    Chicken. What is sad about all this is as a DOD employee I have a list of about 60 classes a year I have to take online. In addition there are always new ones and the ones you have to take in person.

    I want some to know how this all works. All those rules and regulations the .GOV puts out everyone in that field are supposed to comply with? On the civilian side they (for the most part) are just checked off on boxes and forgot about. in the world of the DOD employee it takes about 100 hours of labor away from the job each year at least. The FedGov says this is training that needs to be done. The civie side says pencil whip it and get back to work.

    I have taken 116 sexual harassment classes in my lifetime so far....
    I see you running, tell me what your running from

    Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.

    It was not until the "sexual assault" course that came out a year ago (mandatory training in person 1 hour) that I learned how to apply the tricks of the trade in harassment.

    Never had an issue but it is just one of the things like "OPSEC" that after 29 years gets a little stale? when they keep showing the same thing over and over.

    I can't imagine how boring and repetitive that must be! Good grief, leave it to the government to waste your time year after year on a subject that I'm sure most 6th graders understand!
    I mean sexual harassment 116 times? Wow.

    Back on a serious note, is there much value in the classes offered? How would you utilize them without working for FEMA?
    They definately interest me..

    Not to mention the Force Protection training required for USAF, it's civvies and contractors. I retired 4.5 years ago and this is the EXACT same (not a thing has changed) training I had to make my unit complete and track.

    The Air Force Information Assurance training is the same way but this has only been about 3 years since they updated it last.


    Thanks for the link to this free Government Disaster Training!

    These Incident Command Courses (ICS) courses are designed for responders involved in federal level event. All responders LE, Fire, EMS, Public Works, etc must takes these courses if they will have their hand in an event that becomes a federal declared disaster.

    IS100 and IS700 Intro to ICS and Intro to NIMS are mandatory for all responders
    IS200 is for those that will be used as a single resource
    IS800 is the National Response Plan - this class is a brain drain and goes through all the process that go on during a disaster

    The other classes there are good for general info

    Unless you work for a local, state, or federal agency or volunteer for one these are probably not necessary, however they are free and pretty easy to get through so there really is no harm.
