Steelers,
I bought the textbook recommended by the Coast Guard Institute's catalog. It was recommended for both exams. I skimmed over it, watched all 13 1-hour videos from the death and dying type PBS series I checked out from the library, and took them both the same day. A "B" and a "C" but I passed. For Labor Relations, I checked out a Labor Relations textbook from the base library and studied for about 2-3 hours over general info, terms, etc. Took it and made a "B." I have used the PBS video series for several exams without even studying! The Coast Guard Institute is a great resource and I used it a lot with my personal business. Hope this helps.
