For once in my life I am lost for words, well almost!
You just do not want to see the obvious! With your attitude, you will be unemployable in the civvy world. No company would be able to keep their engineers away from you. Check Bootnecks post! As he says, most of the civvy SAR force are ex forces, me included and we have at least seen how they operate SAR. You have never been near an MCA unit so you really cannot compare!
BTW I do not work for a company in "financial mire," I work for Bristow!!
