I'm not 'heading' anywhere my dear chap!

I was simply saying that if I was in the position of TD, and without the benefit of knowing how the honours system works (in the Military) then I might feel a little bit disgruntled at seeing someone 'gaining' from the tragic events of the loss of XV230.

Please don't read anything more into it than that. I am not on a campain for Graham Knight - he has proved to us all that he can fight (and win) his own battles. I am just asking that we show a little bit of compassion and understanding for someone who is perhaps seeing this award slightly differently than most of us here do.

I also do not feel the award is inappropriate and would once again offer congratulations and best wishes to all on 120 and ISK in general.
