Andy,
What do you set the standards against for the best CP course around, just interested.
As to the Military against civvy then that is a different argument as there are civvies out there that i would and have worked with that are more street wise than squaddie's and it can show. One of the main differences between civvies and squaddies is they do not go into little groups and think that they are the best, they just get on with the job as a team member.
i have been in the industry for over 13 years and have seen most of it first hand.
Put them in the pit and i will agree with you until the cows come home that the military mindset is first class, but in civvie street you are on a level field.
Also I have found that it is far easier to put girls and civvies together as they do not hold an misconseptions of who they are.It was noted on a job where one of the military guys had just got his license to work CP, he did not like it that a femail with over 14 years experience was on the team.
She had worked at the top level and still does and was one of the first civvie CP females in the country who has worked with some of the best operators and some of the roughest.
This topic has been going on for ages and will always run, but on another note some of the best CP operators on the circuit are civvies, not all but just look around at people like Peter Constadine and Gerry Judd.
As a foot note yes i have a military background but also a civvie one to.
