Are there too many required Army classes?

Required Army Online classes or Surveys - GAT, Cyber Security, Personal security, Travel security, Safety Courses, EO courses, etc....seems like we have to take them every year...and then get a power point lecture on them....is this a distraction? Do we need more of it? Less of it? Thoughts?

Yes, I generally thought there were too many mandatory classes while I was in the Army. Many units seemed to treat these like check-the-box tasks. I do respect that some of these classes are important, but there are some that left me thinking, "Why on earth am I required to do this?"
