And I've seen a few training cycles myself. Both the fire hose type and AQP/train to proficiency type.
Usually it's a guys crappy attitude and inability to forget where he came from and adapt that messes him up. Regardless of mil or civ.
It's not a mil vs. civ peeing contest. Although just like clockwork, it can be counted on.
