SGT,
I may not know all the details, but it appeared a first that it was just a facelift with name change as we went into "warrior" crazy themes. However, I know a lot who went to PLDC and said that WLC does not prepare Soldiers for leadership as well. It also appeared for a period that land navigation skills were not as big of a focus.
(Note: on a personal note I am all for train then promote and that may be why it seems that WLC is not necessary the best school at this point.)

Thank you sir. I was wondering about the differences and was concerned that it was a matter of semantics facelift.

All of NCOES has changed. The only constant is ht & wt and the pt test.
The schools change with times, seems they spend more time in the classroom on computers then in the field, least that's what I've told. I've been out for a little over a yr so I've been out of touch but I thought I read somewhere not too long ago that they were thinking of changing it again. I'm glad I don't have to go anymore.

I am going to have to agree with you. Less time learning HOW to lead from the front and more time sitting on their butts looking at screens.

Exactly which leads to a poorer quality of leader once they reach E7 and E8. Where they not only effect a team or squad but a whole plt. Lets hope it will get better.
