The trouble is keeping people honest.

if you are on a job where the letdown and winching are demanding/tricky/challenging then it is valid to claim those as trg stats (but not hours) since you were doing the job for real.

However, if the job was easy peasy in simple conditions, it is disingenuous (but probably legal) to claim those stats against your training. The whole point of training is to make it challenging so that your skills are honed ready for the difficult rescue.

Otherwise you are in the same boat as the 5 mins under the hood doing clearing turns as radar trg brigade.

'Train hard - fight easy' is an old adage but very appropriate to SARops.
