News flash the government don't get the cream of the crop employee sometimes due to the nepotism embedded in good old boy system. It still exists some are put on the interview list by phone call and then the good old boy doing favors for other sections selects the relative of high school buddy or from the area where the buddy system in place. All legal on paper, but back door in by th phone call.

Seen this many times at ALCs. Kelly AFB. Was good example, others also IMO almost as bad which includes probably all branches and federal employment. Seem this for 40 years and yes some were felons and still got in. If you were outsider you didn't say anything or you would be targeted.

Some places had three generations of high level management position, positions they paid 100k plus through nepotism. That why I refer to the 30% rule? 30% carry the 70% that do hardly nothing except come in late, take long lunches, and go home early.

Most hiring branches are now out of state due to the local system being corrupt. But couple years ago some was till local. I'm out of the system so hopefully it's changed throughout all federal agencies?
