That is something I always do, on occasion I will lead a training squad. Depends on my energy levels though. :P

There is some truth in, "Once you have gotten good, you cannot really improve more if you don't start teaching the subject as it will give you new insights..." I did a lot of Bootcamp work with other teachers in the PRT. Not that I am implying I am good or anything.

So yes, we should always help spread the Word of PR as the good Disciples we are (joking a bit but you see the point. )

I think I've tried the training. I think it was suppose to be a server run think where players can practice maneuvers.

Maybe the community should run a training session or program from time to time. Both to teach newcomers and train their members.

That's what we are going to do. However, we will all be learning the new technicalities of this version but we certainly know how to do teamwork by now. Mean (not really), lean (who?) and well trained (heck yes) on previous PR versions

The Training mode was removed due to it not fullfilling the goals the Devs had setup for it, or so I recall reading in the 50 page threads on the changelog.

As for training sessions or training programs, it has been tried but didn't workout for various reasons. Time, devotion of the trainers, organisation - it just didn't work for long. Doing ingame squad training is one thing, setting up and prepping for a real training session on a specific topic/kit is another thing.

Knowing something and teaching the same is two different things, there is a reason teachers go through all that training in how to speak and listen, how to argue - how to teach. That's one possible reason the online trainings have failed.

Anyhow, I'm not passing judgement on the previous efforts as I wasn't there. I am merely providing some plausible guesses.

Back to topic. TRAINEE will be about practical ingame small squad learn-by-doing, that's easy.

Roger that I'll be helping out some on the Chicago INS server on the insurgency side, squad name TRAINING.
