Would you ever send an idiot partner home in the middle of a game?

I had a young partner last year who was checking text messages and either checking his voicemail or making a phone call between innings.

They're addicted to texting. We're going to have a whole generation who are going to have carpal tunnel and curved necks.

I'm addicted to apples, but I never peeled one and ate it on the field before. Where's the discipline in some of these clowns?

And, where is the training, discipline and oversight in the whole process? Even in the big units, they're thrown to the wolves and left essentially unsupervised. It's up to us partners to educate them. I'm in a couple of pretty good units, but when you go to a game from a couple of surrounding units, and the lack of training and supervision is astonishing.

I probably should've clarified that I'm 23 (22 at the time last year), but am pretty sure I was older than him. Even if I wasn't, I still know enough to not even check my phone during games, unless I am checking time for time-limit games.
