As an experienced SH operator who has busted a gut on every occasion for the guys on the ground, particularly in the FOB's; I don't think this thread is covering anyone in glory right now.
Before the other side commences, I have been pulled out the clag several times by the AH, including one particular night when my ring was ticking like a clock and a certain QHI [named after a former Met Commissioner] went above and beyond to help us into PB Argylle.
Can we stop the dick measuring now? We all do our utmost in our particular specialisations, so lets leave the politics to the SO1's and above and respect each other for what we bring - whether it be SH/AH or maritime.
This whole thread has become a little unedifying.
