I will disagree, we need those 20 month trained apprentices as vehicles and systems get more complex, particularly if hybrid vehicles become more common. A lot of our woes (across the CAF) comes from the fact that we lost the abilty to make our own parts and lost the expertise not only to replace a part, but to understand why it repeatedly fails and how to correct that. The 20 month program would only be the beginning and after that they need to stay updated by taking short courses on new or unique systems.
We were able to keep a couple of trucks from being grounded, because we made friends with a USNG unit in the same lines that had a mobile machine shop and made up some bits for us for some beers. That is the level of field support we will need.
