I guess I will give you your due and bow to your obvious skills, given that the Mil SAR units have a 4 to 1 ratio on training hours with which to keep your crews up to speed and the SK3's all worn out (hence all the engineers you have)
After all the MCA units only have 45 hours dedicated monthly training so about 1.5hrs per day, whereas you have 180 hours of monthly training so your 6 hours per day must keep you on the ball.

I only wished that we could have got those sort of hours on the RN SAR units when I was waiting around for the cabs to be serviceable, in between SAR taskings.
