[D-plan-net] Bowsprit response

[Reinaldo - PRT]

Tom and all:

 

A lot  has been said of “Why Refocus”. Unless we want to start repeating
ourselves, we should switch to another topic and allow some time for the
PlanComm to work with what has been brought to their attention. 

 

Following your lead, “Why Not”, let’s start a thread on “Operations
Training”. I have the following suggestion: make it an on-line course as the
USCGAUX does with many of their training courses. It can have a ppt.
presentation with the OM as the reference material.  An on-line, e-exam to
be electronically graded would be sufficient proof of having attained a
basic level of knowledge. The course could be separated in modules to
emphasize a particular leadership office or by administrative levels. It is
not to say that we should part with the traditional ways of teaching OT, but
this would be an alternative to those who would prefer to self study the
subject. 

 

By offering the alternative, we may be able to increase the number of
members who become qualified. Besides, we could solve the scheduling
problems and travel inconveniences  for many of the districts and squadrons.

Okay. I spent my supper eating and reading the, let's call it a recap by R/C
Bellinger, recap of the long discussion on Bowsprit (and without any
indigestion!) Looks like it covered an overall review of USPS. GREAT.

Self analysis, once and a while, is healthy. In the past USPS was growing so
fast there was no time to do so. Now, we have been given the opportunity to
take a breath, review and evolve (my favorite adjective for USPS).

 

Now, PlanCom has something to sink its teeth into.

 

With an "electronic thread" out of this discussion, are there any out there
who would like to, under separate cover, address "Operations Training"? I
would. Oh how I'd like to.........
