Dive School

[jw]

Ok,
What's this I'm hearing about (EOD) Dive School being shortened to 3 weeks. What's the reasoning other than to push more students through.

BMF, have they re-instated PT at Eglin?

did you hear that from?

WHAT THE FUCK? I have heard they are trying to reduce the school by three weeks. (as in 10 weeks instead of the current 13.)
I haven't heard shit about it being three weeks. Sounds like a mis- communication. They are on the other hand - trying to figure a way to push TWICE the number of students through, in less time, with fewer instructors and the same funding. whatever......

PT sounds like it will be on the comeback soon. Perry is working the issue pretty hard.

I have 2 weeks left and have officially adopted the short timers attitude. Everything is just peachey....

Sorry guys, jet lag. That was supposed to be 6 weeks. That was from the new Techs arriving.

Bob D. is coming over to my house for BBQ tomorrow night I'll ask him WTF. Just talked to Steve Marshall the other day and he didn't mention anything about it, but then again, noone tells me shit anymore. I sit in my cubicle and collect dust........

Wow.

Dive school is going down to 9 weeks, they're cutting out the search/Dukane/2A/MCM portion, since you do that anyway during the underwater phase at Eglin. At least that's the ESC's mentality.........

That sounds a little better. 6 weeks just sounded too short.


BMF,
Tell Mark I said hi. He'll give you a good run down of 8. If there is anything I can do, just let me know.

[bmf]

Thank bro. He has already given me a good run-down. Now if I can get through SPECWAR comms without failing out I'll be locked on.....
