Not everyone has the makings of a model employee. Many really useful people, especially creative types, are often not good "team players". OK, there’s "no I in team", but there is an M and an E in there someone!
I like to say that the world is split into two types of people. There are the sheep (ie, the great majority), and then there are the shepherds (actually, there is a third category, the wolves, but we won’t go into that now).
My point is that some of the best people are not really employable in the normal sense. It depends what you’re looking for, talent or drones. The trouble with being talented, of course, is you then become a threat to those who are less so (and often sitting farther up the food chain). All this adds up to "safe" people being hired. Mediocrity, in other words. I’ve seen it time and time again.
Needless to say, I'm unemployable myself! Ha, ha.

Just trying to pass along the wisdom, Good Buddy. Sharing the info, and spreading the word. 
I only wish there had been something like this (ie, the forum, the internet etc.) back in the days when I was starting out.

Now, that is funny! Of course, the Ha Ha there meant ditch or something similar, if I remember rightly.
Actually Mate, I was never greatly impressed by the "support" we got from that quarter. It all went down hill (Shooter's Hill?) once they stopped producing "Technical Folders", in my opinion. Anyone else remember those?
Odd to recall, also, that medical and dental equipment was looked after by "Weapons Branch" (must be a moral to that story somewhere).
