well I think he wasn't supposed to be a field agent
They did said they also give him basic training for field work tho. But I meant more the fact that he has no survival skill or whatsoever. He let his guard down so easily
Basic training isn't the same as experience in field work, knowing what to do doesn't mean knowing how to do T T.
Until now he has barely done any field mission in all those years (just two, one that did go south). And not being in his area of expertise, I can see why he would make so many mistake and fumbling around people that have experience doing it.
I would say he was contracted because his good in TI shit, is patriotic and has a clean history, field agents are gold but it's important to have people backing them up in tracing, hacking and information security
(For a fiction work it seems plausible, but putting a person like that in field is what the real CIA people wouldn't do at all, I HOPE).
I really want to see how peter joined the CIA. Like were the admission people high or what?
