    I attended the Defense Resource Management Course (DRMC) at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California. This was an exceptional course taught in an interactive format that concentrated on resource management, acquisition, cost analysis and executive level decision making within an operational framework of finite resources.

    DRMC broadened my vision and taught me (as a mid-level careerist) to apply my skillset into arenas far beyond my day-to-day tasks as a Management Analyst. Having the opportunity to understand the Defense Financial System from the senior-level decision maker’s perspective enabled me to tailor my work product to a broader audience. Upon my return to Redstone Arsenal, I immediately began to assess situations differently, as I was able to approach tasks from a more holistic view using the skills and knowledge I acquired at DRMC.

    The DRMC course environment was very unique and consisted of students from the United States as well as Allied nations. This created a culturally diverse environment for learning that simulated potential real world operations and relationships. I was able to engage and learn about similarities and differences of Allied nations’ financial systems and introduce many first-time U.S. visitors to our systems and culture.

    I would strongly encourage my fellow CP26 Careerists to consider DRMC for future training opportunities. This course provides four-weeks of Resource Management training encompassing an operational environment of scarce resources, which is very representative of how we operate today. This course is a highly interactive learning opportunity that will broaden your vision as a resource manager and enhance your performance to the Army and the Nation.
