And here we see one of the reasons we take so long to get flyers on Sqn...too much *common to all* training. MVASP on the QL3 for all is an example; zero relevance to someone who will end up LRP NASO. RADAR and ESM PCTs...zero relevance to someone going LRP ASO. MH...I don't know about that side, and what will / will not be relevant to those folks with the Cyclone.
Honestly, the BEST solution we as a trade could do it:
- shut down AES OP training in Wpg.
- move the MH background folks to 406, move the LRP background types to 404.
- let each community run their own QL3 with basic *common to all training* (that way you can post them and not have everyone stuck in Wpg and then USQ training away from family for so long), then MOAT/OTU for QL5 (Wings after graduation with a platform Cat). After everyone has Wings, the Horsemen can post people to the west coast as needed. voila. The line Sqns still FG for the TEs, same as now, and outlying units.
I know you guys at 402 have to *please all customers* kind of thing, but teaching MVASP to someone destined for LRP NASO is 4 wasted weeks of effort, time, salaries. Same for ESM/RADAR etc for anyone going dry. Waste of time and resources. There's way too much *common to all* because the trade doesn't flush people out into the *sub-occ* before starting training. Change that, save money, save effort and save TIME.
Too really do what we need to do, we need to identify who is going to what I will refer to incorrectly as sub-occ (NASO/ASO/MH) and give them the training they need. NASOs don't need to know MVASP...ASOs don't need to know RADAR/ESM...and MH won't use the same RADAR/ESM or even use it the same, as LRP types.
We can't treat everything like an apple and peal it the way we peel apples. We have applies, oranges and bananas to deal with and train.
