CX
Well, as it happens, I come from a pure military background. And the general way was that you would never get to the final check unless you were going to pass. In other words, any issues would have been addressed BEFORE any final check - not after(as happens in CX).
To go all the way to, and subsequently pass, the final command check only to be told the next day that you have in fact failed due to the managers deciding you aren't fit, just defies all logic. Of course barring any major screwups on the day.
Unfort there are many ex Mil guys upstairs. I would have thought they should know better.
BTW, how many of our esteemed training managers and senior checkers failed their commands first time around? Sour grapes?
