Do you work for Ascent by any chance?!
The BFJT thing will be interesting to see when it's up and running. I like your ideas about companion trainers etc. The front-line support elements would be great too for all concerned. Maybe in less austere times it would all bear fruit.
You are correct about the T2 with AMRAAM etc. Pretty boring really. Pulls pin and runs away to a far away land!
