Ben, you can use alot of the same training and tactics that you learned before leaving country. Those techniques can serve you well with these people, just as it did with those. The things I am learning, now, will be some of my greatest assets when I am able to return to this industry....I believe. Knowing how to read micro expressions, haveing more interrogation/interviewing techniques, being able to notice body "tells", and never depending on the words of the menatally challenged, people of low intellect, or certain personallity types will be of such great help. The "having a heart" or "you made your own bed" mentalities are a personal opinion and choice. Some remain hard nosed. Others expose thier careing. Then you have people that will respond according to the person, situation, and other criteria; deciding what thier reaction is, on the spot. I hear my daughter say "You do do"....It took some time for me to understand this but now that I think I get it "You do you". Be yourself and respond how you are comfortable. That is the best advise I can give you, on this subject (and it will only cost you some range time; I barely passed quals; It was the night fire that got me, so I need some A4 time)
