It doesn't matter what kind of "past experience" you have. We have had people with military time, lots of military time wash out, contract tower people wash out and CTI/no experience wash out.
How do you expect to check out when you've never learned how to be a level 12 controller first. It's like giving a child, who has never ridden a bike before, a Harley Fat Boy. It is a tried and true method to send new hires to either ATRCC's (good training set-up) or mid-level facilities (RDU, SAV, etc.)
