I think that you may have over-reached your own fishing ability with this one AG. Its much to close to a good idea (in parts) for anyone to ever believe its a serious suggestion. I especially like the idea of computerised claims forms etc - anything that eases the undoubtedly high workload at SHQ must be good.. .. .However, I do think that we need more integration between the forces. For example, as already mentioned, the Harrier and SH forces could benefit from living and training more with the Army, but being run by them? I quite fancy SH myself and while I'd be more than happy happy working with the AAC, if I wanted to join the Army then I would have done.. .. .All in all, nice try but I'm afraid you are in danger of becoming a slightly more worthwhile contributer to this site. DAMN!
