Completing overdue GMTs in January should also count for January's GMTs IMO. I just finished Combatting Trafficking in Persons last week and now I am on the dink list again because that was 2014 training or whatever.

How'd it end up a year overdue? It's not like the training you took is going to change just with you taking the course again. There's some retarded poo poo from the simplest poo poo.

I feel dirty even typing this but it's because they count GMTs from the fiscal year -- so it's overdue because it wasn't completed by September of 2014, and presumably his command was on someone's dinq list. Now that it's complete and they're ashamed of their dinq-ness, they're going to force feed the 2015 GMTs even if it means doing the same stupid training two times in a row. Just ask me how many times I had to learn about PS3 Joyner, the sad-sack sailor who can't handle being on a repair party... (aka Operational Stress Control GMT)

I've always enjoyed the TRIP FROM HELL aka CONUS ATFP training, but that OSC training... there was some sort of admin error and my command wound up presenting it seemingly once a month or so on deployment.

After I realized it won't let you actually choose most of the multiple choice options (e.g. "call security" in response to your coworker asking if you want to get lunch does nothing), I just started playing for the red team. You can play like a combination of Robert Hanssen and a schizophrenic chimpanzee and still get the certificate!

They should have a SAPR NKO training module that parodies Japanese dating sims, only the correct answer is to avoid sex with all the characters.

Have you ever woken up forgetting which way around you are in your rack and tried to climb out, only to discover there's a bulkhead there and you're still mostly asleep so you think you're trapped in a tiny box and start to freak a little?

Yeah. Also, getting tangled in the curtains and then hitting my head on the rack above.
Still, I liked the coffin racks. Cozy.

You should have picked whatever rate requires regular contact with human poo poo. Plumbing is a growth industry in America and far more ubiquitous than computer janitor work.

Only ABEs I've met were either tools or dicks. Hope you have fun with slingshots or whatever it is they do. Might see you around this base too.

My new LPO somehow thinks that our conversation made me rethink getting out, tomorrow is going to be an awkward day.
