The attitude at Thomson is one of intimidation and condescension. if there is a way to humiliate you or be condescending, they will do it. The COs strut around like they are the baddest warriors to ever walk the earth, when over 50% are morbidly obese. Most can hardly run, let alone deal with a tough situation. Maybe 1% could even complete the Marine Corps obstacle course and I doubt any could score first class on the Marine Corps PFT. The standards are extremely LOW. Each range is run differently day to day. Some scream at you about not being in uniform even if you are in your cell or just on the flats. Others yell about other things. you never know what it is going to be from one day to the next, depending on what CO it is and what they are going to do today as opposed to yesterday or the day before. No SOPs, no continuity, no standards.
