i knew this post was the oldest one west of the missouri river but you are right, it is totally different then i was expecting.
there is a lot of repeat from other courses I have taken but, like all classes, there is some new interesting stuff too. its very comfortable to be back in a real army community instead of a civilian community on a military base. and, not having all my normal distractions (xbox, work, life) i am able to concentrate on the training well. this is not a competitive course, grading wise, its a pass and you learn at your own pace course but I could tell from day one that I am one of the natural leaders in the class. Its funny, its a leadership class and myself and only about four or five others appear to be the only natural leaders in the class. A lot of the people seem to only be leaders because they were placed in the position. oh well, the learning experience will hopefully allow them to open up and embrace the job they now hold.
