When I went through in 1971, we had Phase I at Mackall(4 Weeks). I went through this in February. Phase II was MOS- In my case, 05B. I knew code when I got there so it was much shorter for me, I passed 15 WPM and caught a class going for the field training up in Uwharrie. Then on to Phase III- SF tactics (UW). I finished this in June of 1971 and was assigned to the 5th Group. So, as far as training goes, yes, things have changed. But the mission remains the same...

And enough of this Old Guy crap...Age and experience will always win over youth and talent...
