The motto of 1 para Bn in South Africa is Ex Alto Vincimus. We conquer from above.

The documentation he sent proved qualifications for the first, but not the second. I don't have any questions about his qualifications; we just don't give the "Paratrooper" title without documented proof. (Don't want anyone thinking he was a poser. If we thought that, we would have - of course- dealt with it.)

Hopefully that's worthy of respect by itself.
