I apologize for that wording sir. I do not believe the order in which training occurs will have any bearing on weather or not we succeed. I was simply trying to inform those who might like to know of the change. I assure you that no matter what phase of training comes first or last I'm going to put forth 150%. I apologize for coming off as someone that questions the system to much. It will not happen again.

How about keeping things to yourself?
 

How about simplifying things not coming on here posting scuttlebutt about what you think might happen?
Once it happens, everyone who needs to know will know at the appropriate time. At this point all it does is add more unanswerable questions to other potential candidates, or people in the course who are behind you. This then leads to more speculation and the inevitable "I read on the internet that such and such was going to happen". To say NOTHING of how annoying it is as an instructor to have your students lead off a question with the same statement.

"Early access" to unofficial, incomplete information does not place you in a better light here or anywhere else. It places you on the hook if it is incorrect, only partially correct, or if it changes again altogether and you were not privy to the updated info.
We have plenty of folks who are in the position to KNOW both what is going on and when it should be disseminated.

Sometimes partial / incomplete information is best kept to yourself.

mac, this is not directed at you specifically, but rather to all of the kids who seem to think that getting the latest scuttlebutt about the course will ensure their success.

I would reread "A Message to Garcia", and worry less about the sequence of the events, or how many days they might be, or what was added or dropped, and more about setting my mind to the task immediately at hand, no matter what it might be, while making sure that I was in the best mental and physical condition possible.

At some point in the SFQC (as in life), knowledge of the course ahead will not sustain you, but indomitable human spirit and refusal to quit will.

Best of luck.

I fully understand both your statements, and I will take them to heart. Moving out

Again, TR distills it down to a single concise nugget.
