Perhaps that stubborness you perceive is all that training and experience from Military trying to reconcile with what these Commercial Nukes do to run a Nuclear Outrage. (and who and what does it)

When the House Supervisor didn't know or care about the difference between an Ion Chamber or GM tube----I'm stubborn.
When the House wanted to wrap bare lead sheets around a Boron encrusted valve Hot Spot----I'm stubborn.
When the House put a Relative in charge of the Contract RoadRats in Containment----I'm stubborn.
When the House tells us to wear a Magenta Hood so the Craft will know who the RP is---I wonder if its the guy with a meter watching and talking to the Craft----I'm stubborn
When the--------you get the drift------I'm stubborn 8)

I think a part played in the making the decision would also have to be the experience of the ELT in the Navy.  All to often commercial personnel try to lump all ELT's together. 

If an ELT spent time in an IMA they will, more than likely, have dealt with contamination and rad levels on par with a commercial plant (done a submarine resin discharge?).  However if it was a six and out ELT I doubt they ever took a hot swipe, unless they actually took time to survey the PSS...........

alphadude:
well its a "good" stubborn-  known as the "questioning attitude"

Chelios:
Insufficient data. I wouldn't hire any of them without more info. Some ELTs just served on operating reactors, while others served during overhauls. What was the college guys major? How old are these people and what else did they do? I must assume that thiw is for a jr. tech position, since none are qualified sr. tech.

wotta bunch a wussies postin on hear!  watt doya mean yinze ain't go enuff info to do  the hire?  fer cryin out loud, yer staffin an outage... yer basic short duration job, like <40days.  iffen yer staffing that, you need peeple that kin git the job done, period.  yinze need peeple dat know more'n won way to do a job, 'cause they gotta be fluid (wot usat be known as the artistic approach to hp) in the hp approach to the ongoing situation. so let's look at the applying peeple .
bs degree w/ 3 months experience.... that person knows one way, the book way (making the degree relevant assumption), 'n has just enuff hands on to get totally confuzed.
ex-navy elt w/ 3 months experience... that person knows one way, the nuke way, 'n has enuff hands on experience to figure out that they now know everything.
4 year deconner... that person nows more ways to get a job done than most peeple in the station supervisory positions.  this person noz watt goes wrong, what makes thing go right, and how to get correction done in midstream withot getting too many workers in the dung pile.  then again, this person is also familiar with the dung pile, and knows when it is warranted.
since yer not having me hire a supervisior, these are the reasons that my choices would be (for a generic position in a outage) ranked from first to last choice.....
4 yr deconner, ex-nav elt, 4 yr degree.
