I do chuckle at MaroonMan's trolling / Jack & Royal baiting, it is a shame that it does get bites rather than Wahs.

If, for example, the argument about chopping another RW SH goes, then hacking the Junglies is totally arse about face - as they can do the same basic that the Puma force does, but also bring amphibiosity as well - so why cut the team which brings more capabilities to the table?

I can see some of the logic in proposing that the Strategic lead should have an Air (not necessarily RAF) suite of qualifications and experience - however unlike the views of previous high ranking officers, would this person not be better to come from an Eng or Logs background rather than having just been a 'stick-monkey'?
