T3C5 Old Chap,
Your quote :
'...the E3 AWACS and the very few FC's onboard...'
illustrates your considerable ignorance!
FC breveted individuals currently make up approx 60% of the E-3D mission crew. Currently 2/4 8 Sqn and 2/3 23 Sqn Flt cdrs wear an FC brevet. The OCU is currently commanded by an FC, as is the OES and the STANEVAL (until recently). We also fly on exchange with the USN E-2C force, and the USAF E-3B/C's. Probably a little over half of FC WC's will do a period on the E-3D at some point in their careers.
Personally, as an AWACS chappie, no one cares much for each other's brevet (banter aside!). We just view ourselves as WC's, FA's, SC's LM's, TD's or whatever. However, I suggest T3C5 that if you make statements like the above, please engage facts before employing keyboard!
Kindest regards...

PS...AA, when are you going to get a life and come and do a decent job?!!!!
