I find sims and line checks that naturally become tailored to me are very useful, I’m not hating on in person training. And I would probably dislike it less if it wasn’t going to force us all to travel to VA Ave, I think that’s the kick in the shorts too far for me.
Does seem like they could do this in each base. At least at the SLC center.
I did the ‘In Command’ the first time I upgraded. Nobody has come looking for me to attend another class since. Put this as someone’s good idea that will pass in a year or two…
