That doesn't sound right. They invested all that time and money to train agents that "their personalities just don't fit"? I went through over a year of testing, background investigations, and general red-tape before I GOT to a Federal Academy. They knew what they were getting before I stepped in the door.

1) They had to cut based on budget (not likely).
2) He got cut based on something else and this was an excuse.
3) He was never there.

Just a few alternatives that came to mind. I don't know the people in this situation, and am looking at it from a 3rd party view with limited info. I could be wrong, but it doesn't sound right to me.
