Completely untrainable and incapable of thinking outside the box. I have recieved civilian candidates whom I thought could never possibly hack the work and turned out to be some of the best assets I had on certain details. I believe that it wasn't the individuals at all rather than how I was interfacing with the training and my perception or expectations that caused either success or failure. I firmly believe that a civilian can be motivated and trained to be as proficient as anyone else. I believe that veterans have an edge that can be sharpened quicker but it is ultimately always up to the instructor!Response by Dan Price made Feb 17 at 2017 5:04 PM2017-02-17T17:04:47-05:002017-02-17T17:04:47-05:00SPC Robert Bobo8004941<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Professionalism and work ethic requires commitment, discipline, accountability and a desire to succeed, most military and law enforcement professionals are taught key components of professionalism however, some never embrace these core principles and end up on a path of mediocrity and or failure, professionalism has to be taught to civilians willing to embrace it, the screening, on boarding and training process remains critical in any industry, a person with a minimum wage work ethic will never achieve success. The lack of professionalism, poor work ethic and lack of personal responsibility is alarming theses day's with "fake" experts encouraging a entitled mind setResponse by SPC Robert Bobo made Nov 30 at 2022 11:12 AM2022-11-30T11:12:25-05:002022-11-30T11:12:25-05:002015-04-13T16:46:25-04:00
