I wonder about keeping the same guys on the same training ODA throughout the QC. I'm not saying it's right or wrong...

What popped into my mind was the interaction you get with all the other students. SF candidates have varied backgrounds and experiences and I think part of the collateral learning that goes on in the QC is the students learning from each other. So, with that logic, more student interaction might be a good thing...

Of course, I see the other side of the coin as well. Having the same guys on your training ODA the whole time means they will develop as a team, get a better grasp of the team mentality and other positive aspects I can't think of right now.

Anyway, my 2 cents.
