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.
