The most unprofessional guy I have ever seen in uniform. I helped unload elk fence for landowners in the nooksack and that guy said the F word about 5 times per sentence. Im no saint but man that guy was wayyyy outta line.One in the same. He is very rough around the edges, but one hell of a good game warden.First I read Operation Cody and get worked up and now I learn that Dave Jones is fired. He was a highlight of our Hunter Education classes. The kids loved him and he we'll sure miss him. I've seen Dave in two situations and I was impressed by the way he handled the violators; very professional and not with a confrontational demeanor. I'm not sure I want to be an instructor any longer with the way the WDFW is heading.

It used to be that our administrators were all game wardens who had promoted in their last couple of years before retirement. They had tons of experience in the field, and still understood what the job was all about.But now, we get kids running the show, who never had enough experience to understand the job; what works and what doesn't.

Do the younger guys just have a bigger ego to feed nowadays? I will say in my experience it's not just WDFW going this way, but rather LE as a whole moving this way. It seems like there are so many young guys who get their feet wet and immediately want their Sergeant stripes and even more. Whereas "back in the day" the only guys who wanted to get out of the field and into supervisory roles were the guys with gray in their hair..
Upper level management of all types like the young energetic upncomers who flat out run in what ever direction they are told to run and will keep running in that direction regardless of obstacles, until told to change direction. Its a mind set they look for..........not experience . The ones who will do what they are told with out question or thought of consequences..........Just do it because you're told to do it. And then theres the unconditional loyalty to who ever gave them their brake........because they know they just circumvented the system.
My entire professional life has been dealing with crap like this. Always getting crapped on my the high ups. To bad WDFW works this way but cant say I'm surprised. This was a great book and i have already passed it on and recommended it to many others. Good on you UCWARDEN for staying the course and doing what you could even if it was with your hands tied by bureaucratic BS.
Just got my copy today. Ordered from the website and it came in a very timely manner.
Great read and very eye opening. Thanks
