These types of training tend to be very specific, and certainly do not involve questioning chain of command.
This is why he immediately noticed things like possible surveillance, but it took him much longer to question the mission and his commanding officer.

- sneak 5y agoI think a lot of the external view of the NSA's training is tinted by Snowden's books and writing. It is important to remember that Snowden was also CIA before he worked at NSA, and went through full CIA training for CIA staff stationed in foreign embassies (he was in Geneva, and I think Japan?).
