For crying out loud, you did not read it too carefully now did you? It is 0%-300% meaning I am not trying to bullshit you. Infact those skills are pretty lousy. Just being honest. Ok you want explaining for those stuff above ok then...
I have been in firerange testing my abilities for many times with my Beretta. (I can add image of it if you want... Could'nt before since Wetpaint does NOT support Internet Explorer and now I have Mozilla)
I have went through a civilian first-aid training that was free.
For auto mechanics... well... at least I know how to change a flat tire or power up the car. Remember its still the 1-300%
And for leadership.... ah yes... What I meant was that I can pretty well get people do what I want in an apocalypse.
For explosive training... Well almost anyone can light up a TNT....
And no I do not have any journeymen certfication. Though I have been exploring the nearby forest numereous times.

And now, I have one question for you:
Why do you try to break my ideas on purpose? You sound like you would have something against my skill system.

He doesn't have anything against your skill system, but you are claiming to be proficient in things you really know nothing about.

"For explosive training... Well almost anyone can light up a TNT...."

Seeing something on TV doesn't give you any qualification to use it in real life. I watched Apollo 13 the other day, does that mean I am 33% Astronaut? Fuck no it doesnt, if I were to sit behind the controls of a space shuttle I would have no clue what to do. Not even 33% of a clue.

And how does experience with one handgun make you proficient with automatic rifles or any other weapon system?

I read it and understood it. And I still think you are being too generous with regards to what you really know.

33% out of 300% still implies you know *something* about explosives. If all you really know how to do is light a fuse, then you should probably be at about .05% realistically.

maybe 1-2% out of 300% on SMG if all you have handled is a beretta. Which means you could identify a SMG, and maybe even discharge it without injuring yourself. But that in no way translates to proficiency.

Yes I do know something about explosive devices.
But let's do this, you tell me what I'll change and I'll do it.
And yes I have fired an SMG in the same firerange that I have fired my gun.

look, all i really wanted to know is if you had formal training like DN here or would I have to retrain you if I came across you in A Z-world?
what i want to know is if I can rely on your numbers or do I need to worry about giving you a grenade. If I hand you an AK or an M-4 can you operate it, clean it, and maintain it or do you just know where the trigger and charging handle are?

that's what i want to know.

by the way, journeymen's license is for electrical contractors IE security systems installers, alternate energy systems installers (solar and such).

look hellfire, my sister works for the corrections department and every year she is required to qualify with her M-9 but she has never received any form of instruction. as a result of this she has absolutely no shot pattern, she cannot make any kind of accurate followup shot and she has to worry every year about if she is even going to hit the target. if you dont have the fundamentals and a good base for combat pistol shooting or any pistol shooting you are unreliable. the same goes for any weapon.

I ate at burger king today. That makes me 28% chef and 14% business manager.

See how silly that looks?

Gah...
Ok I remove that thing... Man all I ever thought I was doing, was being realistic, at least compared to "Chosen Equipment" page.
And I really thought that was a good idea.
