My unit has had a run of boring training and death by PowerPoint. So I created a class on small unit movement and tactics and basically tailored to fit the zombie apocalypse. It definitely got the attention of all the younger Soldiers and engaged them with questions and different scenarios on what to do when attacked. Had Soldiers practice the movements outdoors and had the NCO's act the zombie part in the scenarios.

It worked out great. I used a template from pptranger.com and just added tactics and hand signals.

Problem Solving & the Role of the Non-commissioned Officer...it was cool to see the light bulbs going off in the room. It brought to light a serious lack of mentoring at the unit level and some POI failures at NCOES (we had multiple recent attendees at BLC & ALC in the room).

One time as a Finance Commander we had watched We Were Soldiers for SGT's time. That piqued a lot of interest.
