Who could really have a problem with someone taking three minutes of your life to backup your perfection in order to check you're as perfect as ever?
Not me, as I said totally sensible.
It also allows the authorising officer or duty auth the chance to discharge his duty without having to attend every planning session and briefing personally.
Things have clearly changed since my days, when it would have been unthinkable for the authorisor
not to be present at the briefing. Perhaps we had more guys (no girls in those days sadly) or, heaven forbid, we were better organised.
I have absolutey no problem with an outbrief (as it has been explained to me) but I simply wanted the record to show that we were not entirely loose cannons and cowboys in the cold war days.
