The training in those days was rather ad hoc because the people running NASA were basically engineers.

Instead of starting the eradication on the outskirts and forcing the rats in they bombed the garden and moved them out of the area and forced them here. I understand the pressure they were under to take care of the rats and open the school but they didn't consider anything else besides their own problem.

That training really helped us on the second time around, ... It was one of those acts of fate.

Jim Lovell

A lot of stuff, we had to learn ourselves. Training became some school work in those areas we were not familiar with, like orbital mechanics, the extensive gyroscopic systems for control of the vehicle.
