A Fg Off Jag pilot got a DFC in Gulf War 1. OPSEC prevents me from naming him, as I think he's still serving.

Snapper, I am curious how you feel Opsec can be compromised on an incident 17 years ago. The award will have been gazzetted and no doubt covered on the news and in the press, as Flying Officer Hasler has been. If the recipient is still serving chances are he is not in the operational arena now, unlike the subject of this thread who will no doubt end up going back again and again. Personally anything which raises the positive profile of the service needs shouting from the roof tops.

Congratulations to all the recipients for their bravery and sense of duty, and that they survived such incidents.

OPSEC?

Well, I guess you're right; I just googled it, and found out that Fg Off Rainier DFC (Op GRANBY) was the youngest recepient since WW2; has that record now been broken?
