D9, I don't think anybody misunderstood your post. I have no doubt you are correct - they are professionals, they will put their best foot forward at all times. It is not the troops in the trenches that are the issue. I could take a Marine Rifle squad and in a year's time, make acceptable LATAM FID guys out of them. Will they be given that year with somebody that has done it and really wants them to succeed?

504 - where did you hear Det 1 was being disbanded? The rumor I heard is the opposite.

Still want to quit?
