    I think that's the french term, so keeping it chef de mission is correct.

    Damn! Rebecca Ward is still a cadet!

    I hope he cooks well.

    I wonder who ends up being the JWET 4th. It's good to see such a good cadre (especially the excellent armorers) as well.

    I know that. My point was that it said Chef of Mission... the two languages were amalgamated... it has since been fixed to say Chef de Mission, which I have less exception to (except for the fact that everyone else's title is in English... why is this position special and all franc-ified?... but that's neither here nor there).

    Probably because it's only role is to speak in French at high volumes at organizers who have screwed some US fencer without being as accountable as the team captain.

    Sam doesn't have to raise his voice to shout down someone. He's a lawyer and knows how to lawyer.
