No one said the training was PowerPoint.

I'm pretty sure that GP just did. Their post was a multi-pronged dig at their time serving - the first being that their training was (mostly?) ppt based, and secondly that sailors are overworked.

  The training is not PowerPoint.

How do you think they deliver this training to enlisted?
- galacticaactual 5y ago
  Have you received training as an enlisted person? Because PPTs are but one - of numerous - ways, to include drills, exercises, and other physical doing.
  - MaximumYComb 5y ago
    Yes, 12.5 years enlisted. I've sat through more dumb PPT's that are a reaction to an incident than I care to remember. With Covid, the model seems to have moved to doing an online course which is a bunch of slides and some multiple choice questions.

      12+ years here. You must’ve been on some shitty details. Thanks for your service.

        Experience varies. I've enjoyed all my postings, some more than others and I don't regret enlisting for a second. But I've certainly seen a lot of reactions to make incidents in the form of watch a video or a PowerPoint presentation. Not so much for proper training.

        The cutting edge in mediocre corporate training at the moment is drawing pictures about experiences based on open ended questions to which no one dares say an answer is wrong but instead passively aggressively use voting via small tags of coloured paper and resulting in nothing aside from a few quotes from self improvement books, and a cake and photo at the end of the day to *celebrate the journey", and that shading stick figure figurines with grey makes them look better. Give me back days of dross PPTs please.

      As a submariner, outside of A school, I got no PowerPoint training. It was all OJT

In the Navy the training is invariably PowerPoint, for officers and enlisted
