Not sure where you're getting your info from, Dirty Pierre.
I'm quite familiar with the defence flying world, and while it could be argued that graduation from Pearce would be enough to cover the requirements of a CPL, the civil regs are written such that a military person is deemed to have completed flying training to a CPL standard (allowing for an automatic issue of same) at the end of an operational conversion, which would take at least 18 months but in some cases much longer.
I'm not looking to draw qualitative comparisons between the two different training paths, just saying that the Tamworth bit's only the start.
