A lot of comments were made about the Career course preparing you for command. It’s been a few years, but as I recall them telling us at the Logistics career course is that the course wasn’t there to prepare you for command. It was to develop more tools and get you ready for the next phase of staff work. I do agree that more should be spent on the command portion, but what I learned unfortunately in command was either from my previous experience or just straight OJT like most positions.

I don’t know that they could condense everything you may need to know as a commander into the course without lengthening it. If it is to prepare us for command then the POI should change to take out the unnecessary portions and insert command type training.

I agree with most of the other comments about self development a nd a recharge. I don’t know that I could have done well in my follow on unit if I didn’t have some reconnect and downtime prior to getting there.
