Your statement is incredible. Besides the enormous wasted time, the aggravation must be unbearable. I refused to attend this nonsense at the university. I did take an online course on responding to sexual harrassment. That course was reasonable because it focused on reporting to others when an allegation occurred. I attended a diversity presentation at an event for parents of adopted Chinese children. I walked out after the moderator (an upper class white woman) asserted that everyone in the room had white privilege.
I am surprised that the military can function with this level of political correctness. The Ft. Hood event was a direct cause of the PC environment.
Well, in the Military you have to sign a log and if for some reason you didn’t attend, the command has to have a special make up session with you or send you to a special class.
I had back surgery one time and they made me go to a shuttle to drive me to another base so I could attend a makeup class with a bunch of other people.
Driving us to the base was 4.5 hrs each way and another 6 hrs in the stand down review. I blew my whole weekend because when I got back it was late on Friday and I was shipping out on Sunday. This stand down was putting me over the edge.
So we all decided that we would get blasted and swear off sleep for the next 2 days to get back at them. I think that was a safety stand down on alcohol if I remember.
Government Spending with Military Efficiency.
