Good info Tesla,

I noticed that the only (with the exception of the MP units) maneuver units are 1AD and 2ACR. Everything else is support. It looks like our move to the smaller logistics tail of units like the new SBCT's hasn't really kicked in yet.

F/106th Aviation Company Peoria, Ill.

I'll tell you what, there was a small core group of guys with real experience who could actually work on and maintain those helicopters, the rest were college kids with little or no experience.

If I was with that unit over there, I could only imagine the amount of time I would be working on things, as I was one of the few who actually knew what they were doing. Of course, that was 10 years ago, maybe they are better trained now and have more experienced soldiers in the group than when I was part of the unit.

I hope they are trained now, Just imagine these kids trying to maintain helicopters.
