I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

To amplify what WD said, the first RN in to Mission Briefing was a FS or Warrant equivalent. He was originally intended for the Mission Sim and would have been a valuable source of maritime air defence. However this is an exchange and the equivalent rank from the then Fighter Control branch was an administrator rather than an operator so there was no suitable ground branch person for the exchange hence his employment as a briefer.
