I had a similar experience from 1999-2008. I was NEVER properly trained for anything that I encountered. They just wanted warm bodies to fill all the watch duties. It didn't matter if all the equipment was broken as long as it was clean. WRT the physical stuff; I used to do 100 situps, 80 pushups and fail the run consistently. I would still get a physical readiness award due to the grading criteria. Hilarious!

I need them to update the firmware on my DVD drives.

I'm with you. I'm glad they noticed that real grass sways back and forth continuously regardless of the wind or lack thereof. Kidding aside, is there a way to turn it off?

I noticed that when I am being watched (or think I am) it does not result in the suppression of 'bad' behavior. It results in the suppression of all behavior. I think this ultimately makes me look more suspicious as I try not to look suspicious.
