Hmmmm....they are complaining they are not flying :P

Bump.........UPDATE.........the solo phase is now 72 hours.

I know you keep the NCD's while in the fishpond, heck, I even loved them. Wore them when I was AirDet...way more comfy than the old blue workdress or cadpat....but if I was some an*l chief with too much time on my hands....I'd probably suggest that the navy have a similar slip-on (OD with black...

geez.....wondering now if the fishies will want these with black stitching :P.......and I heard at work that the army types will go to something similar....makes sense, we apparently have lots of money to waste on trivial things ;D

Hold out!!!.......here in tachell, 408 anyways, we(aircrew for now, rest to follow shortly) have to have them up by friday. They'll look really nice once we get the cadpat flying clothing.......god, what a waste of money.

Mods...chose this board as it's more AF related than army but feel free to move it to the appropiate board, like you need my ok :P Well....we got the new AF rank slip-ons....bloody horrible IMO but  now we won't hear the complaining about not getting saluted from 50ft away. Let the snickering...

nah...you didn't jump off....though I did hear a good rumor.....AESOP's make good sangy's...but never believe rumors :D

Hey john........it is a FACT that we (FE's) are changing with the times, meaning we are having a hard time getting techs to remuster to the trade. So, a plan was devised and the FE trade is going to (once all the usual red tape, bs and so on is done) be a direct entry trade though it will be...

Aww......you AESOP's are so sensitive, more time at sea will solve that :P

Royal.........here's some insight on where our trade is going. But before I do, PSO's do not know everything. I've known many guys who have gotten different answers from different PSO's. Some are good and some not so good....enough of that.  Ok....we are in need of FE's (though our trade is just...

OK....here's what you need to do to be an AME from as far as being AVN. When I was an AVN tech, I did the old ICS (not sure what the place is called now) correspondence thing for the usless piece of paper in aircraft mechanics....but with that, all I needed was to write the Transport Canada...

Actually George.........It doesn't matter if you have 20 years in, a wife, kids, dogs and so on......or  someone in a year, who's married or common law...even single. Your entitled to have 20,000 lbs shipped out of your core benefit and if you have more weight or bulky items, it comes out of the...

ahhh........the bag licker's ball...I mean mess dinners....as a young gunner, I recall serving the odd officer's mess dinner and what a bunch of children......but usually a unit mess dinner is good. We had a Sqn mess dinner whn I was in 435 years ago, the dress was clean coveralls with shirt and...

Like sig said....provided your in Esquimalt for more than 6 months (which is a posting), your F&E should be moved at the crown's expense. The military won't care how much stuff you've aquired over the 6 months. But your best bet (unless a RMS type replies to this) is to  talk to one of the more...

Unlike loachmen, I have no desire to be "army aviation" :P .........unless they put a gattling gun on the ramp of the chinook's :threat: Many more CAS's, CDS's and politicians will come and go before the micro slim chance of gettng more planes after these big purchases, in the near future...

geo....what recceguy said...the warthogs were never army......they are national guard toys...which is too bad. Saying that, when in combat, they(pilots and planes) are assigned to the army as an air asset. Many USAF brass want the hog scrapped (too good at it's role, doesn't fly high enough, not...

Then send the snowchickens to Afghanistan, let them perform all over and while the Taliban, et al ,are gawking in amazement............like shooting chickens in a coop :P As for the Herc gunship....heck, we are retiring the E models...so convert them to R/C...load 'em up with 20K plus worth of...

You'd love Pat Bay.......30 some cliks from the fishheads, Vic is a nice place and 443 is (it was when I was there) one of the best kept secrets in the airforce

Bad choice of words on my part...should have said "modify it then toss on other stuff making it near useless" Granted, the 412 IF only modified as a gunship, would probably be a great platform. That means no mission kits (ie, no flir, searchlight, hoist, external tanks). But for a second do you...

I hear ya there Quag........once we have the chinooks, someone is thinking (most likely some young drivers) that we should convert some of the griffons to gunships for escorting the chinooks........near pee'd myself when I heard that...but ya know, I could see our folks looking at this...
