Mike, it's a rare and special thing when a line officer with cojones and good sense gets to the point where they can institute changes for the better. Sounds like you're saddled with an equipment upgrade but the same old mentalities.
Most courses are designed to "Qualify" 90% of new shooters with a 70% score or better. The conventional thinking is that the duds are eliminated quickly and the rest know something about what they are suppposed to be doing w/o major expenditures. Reality, of course, has a way of showing just how silly this is in places like Miami, North Hollywood, or South Central. Trouble is, the wrong people die.
Good luck, and I hope that you never need to use that new upgraded equipment. If you do, I'm sure you'll do well. I hope all your backup is of good quality also,and that's really reaching for it....
