Vec,
You really should start thinking a little deeper as to why the Mil SAR/ civ eng mix works.
You seem to refuse to accept that SARops can be improved somewhat by employing a different stategy?
Put it this way, would you prefer to use a typewriter or a keyboard to input posts?
I guess you would say keyboard. Don't get caught up in the past because you deny progress. Don't get left behind.
Cheers,
