Thats not how we do things. Buy high, sell low. Thats the civil service way.

And they are part of the Heavy Airlift Wing. They also use the PC9 as well as the PC6 (predecessor of the PC12 single engine utility aircraft), have a dozen assorted helis and a biz jet. What did...

Come on now. 9-4 mon-thurs, 9-3:45 fri.

No more so than any automated replacement, and HPT will tell stories about the force on the deck of the old Oerlikon 20mm. It's mounted on GRP minehunters and patrol vessels so it should be fine....

On a slightly related note, the RN is planning to upgrade its Legacy 20mm Oerlikon/GAM-B01, GCM-AO3 Twin 30mm and Oerlikon 30mm cannon to 30mm Chain gun on the DS30M mk 2 platform, as seen on the...

I saw this with my own eyes. There is a belief that you can't trust just 1 person with gathering this information, so instead a multitude do, and every time the recruit turns up, someone who isn't...

Peoples careers were paused because they were in charge of someone who for a short moment in time, could not find the key to where weapons were stored.
We are still dealing with the fallout from an...

Not necessarily. If I was floating in a raft mid atlantic, I'll take any shade of heli at all, once they pick me up.

You are correct there. Point proven.

I'm going to say you are wrong, and not only are you wrong, you are also blinkered by your own units failed experience, in one of the smallest counties in Ireland, which does not reflect the...

So just exclude the majority of the population so because they don't live within a commute from a Manned post? Rename the reserve CFO. City Folk only!

Read my last post.

Most definitely not. That is not my intention. My idea is more to have an address locally where the recruits for that area could respond, rather than a full time manned location (or even training...

Oh.
My.
God!
The (former) sec gen saying the DF were fixated on weapons says a lot about what he considered his job to be. HELLO! This is the DEFENCE FORCES!!
They weren't there on a sightseeing...

Can anyone see the full story?

You keep saying that, I'll keep saying you are wrong.
If done differently it can be a huge advantage.

From last September. Much has happened since.

The idea of a unit in each large town may not be a runner, but there should still be a physical presence of some sort. Otherwise you limit your recruit pool to the area in the vicinitynof your...

Ah, that changes it a bit, you want to utilise "skilled" reservists, who may already have had training on type. I know many years back I was offered casual work changing seat pitch on certain...

The usefulness of the AOR as a force multiplier should not be under-estimated. Another asset we lack on these shores, unfortunately.

There is no issues with Naval vessel paint. The reserve is not the army corps of skivvies. As former Air Corps, would you be happy letting a reservist do maintenance on a Casa? If not, why would you...

If the rest of the public sector can manage it, why not the DF?

RAN just took delivery of their newest vessel, to be named HMAS Supply.

I have recently come to the conclusion that the local centres need to be brought back. Not necessarily as a full parade room, but at least a manned office of some sort.
My opinion is that...
