> [@gromicko](#): > > Inspectors are much like NFL running backs in that we don’t have long careers on average. Three years experience is NOT a newbie by any stretch, simply because after 3 years, you just aren’t going to be surprised on a daily basis any longer. There are only so many components and systems to a home, and a 3-year veteran simply isn’t going to come across _never-seen-before_ issues that often. Most of your new experience will come in your first year. It’s parabolic at first, and then levels off. Furthermore, I’m starting to get some data that shows that the experience a 10-year veteran has is offset by his boredom and thus complacency. It’s certainly evident with regard to SOP compliance. Insurance claims show that when an inspector makes a mistake due to lack of knowledge, he’s likely new, but when he makes a mistake due to complacency (knew what to do but didn’t), he’s likely a veteran. How long has it been since you’ve been in the field? IMHO, unless the HI has had many years in various aspects of building, any other 3 year **veteran is still a newbie!!** **That’s why we see some questionable queries from CMI’s!!!** **It’s hard to defend the undefendable!!** * * * ---

Or are you still beholding to him now that you’re back on board?? What do I need CMI for, anymore then I need CAHPI/OAHI/NC? I don’t need an association to thrive. ---

I can answer that. Unlike the alphabet soup (CAHPI, OAHI, NCP, PEEMYPANTSOHNO, ASHI, IAC2, InterNACHI, ICC) which no consumer knows about or cares about… _Certified Master Inspector_ is INSTANTLY recognized by consumers as the best of the best. Those 3 little words trump all the letters in the alphabet. ---

Brian The only liar here is you. Your name is up in lights at the Oahi site. Several people have confirmed this. Your professionalism is in doubt here, you don’t have a following.
