ATC is a better and safer option, if in RAF reg and depolyed less lightly to be in the thick of it, keep him on that course mate, get him to get an apprentiship out of them, and stay away from all those wissing bullets. better a live coward than a dead hero

:you are more protected if you can fix them flying things, better a spanner than a gun :roll:
