NORFOLK, Va. - The Navy has given their Operational Risk Management (ORM) courses a facelift and I believe you will be pleased with the new look. Before getting frustrated with yet another mandatory general military training-type requirement, let me add first and foremost, that these are not new requirements but an improved delivery method of training.
Before writing this article, I took the ORM courses myself, as I wanted to communicate my thoughts shipmate to shipmate. As a retired Sailor, I know all too well the challenges of mandatory training courses and have completed quite a few of the ORM courses, as they were required over my years of service. I can tell you frankly; these training sessions have a different look and feel than the previous versions.
