All jobs should be advertised to the public.

This is the problem I have with this practice "None of these jobs was advertised to the public. More than a third were hired before they officially retired, and more than half started their civilian careers within a pay period after taking off their uniform, an indication that no one competed with them for the job."

OK, that's bullsh**. As a Vet they have the Vet Pref points but to nudge out all competition is something I cannot stomach.

Maj Kevin "Mac" McLaughlin - The main issue I have is "None of these jobs was advertised to the public." I copied and pasted the rest of the quote as a matter of context.

I get that and this sounds concerning. However, I also wonder if this is accurate.

Maj Kevin "Mac" McLaughlin Alright Sir, you're making it difficult to enjoy my indignant rage fest with your open minded pragmatism. Do I need to get a restraining order?

One of the ways they do it is the write the job discription so restrictive that they are the only ones qualified to do it.
