Yes, I have never had attitude issues with former mil types. Most of the CFI's are too intimidated to let any attitude shine through so it mostly comes from 91/135 types who realized that 121 was a better path and were going to show us regional types how it's done while waiting for the bigs to call...but even that's been rare.
