Ok, since no one's taking the time to truly flame you, I'm gonna do it to the best of my amateuristic ability.

As a fellow NZ - your lack of skill in basic grammar rules is appalling. I must wonder if you ever passed any of your writing classes. Or maybe none of them involved dialogue which is obviously your weak point.

For an author to have been on here as long as you have, and to have published as many stories as you have - you must be a total idiot not to have made any improvements on your faulty skills. You need to quit writing for a while, and read a few quality authors.

Don't you DARE tell the world that we all have the same poor educational level as you do! You are one of the most pathetic examples of what our educational system produces as I've ever seen!

Boy, you sure know how to set a scene and open a story!

That opener was an attention-grabber, and the mood deftly shifted with the first spoken line of dialogue.

Wonderful close! You do White so well, I'd love to see you tackle something longer with him.

I like the way you manage to evade onerous recaps. There's an easy flow, yet you still feed us enough to follow the situation.

Minor gripe - your American Captain would be thinking and speaking in 'tons', not 'tonnes'.

Oh dear, I think somebody got a bit silly (or should I say 5 somebodies?).

*giggles*

Well, of course, logically, the Colonel would know, being a Navy man himself. I always liked his sense of humour :D

Nice and silly, and you can totally imagine them all doing it.

Wicked story! I loved it! The ending was absolutely hilarious! But, as you said, boys will be boys... :)

I've never seen Captain Scarlet but as you say, boys will be boys. No matter how old or highly ranked they are. :D Hilarious!
