As I said, I don't fault Kittypaw specifically. I believe they've done what they can, and what is within their means. What I don't fully trust is the greater organization.
An organization of this size should be entirely capable of providing basic training, support, or materials to let us train new recruits ourselves now that we've muddled through. Whatever their intentions are, it doesn't change that their practices aren't necessarily in the best interests of those rifted into their ranks.
A senior associate once told me of a time when our squad was "tested" by ALASTAIR, forced into harsh conditions with their supplies cut off. That endangered civilians and non-combatants, and did not include any training prior to its execution. There's a level of thoughtlessness to such measures that I can't abide. You can't test people on something they haven't been prepared for in any way and expect positive results...but they were "graded" on it nonetheless.
I don't mind disagreeing on this matter; your opinion is as valid as mine. But I don't think I will ever entirely trust any group that puts people in those conditions and doesn't attempt to make adjustments when they struggle.
The branch of the CCG to which I belong is in Tokyo, and that is our jurisdiction. Despite being so much smaller than this organization, we manage to provide the support, education, and training required to perform. That includes people who start at widely disparate skill levels. If we could, I see no reason that an organization of this size and scope could not. So that's why I feel the way I do.
