Dimwit levels are severely increased in Civvy Strasse. - mainly because the worst of them can be there for LIFE - not just for a two or three year tour!
I wouldn't recommend some of them for their fitter courses, let alone their Tapes!
It can also be an "If your face fits.." world where you quickly learn patience, so the slower ones in charge can catch up, and selective silence, so the dimwits don't sack you!
Its not all bad though - regular time off and leaving work behind all evenings and weekends.
Not having to go where you don't want to. (And also not going to where you DO want to go!)
Oh - And the remuneration too!
As was just said - Look before you leap.
