Before they board any flight they will have the horizontal black bar inserted over their eyes.I take it form the grad photo that Air Marshals in CAF are not a covert presence, then?
Urban legend has it that the Hercs used to carry a vacuum cleaner hose to plug into the sextant mount and clean up the cockpit when they were bored. As the legend goes a stop was put to it when they realized they were abrading the leading edge of the tail plane with whatever garbage they were sucking out...
High speed/low drag?
Just following the international military tradition of using the same acronym to mean multiple different things. e.g. SARMaybe the MP folks should have checked that ASO didn’t already exist in the RCAF.
It does; Acoustic Sensor Operator. Been around for decades (used to be Acoustic Sensor Officer when Navs owned the acoustics seats on Auroras).
Perhaps, to exclude this happening, they could be called Acoustic Sensor Submarine Hunting Operators/Locating Experts.Just following the international military tradition of using the same acronym to mean multiple different things. e.g. SAR
Although the thought of someone screwing up a CFTPO and getting one of these guys to try and hunt subs is hilarious. Equally hilarious - having an Acoustician show up by accident for air marshal duties.
I prefer "box lunch connossieurs" myself, but I digress...Perhaps, to exclude this happening, they could be called Acoustic Sensor Submarine Hunting Operators/Locating Experts.
I'd have thought that you'd use that abbreviation for MPs.Perhaps, to exclude this happening, they could be called Acoustic Sensor Submarine Hunting Operators/Locating Experts.
I have used that appellation a time or two for MP's, albeit ones not in uniform.I'd have thought that you'd use that abbreviation for MPs.
Just doing my doodie
Pointing out to an Air Nav Colonel that he'd been replaced by 25% of my cell phone made for an interesting PER season.
Do you really want to advance? With greater responsibility comes greater pressure/bullshyte ,and I am certain that you will not suffer fools. It becomes a trade off, blood pressure vs pragmatism. I chose pragmatism, I suggest you do the same.; you are THAT close to retiring. Moreover. dirt on the stupid people is always funny and apparently un-ceasing.Pointing out to an Air Nav Colonel that he'd been replaced by 25% of my cell phone made for an interesting PER season.
That totally depends on the fleet.Well, sure... that ACSO will be so busy prepping coffee for the AESOPs they'll be fully occupied.
That's the abbreviation, right? Air Coffee Service Officer?
Yup, not very busy in the 146 & 147…That totally depends on the fleet.
Some fleets, they aren't super busy. Some, they are the busiest person, per flight hour, in the airplane.
I spent an entire day in a C2 course trying to figure out why they kept talking about Air to Air Refueling… they were talking about After Action Reports.Just following the international military tradition of using the same acronym to mean multiple different things. e.g. SAR
