But just recently I believe 1 failed the JCAB check and 3 failed upgrade training (AJV/AJX) - all within about 2-3 months period.
There have been no upgrade failures recently and I can't really think of anyone in the close to four years that I have been here that has gone for upgrade training and not made it, things like that leak out to the line pretty quickly and it is not that we are gossipy around here, I like to think of it as a very effective system of information gathering and redistribution.
Now what you might be referring to and somehow have gotten twisted in the rumor mill is that several guys have been bypassed for upgrade due to the fact that they weren't ready or some guys in initial training that have not made it through, but not upgrade training.
