ILE-CC Curriculum

[Tom Odom]

Are you at Leavenworth? If so, the AOC does just what you are asking for.

Personally, I think that our writing skills, as an Army, suck, and we need to be doing more to improve them, not less.

Concur. After my own service and 10 years of mentoring writing at JRTC, I see the effects of PPT and even CPOF as crippling when it comes to effective comms. A word bullet is an incomplete thought, one which allows everyone to finish it according to his own interpretation. A PPT storyboard without a tight written summation is the picture equivalent of a word bullet. A picture may be worth a 1000 words; the problem is that all viewers see different pictures in their own 1000 words. That works wonderfully for art, not so wonderfully for military art.
