Neil training ,that's one thing about work I don't miss. We were required to take close to a 100 CBT's courses a year plus monthly safty meetings you couldn’t miss even if it was your day off or vacation. We had to take safe driving twice a year (Smith driving course)along with driving with a instructor. We had fire training once a year where we would spend the day putting out fires along with training. Then medical training, first aid, CPR and keep your certification each year. We had a host of other training as well and I don't miss it a bit.
What is funny is I was in a secured locked control room which I could not leave for my 12 hr shift. Since I could not leave the control room and never drove a company vechicle most of the training was not applicable to me, was required anyway.
Memorablest (that's maybe a word) training session:
How to deliver a baby on newspaper on a ping-pong table in the basement with flashlights during a nuclear attack by (USSR, Canada, Kentucky, etc. ?)
Actual 1960's Army medic training film in color - with a real female volunteer (the kid probably signed some wavers, too) and a couple of doctors who pretended to be soldiers. We had a boy!
The build-up to this day of training was exciting....and the film was very educational.... for those of us who managed to stay to the end! ....Like watching my first youtube belt change on a scooter, or checking the valves!

When our first child was due - I took my wife shopping for ping-pong tables at Sears.
