Countdown. Yes I'm over it, just closing the story from Nutloose's thread opener. As an aside to put the record straight, the guys in RAFG qualified on the same BD, but not IEDD, courses as the sqn personnel, they were no better, no worse. Indeed, I went from the sqn to RAFG and later back to the sqn. The only BD in RAFG was exercise WP stuff; anything 'real' was for the host country.
