In all fairness to Army Aviation, there has been and will continue to be a significant amount of change. An aircraft type was phased out, the Blackhawk is being replaced by MRH (not up yet), ARH still isn't up yet, and Chinooks need bugger all people (and can choose other people instead of lid pilots). Introducing new aircraft is a significant challenge. These things don't just turn up and you start flying them that afternoon. All the infrastructure, the systems and processes, the training programs, the training of maintenance crews etc all takes time, let alone if the aircraft run late. Does is suck, yep, a thousand times over.

And in change there is opportunity. Once things get cracking, there will be quite a bit to do. In the meantime though........

Dilmah, mate it's fantastic to see your level of motivation. But mate, you've got a while left at school yet, plus if you choose ADFA, plus officer training, plus BFTS, plus further basic training depending on the service you go to. You've got a few years ahead of you before any of this will affect you and by then hopefully things are very much different to what they are now.
