Prerequisite Course

I like participating in exercises; especially the ones that the Air Force offers. However, I think one of the stupidest things to do is to make a prerequisite course for an exercise. I have to take a course before I take a course? This is rediculous. The course was 165 PowerPoint slides. Talk about DBPP (Death By PowerPoint). After that, I had to take an exam that involved answering 85 questions. They were all re-worded too, so I couldn't just go back to the lessons and find the answers. Pain in my butt!
