Eagle, I hope the complaint coming from you actually gets some attention. Good luck

PS- not all civilians are incompetent. I finished third in my class with special honors and applied/got accepted/ and I turned down specialty school due to family obligations. I work for the DoD because it is a honor and it is also 4 minutes from where I live. I get to treat guys for no cost so I get to do what is best for them, not what can be afforded.
I know you weren't shooting at me. But please remember, some of those civies may just be the real deal! LOL I thought I worked a pretty good deal with all the specialty pay incentives and retention bonuses. Damn, I think I am going to go feel sorry for myself now!! LOL
1. Baby pics are cool as hell
2. He is already in training, so it counts as an action shot, (he is giving the camera that "you talking to me???" look)
3. Generalizations on hiring practices are just that, generalizations...we had an AD guy at Drum who retired as a PA, and came back to work at the TMC as a Civ...why? cause he didn't want to drive 80 miles each way to Syracuse like I did...he was a damn good PA too! He was satisfied with the salary he was getting, his hours, retirement check, and fed vacations...wasn't that he COULDN'T get hired anywhere else, there just wasn't anyplace else within his driving comfort range to hire him
