Thanks,

I guess I was basically venting about the current state of what I've been seeing.
I know there will always be the comparison of Now VS. Then, and I hate to be one of those guys saying, "back when I came in", but age and experience are my guidelines here.
What I think we have been seeing is a shift in making a Career long choice, and just making a Job choice. I dont dislike the xray program per say, I just think that Some of the younger guys we have been getting, have been poor choices for SF.

That's not to say that they are all bad, but I would say a majority of them are guys that you can see right through.

I also failed to mention, that SF was also a place for guys who could think on their feet, and operate with little or no instructions, and were guys that you could trust to operate sometimes in very small numbers, in sensitive areas, without having to question whether they were gonna do the right thing.

I think people forget that..........I cant tell you how many times I've had cherry Captains, trying to explain that we need to watch our P's and Q's because blah, blah blah...............
