Back to Legacy?

timesalmostup · 12-10-2007, 20:17

Im headed to the Q in February and have heard a rumor that they are changing back to the legacy language program, instead of breaking it into blocks. Is there any truth to this? Has anyone heard anything?

Yes - or at least I've heard the same rumor from reliable sources. I don't know when it becomes official. You've got more important things to be concerned about right now.

Is it going to affect your attendance to the Q course?

Peregrino is right...Language is step 67 in a lifelong process...so far you have done steps 1-3.

Something to learn early-RUMORS cause nothing but trouble. Don't spread them, or participate in them. You will be viewed in a much better light by those you deal with.

Understood, I was just trying to clear it up, as one of the first steps is Language Block 1, but I understand and will drive on. Thanks for the advice.

"THEY" have also been saying SUT would be shortened, and this and that for quite some time. Lesson: students perpetuate, create, and love rumors regarding the course.

That is wrong information SUT is actualy getting longer nothing is set in stone . But we are looking at bringing back land navigation lanes and train up with the SUT cadre that will be walking with that class. prior to actual intro to SUT this is in hope you will pass your patrols later on. We are seeing a trend latly of poor land navigation skills even in the 11B ranks.

People rely on GPS toooooo much. I have seen a lot of that in the last few years. We had a team here in the fall and when the GPS died not a one had a compass and protractor. Thank god the old retired guy was out there with his solar charged compass and plastic nav aids.

EDITED to add: I was not Team bashing just pointing out that You need a good foundation in the basics and you can never have enough LandNav training. This is where More is always better. If you can not get to and from a TGT you can not send them to their maker. Back to the Basics is always good and Technology is not always a solution. Gentlemen get as much as you can and keep practicing it through out your time on a team and later in life.
