PJ2: many thanks. Cleared up quite a bit.
The informal debrief appears to translate very well. As to tailored proficiency metrics ... I'll do some more reading, appreciate the pointers.
You may be amused to note that I applied for a civil service MFOQA billet, but was not chosen, just under five years ago. The billet, I found out from my friend who had first alerted me, was suspended (for funding) for over a year. In the meantime, I found another job. When I found out the job was on again, I was late to the party with my package.
So it goes.
