SAR Operator,
You must get lots of exercise making those sweeping generalisations!
Put a SAR guy into SH and he flounders. Interesting comment. Thinks of SAR to SH transfers........ without naming anybody...... Tries to think of those who floundered .... nope cant think of any floundering over the last 15 years..... Oh perhaps those would be the few SH ledges you mention - i.e. the SAR chaps who transfer across and do well?
Ah, are we close to the truth here? Are you a wanna be? Or are you on Sh flying with an ex SAR chap who you just don't get on with? So perhaps you tar all with one persons mistakes?
Something doesn't add up about your posts.
However, sadly, there are 2 points that I must agree with you on. Red jackets right and proper for the hills, wrong for SHQ. And yep, they did commit suicide 10 years ago.
