I would say PLDC should be better with the simple fact that it was a four week course, opposed to the WLC course that was down to two weeks during the war. The focus in PLDC was way different than WLC so that makes it harder to even compare them. Overall though, I think PLDC taught leadership better because leaving there you knew you were a leader 24/7 once you left that place. I get the impression now that junior leaders and Soldiers forget how to act when the uniform is off.

I went to WLC in Mississippi, it was a three week course. Sad part, now that they've gone to BLC they've eliminated Land Nav entirely... Smh

I went to PLDC and it was a two week course. The difference in course length came from your component (RC vs AD) rather than the course itself. The AD course was 4 weeks but they have less intensive hours plus weekends. The reserve component was there for two weeks to meet their AT requirements and it was 14 days almost non-stop. That was Ft. Lewis in 2005.

I went to PLDC at Fort Hood it was four weeks, do any of you guys have an old copy of the AARTS that describes PLDC around 1994? I need to make corrections in the Joint service version they have removed a lot of information from my new version It used to state Conducts and Evaluates training as part of the description I believe that have confused the old PLDC with Warrior Leader Course which didn't exist in 1994, any help would be appreciated

Not really a question that can be answered. Not likely that someone has been to both, and that's the only way to give a fair comparison.
