failing to adapt their expectations? Essentially a failure of supervision, but a really common mistake I've seen several times. Usually make worse by no awareness on the students' parts that they're different to those that came before!
