Thanks, that’s a very good idea. We do appreciate the people who chose of their own volition to sign up for this job. They knew what they were signing up for, not that that makes the separation easier. We on the ground should be sent ear protection from them in return. In our case, we don’t receive any protection from the navy, or lifelong compensation from the health problems caused by the noise like people that wanted to do this in the navy get. I would think equal protection and compensation would be fair?
