I haven't taught a BMQ in a couple of years, but the last few I did teach, if you didn't quit, you passed. They were for all intents and purposes no fail.
Don't pretend it's the fault of the instructors either, I work very hard when teaching, but when a troop is going to PRB for a third, fourth, or fifth time for the same test, and being given a fourth, fifth, or sixth chance to pass the test, after doing the same thing every other test... maybe it's not the instructors fault... maybe at some point the higher chain of command needs to say "Hey, maybe we're wasting our time trying to slap a hat badge on this idiot"
I always still tried my damndest to teach, but most others just gave up, if you knew the order was going to be retest them, why bother with the PRB?

My goal was to , at some point in my career, give BMQ's and Trade specified class.... but when I saw my staff, I was thinking that there were no way on earth I would be able to teach like that. I thought to myself, I'm either going to be someone that recruits are not going to enjoy but they are going to know that I don't stand for B****** or I am not going to teach anything at all......
At least I know There is still hope and that was not suppose to happen !

Yeah it's a shitty thing to have to do, but I've sat in that exact hot seat and done it, I expect my peers to do it. I don't want the Cpl Bloggins I pass on a course (in this case driver wheel) to be the dumb sh** that ends up killing a family of 4 with the HL.

It really doesn't change the fact that it's happening and happening constantly and consistently.
