next bit
Oh before I leave the FPRD sec check days I'll give an example of what went wrong for me on this.
I had finished my sec check, ethics and checksheets and I was now auditing on base – I had a couple of sessions to do and I was out of there. When auditing on base you have to get an exam after every session. I went to exams and red tagged ( No FN at exams ) for the first time ever. A red tag in solo session meant a trip to Qual and the dreaded “look in” session.
In these days they did not have the fancy electronic set up that they now have where they can view you and your worksheets on a remote TV whilst a remote E-meter in front of the TV duplicates what your meter is actually doing in session. No in these days you went into session with a person from Qual. I think these staff specialised in remaining a little aloof – they were never real friendly.
So here you were locked in a room doing something that you had been doing for years and had it drilled within an inch of your life that you did this thing totally alone, totally secure from the outside world – it was a very odd feeling to now have someone in the room with you – sort of like someone watching over your shoulder whilst you went to the toilet, or had sex – not very pleasant ! No public liked it. And if you flubbed you had to do it over and over until you did it right !
Anyway I did the solo session and went to exams – I again red tagged ! There was a small error in my session so I did a quick cram and then as per usual I had to have another look in. I did that then off to exams – I red tagged again !!! My folder disappeared and I went to my room. That night I did not sleep well – I felt like I had electric shocks running up and down my spine – I was in terror. I went to see my D of P – I needed to get myself into session fast – something was horribly wrong – they needed to give me my folder so I could solo and fix it and they had to do it NOW !!!
I had a lovely D of P at that stage and she told me that my folders had gone to be FESed. I couldn't wait I had to handle this NOW – I was in tears. She looked at me calmly and said ' Vicky you're a really good solo auditor – don't you think its odd that you've never red tagged before and now you red tagged 3 times in a row ? Just wait ...the FES will handle it”.
Although she hadn't said it I read between the lines and totally got her comm – the problem was not my fuck up but the FPRD sec check – I knew immediately that a chain was unflat – and that seemed to calm me right down. I was able to wait for my folder and sure enough I went for a review session ( at my expense of course ) to fix the unflat FPRD chain. That done I then was allowed back on solo where I breezed through the solo and routed out the next day.
I mention this here now because this unflat FPRD had such a bad effect on me and that was only in the space of a few days – you will read later how this gross out tech nearly ruined our lives.
