Although the unit discussion is funny, it may help to understand that that decision was made to focus on the fact that it is not a 'one person' deal everywhere. The 'collection of people' making up the Comms watch is the Comms Unit. Some places (and some times) this may be one person, other places (and times) it may be more.

You must forgive my friends down at Sector, they are a little slow when it comes to understanding such simple concepts as using SAROPS j/k

Now get back to work my minions.
Its good to be the District.

Really, when was the last time someone there ran a case on SAROPS???? You just use it to look at the work that we do....

Ah, District. Where it's anyone's guess if you get a helo...or not. Depends on which direction the wind's blowing on the 35th floor and who's sportin' the SAR thong.

Just for you, Dave.

Could not have said it better

haha districts are so funny.... how many SITUS out there know how to imput data into an SAR case incident management via MISLE?

Are you teaching them?
Now whats a Situ, oh ya thats the mandated watch with no billets created for them. Tell you what no SITUs up here in D13 till we get some damn billets for them. Rumor has it we'll finally get some in '09 or '10 not holding my breath.

SAROPs has its ups and downs. With so many units logged into the server it can get overloaded. SARDO is a commonly used term at my unit but when we send out emails we refer to each other as SAR Dogs. I help other Sectors and Districts with their SAROPs every once in a while and in most cases its operator error. There are the those occasions when it is actually the server. Try combining SARSAT with SAROPs and then tell me you have problems.

plz dont get me started on SARSAT/SAROPS. We just spent the last month on the STL server, because it was more stable. We were crash up to 6 times a day on the D13 server, till they got it fixed.

A lot of people dislike SAROPS, I for one actually think it is a great tool to use when it allows you to use it. Now go try to reopen someone elses case they started and then weather data. That is my issue with SAROPS. Other than that I do think it has more pro's than con's.
