OH YES, the infamous Blackhawk Down story. As a matter of fact, I am quite familiar with that story and the role the USN played; most specifically what you call F.A.C. What I find confusing though... what FAC unit you were with.. perhaps "The Blackjacks"

What the system doesn't need is a supervisor certifying controllers that aren't capable or ready to be on their own. The tuff test is washing someone out 
Even though you like him/her and their family. To be a good supervisor requires alot of time and effort. I was fortunate to be at an ATC-12 up and down where sups maintained currency in both facilities. That was 9 radar and 6 cab positions. It was the best job and I enjoyed nearly every aspect, even the occassional confronatation (inevitable).
