Aim Hi

Let's be clear about this.

As instructors we didn't travel thousands of miles from our homes and families with the intention of destroying that which paid our salaries (which, incidentally, were OK but not fabulously high).

Speaking personally, and I think I speak for the others as well, I took the position because it was an opportunity to do what I love after a long career in the military. It was also an opportunity to travel, meet new people, experience different cultures, etc.

It was with great regret that I left Aqaba. I enjoyed the company of fellow instructors, enjoyed teaching the students, and generally felt that (nearly) everyone got along together.

But, and its a big but, there were aspects of AAA that made me feel insecure and, after the enforced departure of the CGI, I felt that I was next to get the chop.

So, No, we didn't set out to destroy AAA. It managed that by him/itself.
