Randy, I like your way of thinking.  Even if a non GT qualed person was @ a mission, but had a license, this would work.  I know of Seniors that physically can't take much of a hike, but are capable of driving a team.  I remember when (for example) the Isrealies put handicapped people in positions that didn't require full capabilities...meaning there is a job for everyone if we think it through.

Yes, there >is< something for everyone, but certain things simply aren't.

You're seriously suggesting putting someone with mobility issues and no field training into a DR?

Talk about mission liability.

Lowing the bar for the sake of inclusion doesn't lower the hazards they may encounter.

Storm Chaser

I agree with Eclipse. Someone with mobility limitations has no place on a ground team. The risks exceed the potential benefits. Better to stay at mission base and contribute to the success of the mission from there.

Private Investigator

I agree with Eclipse.

The only person in the entire Wing that can do this task is mobility impared? Step back and reevaluate the situation.
