Bootie,
Why is it me thinks crowbars and other mechanical devices will be required to shift some of the SAR folks to (Heaven forbid....) mere combat operational duties in the 'Stan?
There will be some real need for extra strenght chin straps should all that come to pass.
It is noble work the SAR folks do....but it is not like the billets were ever meant to be for homesteaders as it is only part of the RAF.
