CommitedToStay....there is no "apparent" bias to any particular ethnic group...one is equally treated as a moron. Although, some believe that some checkers/trainers differ in temperament dependent on ethnic background. What I can say for sure is that our course is designed to put you under so much stress and pressure that given the number of sectors one does (40, plus the rest of it) that sooner or later a major cock up will occur and then they want to see how you come back from that. But even then...one can pass the whole ordeal...and the final assessment board shoots you down because of reports that were written about your progress at the very start and/or prior to the command course.
So far from the replys I have seen...ours is not a very practical or cost efficient method of selecting/evaluating or training Command prospects...ooopps...I do apologise, I used that word "training" in reference to my outfit....checking Command prospects.
It would seem lately, especially here, that debriefing techniques and report writing (ie positively) has gone right out the window. Long gone are the days of a hard verbal debriefing, followed by encouranging and positive report writing, at least at my outfit anyway.
Your comments...one and all...are greatly appreciated. Thanks
