Mike Rinders board has some interesting comments on the new tech releases, such as ditching most of the tapes from the levels, getting rid of meter dril EM 18 - instant rudiment reads ( today has there been a suppression?) and the dating drill.
The why for getting rid of EM 18 is obvious, per the drill you can't ask your coach to do it more than once, so you need a bunch of students to ask the questions on. If you only have one or two students on course - you are screwed. So, in the interest of fast flow...
The demise of the dating drill is interesting for this reason - His Cobness wrote a Senior C/S bulletin about the dating drill, and how he watched this girl get a date on someone while he and some execs were watching - she was taking microscopic reads - and it was discovered the leads were un plugged ( or some other GAE [gross auditing error]) He was really dissing it. Of course, you have to wonder why he would let someone do the drill with an unplugged meter in the first place.
My experience with the drill is A) it can be done, B) it takes sharp TRs, C) it eats a lot of course time. What they did at flag solo course was to have "ringers" help out the metering students. There were people like Peggy that would read like you were ringing a bell - was it before 1959? X after X? was it in 1950? Small Fall. You could bang out the drill in a hurry - especially if it were wed evening when the ringers showed up to get the stats up.
“Rudiments Definitions and Patter had been revised by a random person. Rudiments procedure was completely wrong and nobody has actually known how to do them.” Now there is a release I’d like to see – if anyone can get their hands on the revised HCOB, please post it.
How could they change it? It was pretty damn simple. Go back to old school check it for a read, get some itsa, and recheck it for a read?
I guess when you are schooled in gang bang sec checks, getting ruds in isn’t a priority.
