So the average skill level stayed the same for years and all of a sudden, from one tour to the next is suddenly dropped like a stone?  
I in no way, shape, or form said anything like that.   When did I say "from one tour to the next"?   I too have been here for 6 years, and the change has taken time, but as of late i've noticed it becoming more and more defined.   And yes, i'm sure it has *some* to do with the logistical changes, but not all.  Not even close.    Again, this is just my opinion, but please don't take things out of context.   What I typed was clear and legible, with no confusion pertaining to it's meaning.   You seem 100% sure that you are 100% right, so i digress.   It's all good in the hood
