Crab,
Just because you are military doesn't mean you are gods gift to SAR.
Most of the civilian SAR operators that I work with have a fair smattering of ex military SAR personnel and they all appriciate what each other brings to the table.
Maybe there are "other" reasons for the UK SAR going to a civilian organisation
At the end of the day mate chill out and understand that just because you are British (military), doesn't mean that you are the best.
Cheers
