Beags,
Sorry, going back to your point about course design. You are, of course, absolutely spot on, the course should be taylored for the average student and include all the skills required for Bloggs' arrival on his or her first squadron. If a little extra can get a low or below average mate through, then that too is a good thing. If there are high ave studes, there must be low ave ones too.
My point about never enough hours was more about the final stages of pre-OCU training, where hours have been progressively stripped over the years. Big mistake.
Yes, we've all seen the bitter and twisted instructors, but in the main I think most do the job pretty well. Actually, even the complete b'stards did OK by
me in retrospect.
Fox 3,
You mean you weren't????
Ein Teddywidderkaninchen - scoop two out and they would make a lovely pair of slippers.
I still say training should be challenging.
