Well, sort of. The initial CPP pretty much proved that wasn't the case nor was it that simple.
The amount of adequate candidates, to even barely good enough/was simply well prepared and had a good day (ahem, ME) all the way to "how the hell did they get hired?" that came OTS is probably the similar/same to the more than adequate, more than good enough, they SHOULD have been hired that were shot down on the CPP.
And most of those did just what you state, had ZERO problems getting on elsewhere, but had NOTHING to do with looking in the mirror.

And in that analogy, our hiring process for the CPP was JUST LIKE the hot chick. They didn't turn down people because they didn't measure up, they simply turned them down because they could.
I have a feeling that many of those that didn't get it and ended up at various other places aren't regretting not getting it one bit right now.
Anyway, 'nuff of that.
Will XJT survive this?
