Last night on the way down to Atlanta I came across two brand new controllers. One of them at a military base tracon was having alot of trouble and the sup kept getting on and correcting her. I'm usually on a 150 something heading down there and they usually put me 10 right to go around a restricted area and then back on course in 20 miles. She gave me a 270 heading for 5 miles and then back direct. I was going to ask for the usual 10 right but she was in the weeds as it was. All the pilots on the freq kept on trying to boost her confidence saying "we've all been there", "keep trying you'll get it", and the best from a Delta pilot "don't be nervous Dave here has been doing this for a 100 years and he still can't talk on the radio."
