It was good course materials, the tests were there for each section and the evaluation was by the book. Having been subjected to maritime training for over 40 years around the globe, NE Maritime is fine - in the middle of the pack.

MSC in Freehold very good and US Navy in Norfolk was excellent for fire field exercises. Back in the day it was great with serious smoky oil fires one had to team up and put out. I have a vague memory of some US Navy damage control course with flooding one had to stop.

Since then I have taken AFF at Broward County Fire Department and a couple refresher courses who all use a smoke machine for various reasons. Not much compared to being in a steel box fighting a pallet and rubber fire in the freaking Florida Summer heat but I can appreciate the safety aspect since resolve lost a couple older students some time ago.

I took AFF at PMI in Seattle because my company at the time let me pick where I wanted to go, and I honestly wanted the most hands-on I could find. I think there was 1.5 days of classroom, then the other days were spent dressing out and working various methods, and then we divided into groups to create drills for the other students. Honestly it was great and as I was rarely on a fire team as I was usually relief crew, I wanted more hands on.
