It's been a while since I've posted but I wanted to send an update of the Phase III portion of the SFQC.
Since my last posting on this subject, we have taken on the Warrant Officer basic and advanced course. The MOS phases continue to amaze me with all the "STUFF" we teach here now. Nearly 20 years ago when I attended to Q course, the only guys who pulled a trigger were the 18B's...now every MOS spends at least 3 days (18B much more) executing the first several blocks of CMMS from the SFAUC program. Every student leaves here now with the basic shooting skills to attend a group SFAUC and not need any train up. The cadre are motivated to teach these guys how to shoot and how to shoot properly!
I can safely say that standards are very high and if anyone says different...I will let them know they are mistaken...sorely mistaken! The SFQC is harder then when most of us went through....it's certainly harder then when I went through The 18B MOS is still the toughest course to pass but we have modified some teaching methodologies and we are seeing higher pass rates...this is directly due to cadre efforts and how we present the material.
The cadre are the linchpin to what we do and our success is due directly to their efforts. There is no "Downtime" anymore for cadre in SWC. Those days ARE LONNGGG GONE!
During the last USASOC CSM conference in September, every BN and Group CSM said the guys we are sending them are doing a great job and are very well trained and the CSM's have no problems with them. As long as the force is happy with the warriors we send them, I know I am doing my job but more importantly, they are well trained to keep taking the fight to the enemy..no matter what cave, mosque, or innocent civilan home they hide their sorry asses in!
Thanks...
