“You gonna pay me for that”?
I agree with you....and......not to make this a military/civilian thing, but......”shack”!
Might I also add that we are our own worst enemy. As over achievers, we showed up fully prepared for training. The instructors had to show they knew more so that raised the bar.....consequently, over multiple iterations we got to questions like...”How many ridges on the trim button?” in the never ending game of stump the dummy. It became unruly. I can’t even remember the last time any type of oral question was asked during CQ....or might I add....very little during IQ with the “new” training. Overall...the new way is not only easier(admittedly) but, more importantly...more rational, logical, and real world....I’ll say it again....we aren’t being hired to be “test pilots”
