Some of the sketchier shippers will try it first. There is money to be made.

And I can just about guarantee that the flight deck depicted is too large.

I don’t know and would not say numbers in public, even if I did know.

Exactly. The USAF, unlike us, does not keep senior citizens around…

The AOS Tech trade is reserve only currently, but I see a natural pool of candidates. It is just that it is pretty small.

Exactly. But, the Infantry Corps seems to have taken a personal affront to this offer.

Where in the CANFORGEN does it specify “infantry only”? Don’t worry, I am certain nobody from any battalion will be willing to give this a shot. I mean, who would possibly give up the bright lights of Shilo or Petawawa for a posting to an RCAF base? I can see lots of Bosuns maybe giving this a...

So, about those new AEW aircraft….

It is a pretty big deal setting up a new occupation, so I can see the attraction. Especially for someone who likes doing infantry type stuff, but maybe doesn’t want to do a Latvia tour every 2-3 years. Plus RCAF lifestyle. Cold Lake and Bagotville will not be the only postings. Pretty quickly...

Not sure the total, but we won’t be using the USAF pipeline forever. At some point, some of the initial cadre getting trained this summer will become the schoolhouse for our own course. Probably sooner rather than later.

Well, when you put it that way…

That sounds credible.

I am not sure there are easy bolt ons in an AEW aircraft. The GlobalEye is already pretty space and weight constrained by the Global 6500 airframe (relative to the E7 Wedgetail). EMI/EMC testing can’t be simple, either.

In some ways, the smaller the dollar value, the more risk aversion…

I don’t think there is “lots” of room at 17 Wing. The flight line could be optimized and redeveloped, but the footprint is not all that large.

It is complicated. The RCN is hiring NWOs, but…there is a pretty big training backlog, so they might not be adding very many NWOs in order to beat down the backlog. Reserve NWOs are even more problematic for training…

Orphaned, in what sense? If we (hypothetically- I have no inside knowledge) opt for the KSS III and buy 12, along with the ones the ROKN have, this would still make it one of the largest class of DE subs produced in modern times.

Thank-you! I missed that section. I wonder what the statute of limitations is?

Where do you see in the DAOD that you have retroactively report your relationship history?

I re-read the updated DAOD 5019-1. https://www.canada.ca/en/department-national-defence/corporate/policies-standards/defence-administrative-orders-directives/5000-series/5019/5019-1-personal-relationships.html#pol The DAOD is not worded exactly the same way as the CBC article.
