These past couple weeks have been rather full. I am currently enrolled in a leadership/management course. It is called Airman Leadership School (ALS), for anyone who does not know.

     Its a little over a month long and they are putting in a lot of information. Mainly the course is to prepare us for the next rank and becoming lower management. In one of my classes we were talking about how lucky we are to have the course.

     The instructor brought up the fact that out in the civilian world you don't get the training like this. Is that true? I mean I know some businesses send their employee's to seminars or conferences. Does anyone actually put them through a management course or is it up to the individual?

   I was just very interested to find out if what my instructor had brought up was completely true or if things have changed. Because I know with Silver State Helicopters alot of the training is covered through the company, but you pay them back through your work. Then again I know that is for the initial pilot training.
