So you will need escorts for all of your guests as well - it’s a good job you haven’t called the Stn Cdr and the Execs “Monkeys” then?
I am truly sorry to hear about your better half, but there are ways and means of trying to attract a sympathetic ear. May I humbly suggest you delete this thread and pick up the phone to the CO, “KT”, ask him nicely and explain your sad situation?
