I wholeheartedly believe that the root cause of these problems is that a top-notch training program onboard a ship takes more time and resources than the command has (or is willing to spend).  There's simply more important things.  It's not perfect.  But hey, it's an imperfect world.

are the cte exams graded in a way where only a certin percent are supposed to pass, example 20 percent get a's and 20 percent get b' and so on.  or is it possible for everyone to do well. another words are they trying to single people out, because only a certain number of people will have to work those bad front line boats. or do they want everyone to do well.

You have a very long time before you need to worry about Continuing Training Exams.

You wrote what was wrong with CTE on your boat.  You are correct that the time and resources available for a top-notch training program simply are not there for many commands.  Recent changes to the source documents have been made to try and give boats more leeway on how they administer their training programs.

Good point, DM.  I've added a disclaimer to my post.
