Without any thought, the guys doing the "real job" out east are those on the ground. Beyond this, the next would be the helo boys (!!!! and tough job at the moment - a lot of respect). After this, I wouldn't compare FJ (GR7/GR9 & GR4) and AAR/AT assets, as for both fraternities there is very little risk and comparable effort; long hours, but little danger. Never self glorify yourself. That was not the point of my post. You have missed the point: You, me, the Pax on your ac should ALL have the same deal.
