Ahhh...silly primary students.
The CAIs are painful, but they're there to say that you had no excuse not to know the stuff that they expect you to know...making it a necessary "CYA" the Navy had to include...besides, if it weren't for the CAIs, you'd really not know ANYTHING going into the classes. Now, you at least have to know 80% of the progress checks to continue...which is the important stuff to know. As an advanced Course Rules instructor, you knowing the minimum is key.
But you'll find that out when you get to Whiting (if you get there) because these have got to be the most difficult course rules in the entire world. My presentation alone is 160 slides with about 1/3 of the RWOP covered.
