£35K salary sounds alright until you work out what it actually costs you. You're not getting paid for 8 hours. You're selling your entire day. The commute. The lunch hour you can't use. The 2 hours on the couch recovering when you get home. Add it all up and your real hourly rate drops to about £10.58. The person who made your coffee this morning earned more per hour than you did. They just didn't have to sit through a team meeting first.






















The C-SAR op to extract the F-15 WSO is certainly a good success for the U.S. But let's not oversell it: - He was in a sparsely populated, periphery province of Iran - in 21st century with GPS and satellite phones, the rescuers had a big advantage - The first, daytime attempt failed and led to two damaged Blackhawks, one crash landing, a lost A-10 and injured crews - The nighttime 2nd operation exploited darkness with known position ➡️ So hiding in the wilderness of a remote region for two days, while knowing your position and communicating with your forces is an advantageous situation. Being just 50-100km from Iran's borders is major another advantage. But credit where its due, after the costly first failed attempt, lessons were learned and effectively applied.
