yep, I was taking man and boy to mean what we do in TC, i.e. we double up on a position i.e. one 'Tac' with someone behind as a safety number as well as prompting control actions to aid expedition.
We don't work Tac and Planner at TC, but if we did, and it seemed busy, as a planner I know most of us would be double checking the TACs actions anyways as a matter of course.
We do it as coordinators when coordinating for four or five sector quadrants... no one ever seems to take offence at the odd nudge now and again
