i ask because that is what i am experiencing...for the first time. it has been years since i have performed lifeguard duty in sub school so remind me how close must i be for the lifeguard icon to light up (assuming it will light up)?

ok...that was quick.
the answer is: yes. you can play lifeguard during a mission other than lifeguard.
and.
500 yards at 1 kt seems to be the max distance and acceptable speed. could it be done at 2 or 3 kt? don't know.
in this instance, it must have been an USN attack plane because there were two aviators at the same location.
anyway, now it is part of the knowledge base.
