so why take USPS courses? Not much to learn there you couldn't learn in 30
seconds in a West Marine store talking to a pimply faced kid.
Even in cases where I thought I knew everything about the subject,
and/or where the instructor was crappy, I've always learned something
with every course I've taken. Unless you contend that you know
everything, there's always more to learn.
I have taken classes through the Power Squadron
and believe I have gotten something out of them. Same with a Coast
Guard Aux course, J World, Colgate's Offshore Sailing School and
anything else I can find to sign up for.
Why? You have nothing better to do, and you like the coffee?
I took sailing courses, and USCGX courses, and I had Bob take them
with me. He admitted that he learned some stuff too, even though he's
been boating and sailing for years, and was in the Navy for 20 years.
If you pay attention, and actively engage your brain, there will be
something to learn.
