Yes, yes, yes, that's all very well, but my unit employs me to sort out our traffic, not XXXX's. I know we also provide LARS, but only to the extent that MY radar picture allows. And, when the LARS function begins to override MY primary function ie sequencing and control of our own commercial inbounds and outbounds, then the LARS side will not get my full attention. Neither do I need a mil ATCO telling me what to do with traffic to sort out his problems.

Now, that said, it was not the C130 driver's fault, and I don't want to give them a bad service, they are after all, entitled to the best service I can provide. But even they, as pilots, will understand that I must provide my own inbounds and outbounds with my full attention. Something I cannot do when Johnny Eagle Eyes at the other end of the line is jabbering in my ear with avoiding action that is unnecessary under the terms of the service I am providing.

As for the large mil seafaring unit to my south, they seem to understand such things and cause no such problems.
