There have been some recent reports about some changes done with ACCP. Since ATAI hasn't taken the time to update their site informing soldiers of this new change (it's only been two weeks, they must still be debating how to write it like a technical manual so no one understands it) I am hoping to help get some answers by doing what we do best. Working together.
At this point in time we can do nothing more than speculate as to what is really happening. To help eliminate some of the rumors and hopefully shed some light on this issue we ask that anyone who knows anything about the changes to participate in the current discussion in our forum.
We still stand by the fact that ACCP is a waste of soldiers time and neglects us from receiving proper training that might save a life in a combat situation. Knowing how to play a musical instrument, twirl a baton in the next parade, or setup the chapel for Sunday mass are not common tasks for a soldier. Yet this is what they insist we learn?
These same worthless courses cheapen the value of Airborne, Air assault, Ranger, and other real schools like them come promotion time. All of these courses fall into military education right next to ACCP... implying that come promotion time, being musically inclined or religiously involved is just as important as knowing how to tuck and roll after jumping out of an airplane.
....again I will say that the ACCP system needs to be dismantled, not improved!
If they aren't going to be serious about the tests that they give, I'm not going to be serious while taking them. So lets work together and conduct our own damage control for what they have done now.
