Indeed. Maybe they should have applied for an internship. Lots of organizations like to pick up hires after an internship. I'm sure AQ has a program where you can volunteer and learn the fine art of bomb beltmaking, or staking out security depots. They should have gone over just before the start of summer, when the new interns come on board.
Indeed. Maybe they could take advantage of a youth training programme the way that cops have a ride-along programme. Maybe AQ has a “bomb-along” programme. As for those AQ interships, I understand they can be brutal; not many make it past “Intorduction to Fighting Western Military Forces.”
