MB, having spent 4 months in Afghanistan as an air traffiker I stand by my comments as, with an equal "hint of banter", I was replying to AA's statement:
Most of that comes down to an appreciation that we're training for war...can you say that about your primary duty?
I have worked in various operational CAOCs and AOCCs and am personally fully aware of the vital role played by FCs. I initially responded as it appeared to me that AA was unaware of the role of air traffikers. It may surprise him to note that we also train to survive and operate in war.
Finally, I will assume that your comment,
Get a little closer to the action before you start quoting things you know nothing about.
is meant for Take3call5 and not for me.
PS. I think you will find that BAI is no longer part of Air Power Doctrine.
