I'm done with you, you can't even accept anothers point of view. Plus
you insulted me, which there was no call for. Have fun ****ing off everyone dude, have a nice day.... On Wed, 7 Jan 2004 07:50:12 -0800, "Tarver Engineering" wrote: "fudog50" wrote in message .. .

Denial? I'd say it's more first hand "frustration" at the acquisition
system. It's your inability to discuss a subject rationally Tarver, and no I'm not a fraud, I'd be happy to show you my sea counter (64 months AT SEA) and shellback certificate from the Enterprise (dated April 4th, 1982). I've served on 5 different carriers, soon to be a 6th. In 22 years active, I have held almost every job on the flightdeck from Blue Shirt-Plane Captain-Avionics Technician-Final Checker-FDC-Maintenance Control Chief-QA Officer and MMCO. I have done tours in EA-6B's, E-2's, P-3's, EP-3's, S-3's and C-130's. My Shore jobs have included 2 tours as an instructor at NATTC and NAMTRA (MTS) and now Fleet Acquisition as a voice of the Fleet, the customer. I am NOT denying that COTS is the way of the future, my point is that it isn't gonna work long term unless the proper follow on support for training,logistics and pubs is funded. It is NOT working now. It may work for you, but it is NOT working for us now. ( the ONLY reason it is working now for F-18E/F is that the stuff is brand new and hasn't started breaking yet). If you' would like, I'll send you the monthly briefs to the Commodores (Pt Mugu for E-2's and Whidbey for Prowlers and P-3's) with the Planeside Assessment Tools, (cockpit charts), which shows the #1 Integrated Logistics Support complaint from the squadrons is " Excessive TAT's on COTS and interim support equipment." #2 is "inadequate pubs and training for COTS" The metrics are all there. Send me your email, I'll get it to you. Or you can go to the NAVAIR NAVRIIP website and download them yourself, (oh wait you can't, you need approval access). COTS is cheaper, but can't we afford the best long term solution for our sailors? Like I said in previous posts COTS would work great if the follow on logistics/training and pubs were all properly funded. We can get there with COTS, but it takes a lot of howling about reality from people like myself and my Team here. You need to read the posts, not just get all emotional about a few words. No we don't call them "boats"!!!! Carriers are Ships!!! And I still feel the same way about Engineers, (this time I'll add the loggies)- Both of them need to be locked up in rubber rooms at night. The truth does matter, we just seem to have a different perspective of it, just leave it at that,,,,oh wait you can't,,,I know you will have to get the last word in ,,,so go for it...

I am NOT denying that COTS is the way of the future, my point is that it isn't gonna work long term unless the proper follow on support for training,logistics and pubs is funded. It is already funded through Rome labs, by way of AFRL. Not only did the Navy score by choosing to follow a path with a future, it also got the whole RPL model for the price of a few publications. I find the whole thing quite ironic, as RPL was a client on Edwards and the accuracy of Dryden's F-18 simulator made the Super Bug possible, the pirates have stolen the whole store. It is NOT working now. It may work for you, but it is NOT working for us now. ( the ONLY reason it is working now for F-18E/F is that the stuff is brand new and hasn't started breaking yet). OK, now, let's go over this again: time between squawks: F-14 0.4 hours F-18 14 hours And that is with the As still sandbagging the numbers. If you' would like, I'll send you the monthly briefs to the Commodores (Pt Mugu for E-2's and Whidbey for Prowlers and P-3's) with the Planeside Assessment Tools, (cockpit charts), which shows the #1 Integrated Logistics Support complaint from the squadrons is " Excessive TAT's on COTS and interim support equipment." Is the system maintaining tracability? Keep in mind that the RPL model is intended to meet several criterion of the NSN bin mil-spec model. #2 is "inadequate pubs and training for COTS" The metrics are all there. Send me your email, I'll get it to you. Or you can go to the NAVAIR NAVRIIP website and download them yourself, (oh wait you can't, you need approval access). I made up the RPL model in the first place, so I don't need it explined to me. COTS is cheaper, but can't we afford the best long term solution for our sailors? Let me help you out on that one: The military once purchased 90% in dollar values of all electronics, today that number is 8% and falling. The military can no longer drive the market and therefore the delivery of integratable part functions is dependant on the commercial market. Costs are directly tied to reliability and a proper application of the lessons of Mil-Hbk 217F lead directly to a recognition ofm how to design for reliability. Consider for a moment, the MiG29, a magnificient design implementing a fascinating application of mechanical feedback loops in 3rd generation aircraft, but by day three of an engagement the system was be predicted to be degraded to the point where the aircraft would be toast. Like I said in previous posts COTS would work great if the follow on logistics/training and pubs were all properly funded. We can get there with COTS, but it takes a lot of howling about reality from people like myself and my Team here. There is no going back, make someone build you a bridge. You need to read the posts, not just get all emotional about a few words. No we don't call them "boats"!!!! Carriers are Ships!!! I have had sailors correct me that those are boats, so I'll be nice to them instead. And I still feel the same way about Engineers, (this time I'll add the loggies)- Both of them need to be locked up in rubber rooms at night. The truth does matter, we just seem to have a different perspective of it, just leave it at that,,,,oh wait you can't,,,I know you will have to get the last word in ,,,so go for it... We are the only ones who know how things work, so you better be nice.
