Irish Air Corps / Air Corps Training
« on: February 04, 2004, 11:18:58 am »
I have always questioned the need for corps units, be they medical, signal, Air, etc, to under take infantry career courses.
There is little use for section attacks at the corps level however I believe that the powers that be couldnt be bothered holding a AC or signals NCO course because it would be "too much hassle".

There isnt enough technical promotions within the DF. Some guys going (like the aptce class) to do technical training and living in a slit trench for 2 weeks doesnt interest them. I am sure that more than 1 has left the AC for the same reason as your mate alpha

It got me thinking about what combat roles the PC-9's could perform ?

A Target for any half decent MG'er

PC9 was a fob off for the AC, it wouldnt look good for "neutral" ireland to be buying combat jets. Look how mad the crusties went about cutting down a few trees in the glen of the downs can you imagine the protests at the purchase of some f16's?
