The lateral hire info is what REALLY catches folks: no one wants to hire a guy that's been sued a few times.

I ran into this with a 1LT (Army) that had been fired a couple of times. I just made him my HQ PL just so I could keep a close eye on him/make sure he got the proper amount of mentoring. different situation, I know, but the same principle applies.

Oh, and he sucked at the HQ PL job.
