No different today than when my T-37 IP sat us down when we hit the line and explained the syllabus and the MIF requirements. We new what we'd be learning when and the level of performance for each block.

Professional pilots don't come in unprepared for a sim or sortie. Just my humble opinion.

As a former military IP, I have sat guys down and not done the event when the stud was obviously not prepared. I've also flown them to then proceed to hammer them in the debrief if the issue continues. Some saw the light. Others became something other than pilots.
