We were discussing kids that don't make it through school in a decent manner.
The military was once a place for kids who may have had a troubled past, but not any longer.
You won't get those skills in today's military unless you did well in high school and have the smarts.
The NAWC(s) are separate business units. They perform work for NAVAIR, just because NAWCAD is co-located does not mean that NAVAIR has to send it's work there. Plus, NAWCAD has gone through a realignment,. Even the business units under NAWCAD competed for work, we can send work out to STI, Lakehurst or the FRC as well as keep it in house at NAWCAD, unless the PEO / PM decides they want to send it to China Lake or Pt. Mugu. I've seen work go to SPARAR as well that could have been done here, at Pax.
Yes, the Commander, NAVAIRSYSCOM, is the ranking officer in the chain of command, what he says goes.
But with MAO the alignment with the other commands and NAVAIR HQ will be different.
We were told to remove the "code" from our signature lines. We can only use the title of our division / group.
Please re-read my post. I never said anything about NAVAIR being limited in where they send work because they're not limited. Also, NAWCAD is not limited to NAVAIR for sources of work.
None of that, nor what you just explained, changes the fact the NAWCAD is part of NAVAIR which was my point.
