So you said...
Well the scenario was this past weekend. It was the second half or a 36 hr course for advanced SAR candidates.
So I ask, was this a Pass/fail test not just a practice and/or drill?
if a test how many of the seven passed?
It was a course so its pass fail. We started with 8 one had to be evacd due to injury out so he will not pass and have to wait a year to retry.
Out of the seven about 6 will pass at this point. I haven't tallied the info yet (too busy chatting wit y'all) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
Just to give you an idea of attrition. When someone walks through the doors we get 40-50 people who start training. Of the 50 at 1.5 years only 6-8 make it to my course. Out of my course only 2-3 will lead teams in the woods at year 2.5-3 from join date.
Team leader level is not for everyone and some stop at my course level and dont go any further, some stop at the course before mine and are comfortable with that.
It becomes an obsession for many <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />.
