It's more of a strategic integration course than a classic weapons school (I would assume very similar to the Intel WIC). They focus on more integrating with other CAF assets to better enable them to accomplish national directives. They don't get out much and it allows them to see the rest of the Air Force and how they execute the mission.
IMO the WIC prepares them to be at the 625th STOS/STRATCOM as planners for targeting/scheduling. The shell game that is involved to ensure that all of the targets are covered with the right number/weapon configuration to ensure the required PK is ridiculous.

Worked fine for me. I think it's the # sign at the end of the link. Supposedly there's a whole new version of our forum software on the way, hopefully it's released soon (sts).

Saw this and was surprised it wasn't already here.

I believe there was a problem with the flow of information in that career field, but I don't think that "commander down" was the direction that they had trouble with.
"Good job today Lt. Snuffy, you didn't press the big red button. However, if you move your seat .69 feet to the right you could put the launch order, your checklist and the button all in arms reach. In fact let me get my whiteboard and I'll draw it out for you and break it down over the next 8 hours".
Yeah, I didn't actually want an answer, I was just soliciting snide remarks.
Actually, I wasn't sure if everyone followed both posts or if people dropped off once their VSP was approved and only us late submission sad souls were left...
Yeah, I guess it is pretty hard to automate draging some mangled carcass to the morgue. Definitely have to toss the fireproof gloves and the squadron dickie.
Since you referenced "God" , why don't you get down on your knees and give thanks that you weren't involved.
