    Hang on there while the serving members of the site stick their heads up so a recently arrived WUM identifies them.


    Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.

      Problem is that for a long, long time, the Don used the standard line that it alone in the State was capable of doing the aerial work for the DF yet time marched on and civvies were found to be doing the same or similar jobs, either at home or abroad, for better value for money, using less equipment and personnel and delivering on time and under budget. The Don has always claimed that it's way is the best way yet that has proved not to be the case, over and over again. There's precious little that they do that couldn't be farmed out and they know it, especially when Donners move outside and learn how it's done in the real world.

          because, unlike the AC, the other military services provide, and demonstrate that they can provide, a niche role and capability that a) the state needs, b) that while a contractor could do the world, they'd charge the earth for it, and c) very much unlike the AC, they demonstrate to Ministers that they want to give the Minister more bang for his buck.

          i have no doubt that each new crisis comes up in the world the Army and NS say to the minister and senior CS in the DoD 'we could do that', but that there's a deafening silence from the AC, because such crises rarely happen on a 9-5, monday to friday basis, and within an hours flying time of Baldonnel.

            Enough to give it some balance .

            Too many in either direction and it becomes another ARRSE.

            Enough here with experience of air corps and army and aviation in general to have a realistic overview of the AC, the NS and the Army.

            Stick around you might even get the hang of the debates and understand peoples backrounds and where they are coming from.

                .
                You mean looking at the recent threads where you have continually stating that the Air Corps is not viable, or are there other threads? I am shutting this one down, there are plenty of other threads on this topic, there is no need to start another one.
