Wrong. To pull a Valentin, civilian. n. a person whose primary occupation is civil or nonmilitary. (Collins English Dictionary) I think you're reaching for a different word, Mafud. Maybe "accredited" or something similar? PJ's are employed by companies for a purpose, which differentiates them to some degree from casual shooters, but they're still civilians. chris - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
