Same again - my SAR pedigree goes back to instructing at SARTU as my first instructional tour in 1989 and finished last year after 14 years as a SAR pilot, flight QHI, Sqn training officer, CFS agent and part-time Standards pilot.
It would be interesting to know how many people there are in the new SAR organisation with equivalent or better quals.
Up to you whether or not you think my opinions count for anything - what qualifies you to pass judgement anyway?
