Hi Andre, Thank you for your quick response I was out and couldn't reply till now. Thanks for the info I guess I misread something somewhere and didn't quite understand how the system works but now I know :)

Thanks

[quote=caprihorse;31803]It's advisable to study certain blogs before complaining or do you think that everyone has nothing better to do except at every trip to explain CM how and what to do? How we can then expect at the trips that you will listen to Marshal's safety instructions and commands?
BTW, can you also correct your Country of Origin to Iran? As you probably also didn't read or understand the meaning of this entry and you just clicked on something what was rolling around your mouse?[/quote]

Hi Caprihorse, I apologize if my tone seemed like I was complaining, I was not and certainly didn't want to sound like I was. I simply asked a question, the same question another member (Cass) asked who was in the same situation as me and a few of the members pointed out the situation to him.

Andre explained it to me and referred me to the post so I can understand how the system works. I am thankful to him for doing so.

However, just because I misread and/or didn't understand a concept does not mean I can't listen and follow instructions during a trip. I am eager to learn all I can about driving in the desert.
Unlike some other drivers I've seen I'm not over confident and I know what I can and cannot do. I know the desert can be an unforgiving place and any little mistake can have dire consequences, not just for me but for anyone traveling with me and other drivers.

I also changed my country of origin, not sure how or why it was saying UAE. Perhaps when I was signing up I made a mistake and skipped it or didn't see it or something. Like everyone else here I understand the term: "Country of Origin" and the fact that I made a mistake does not mean you have be rude about it and insult someones intelligence. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes and clearly this was not a big mistake.

I again apologize if the tone of my previous message seemed rude and as if I was complaining.

Have a nice day
