Just finishing a task in AFG so here is a wee story about a walt.
Into the office walks this guy and says in a booming voice "Yeah, I bin doin PSD for 7 years and seen more shit in that time than most people see in a lifetime".
He told us about his Ranger and SF experience in the US military.
He had done everything that was and wasnt worth doing and all by the age of 30. I even got a glimpse of his resume, it was a masterpiece.
It all started to fall apart for him as the weeks progressed.
Another american, a very competent and genuine guy who had been a ranger etc and knowing all the ins and outs of the US army unravelled his story and it turned out that our Walt did just 3 years in a normal infantry unit in Germany.
When asked to conduct a basic first aid lesson covering bleeding for local national staff, he replied that he knew nothing about first aid.
The seven years of PSD evaporated eventually to the point where we could not work out how little he had actually done.
He turned out to be a liability and a disfunctional member of the team.
His knowledge of life outside of the US was minimal, asking the brits once "Do you guys(Brits) celebrate Christmas in the UK?"
Sad thing is that he had the gift of the gab, had a degree in bullshitting, was very loud and was constantly networking with everyone and anyone.
Fortunately he finished his contract, got paid well for actually doing very little whilst the rest of us worked our socks off getting paid the same amount.
None of us could fathom who he had spoken to or done to get on the task as he was not suitable, so perhaps networking is the key!
