12. The 15 -17 June running of LPCIA for GS 11 - 14 supervisors
lacked the sparkly often associated with this course. The group was
considerably less responsive than the norm, and the training staff was
unable to get the class our of its lethargy. This was not due to lack of
effort, however, as the staff put in its usual long hours and extra
effort. The class rated the course an overall 4.3 on a 1 - 5 scale.
Guest managers of OTS and of OSWR added a
useful touch of realism and in-the-trenches insight to the proceedings.
