agree	mhkeg : Right you are Nadia 2 hrs
	Many thanks Mhkeg :)
agree	Steve Booth : for UK you could also drop the 'staff' and just call him a general as we don't really differentiate between staff officers and other officers in their title. However Nadia's translation is 100% correct 23 hrs
	Many thanks Steve :)
agree	Timothy Brooks : This is correct. I disagree respectfully with Mr. Booth, however. In Iraq, they certainly do differentiate between those who have attended staff college and those who haven't. For an occasion as formal as this one, it's appropriate to keep it. 2 days 18 hrs
	Many thanks Timoty :)
