Hi Alex

So you're saying Hunter should not get it?

After all, he's no Infanteer.

I would also argue that anyone outside the wire over there, are all equally potential targets for the bad guys.

I've never heard anyone say that the CF made sense in all things. Best of luck to your Boy. Maybe I'll see him as they're coming in to succeed us in Aug 07. I'm to be working with the Res Infantry in the D&S Platoons (but not in the D&S Pl). I'm to help them, among other things, get a handle on mounted ops like Convoy and VIP escort. Should be ......................interesting.
