Hey ClydeP,
Are you seriously suggesting that someone isn't going to get their ar@# kicked for letting a member of the public get inside your nice helo? Do you think that your senior officers and members of the public will draw conclusions on the units professionalism if the unit think its "okay" to get their helo attacked and that it's okay if one of the unit's members (if you are) is saying "its fine". Believe me...they do not think its okay and doesnt matter 'cause we'll just get another.
I suspect that your unit UEO will be eating the Chief's carpet sometime soon. Sure he wont be saying its okay.

and if he/she reads your comments you may be too.
