For the CO's Suggestion Box

Commander,

I would like to suggest mandatory training in the Microsoft Office Suite with a focus on Excel and Power Point.

The productivity of the battalion would grow markedly if, as a part of our regular homeport training or perhaps as a part of leadership training, we had a week long course on the Microsoft Office Suite. While most personnel are able to guess and check their way though Word, Excel, and Power Point few are proficient. A working understanding of tables, formulas, and filters would make task completion faster and easier for both the creator of documents and the receiver.

Very respectfully,

EA2
