So what happens if they fail any part of the training?.... just bin em to IOT ...
NAC ITC are not there to select, OASC do that. They are there to train, and given the right quality of training they should all pass. Expensive Physchologists have seen to that. If LMF is an issue, give them a tissue, on the way out of the door.
I agree the generic system has its flaws ... in principle it's good training for NCA however, it does need a revamp !!!
So start the staffwork, for you are right, it is overdue. You can only push crap uphill for so long before it roles down on top of you.
If SH needs so many crewman why are they still streaming Accustic and why hasnt Shawbury shortened all courses to teach what is needed?
I had heard that they had, but SARTU remains entrenched within DHFS which IMHO is unecessary as part of basic training. Many WSOp (crewman) never use a winch, and those that do: rarely. It could easily be a specialised qualification like A Cat NVG and SF Ops. A small cadre of suitably qualified and practised individuals, which I believe is what 72 did when holding a SAR commitment.
Mybe cos of contracts lack of staff ac and a system that cant cope with any more trainee's? discuss
Urgh; TXT SPK, and from a seasoned mentor.
An efficient training system must remain robust when all around it is falling apart. For if the finger is taken out of the dam*, we all drown.
*Word changed due to PC EO indoctrination.
Lighten SARTU's load and get the aeroplanes where they count, basic training. Slightly over recruit, to accomodate the wasters who pull the whool over OASC eyes. Co-locate Puma, Merlin & Chinook OCF Flights at Benson (MSHAFT) and work together with the common goal of getting this almighty mess sorted.
Establish motivated training staff who never txt in public: CU L8r M8
