But.......But......But........the AMA needs an EXPERT, with DECADES of experience at POLICY writing and RISK management. The need for months of SAFETY training and mandatory INSPECTIONS will be ENFORCED.
Waiver? ......I don’t need a steenkin’ WAIVER.....
There is usually a reason for remote tours......maybe AMA needs to step up to the plate and set him up an office in Thule, Greenland
Some people cry out for attention, even negative attention is still attention....

I don't have anything against Greenland. But when I talk remote site, it's a place from which we operated for the purpose of delivering ordnance. And before you get snarky, that's not "delivery" in the sense of shipping and receiving. Pretty amazing what could be done with them despite being still developmental.
